** C7 Reported issues and resolutions thread **
120 documented issues (posted on the forum)
16 issues related to center/infotainment screen ("goes blank", "will not close", etc.)
10 issues related to activating PTM modes (appear to be resolved by 5-minute dealer reset)
7 cars with paint issues ("runs in paint", "touchup paint", etc.)
6 cars with rear diff/axle issues ("no fluid in diff", "service rear axle light", etc.)
A number of people have commented about the dim lighting of the Driver Information Center (DIC), which appears to be somewhat driver-dependent.
Three cars had fluid leaks.
And a lot of "issues" such as "can see license plate in backup camera", "wrinkles in leather seat", "rear tire picked up a road hazard", etc..
I'm thinking of assigning each issue a category (1,2,3...) to gauge severity.
Honestly, I'm not seeing any REAL trends of MAJOR items except for some center screen/infotainment screen problems, and a number of minor issues such as DIC lighting, trouble engaging PTM, etc..
The paint issue is a watch item, but again, there doesn't appear to be a trend.

There are a number of issues that have been reported by only one owner.

I mean, people are reporting that they get 3 horn chirps when they leave the remote in the car while it's running (which is normal function), and the inability to sync with a Genie garage door opener. I just can't list everything on a brief summary.

From the inexplicably broken windshield after the top was removed and reinstalled to the car suddenly locking up all four wheels while you were driving, nothing comes close.
Hopefully your issues will be resolved.

Upon the shifter moving into neutral so I can shift to first once the car stops, the car revs up to 3K. This only happens when rev-matching is on.

On another note, I took my vehicle to the dealer yesterday and met with General and Service Managers to discuss my issues. I'm satisfied with their answers except when it comes to the paint and body panels. They're basically telling me they can't fix it without re-spraying the car (which I don't want to do). What really bothers me is they said and I quote "it's man-made so it's not going to be perfect". Really? I guess these guys have been selling GM products for too long and have become complacent with quality.
Snorman - thanks for putting the list together.

It was there from day one and we thought it might pull out although it hasn't. That is on the list when ot goes in for initial oil change.
I already posted about the odd issue with calling for heat and having cool air blow out the dash vents with air that is luke warm at best. Never experienced this in a vehicle, although someone on an earlier post tried to explain his C5 did something similar. Didn't have this issue with my C6.
Infotainment system seems to be moddy
. It will work fine one time then the next time in voice command "she" will walk me through the phone steps up to making the call and hang up or disconnect. Happened again yesterday. The next time she will understand the command such as phone or Nav, but then can't understand anything else, even though the day before I had no issue. Just seems odd one day she understands everything perfectly and the next it is as though I am speaking a foreign language

The infotainment system does a few other querky things, but they are intermittent. Seems as though there should have been some additional pre production testing.
These are minor issues and I love my new C7, but did want to capture them on this thread for VIN 1631.
