When or if balancer problem fixed
I've searched the forum and online to find out if the harmonic balancer issue extended to the 2013 year model but can't find confirmation. Did see a listing on a tech sheet that seemed to show 06-12 years. Are the later years of the C6 better than the earlier ?

I've had my balancer go bad twice, and it's fairly easy to spot and diagnose - it didn't fail quickly either or immediately for that fact (YRMV). Generally the belt will squeak on startup for a bit, it will start to throw belts off & there will be an incredibly visible wobble. Some wobble's fine though.

I would see what parts the C7 uses for the HB and that might give you some guidance as if the problem still exists.
Personally I'd like to see a poll as I THINK the problem is rev (manual transmission mostly) and age related, but I'm just thinking out loud here. I do know that my '71 Chevy Nova 3 Speed Hurst stick had a bad HB at 152K miles,
