PGWAY IS ALWAYS STICKING HIS SARCASTIC COMMENTS WHERE IT IS NOT WANTED. IGNORE HIS ARROGANT COMMENTS. JERK

 

This will not end well.
His expectations and attitude will turn off any dealer and Chevrolet.

You definetely should not be discouraged from purchasing a C7 because of this persons impossible expectations!
I am completely satisfied with my C7 and still can't keep from similing when I drive her! I have had a few minor glitches which GM and my dealer were happy to resolve.

 

You seam to be reading them!

 

Passenger mirror does not return to normal after back-up. VIN is 8659--delivered on 31 Dec 2013.

Also, how does one find out if there are software updates? Do I need to call the dealer or does GM automatically notify new owners?

 

Searched the thread and did not see this issue pop up yet:

Issue: Instrument Cluster Screen turns off while driving.
Resolution: Firmware update/flashing at dealership

Details: While driving on highway 17, the instrument cluster screen on the drivers side goes black. I though the car had turned off while driving on one of the most dangerous roads in CA, quite an unexpected surprise as there are no shoulders and everyone is flying around the blind corners at 60+ MPH. Luckily the car was still on, along with the HUD and infotainment screen. The entire instrument cluster restarted and additional lights flashed on similar to when starting the car. Dealership stated it was a known issue and reflashed the software.

 

Thank you Kelly. But if it’s okay with GM, I would rather not go back to the original dealership. They are misleading and a bit dishonest. They told me that when GM gets involved, they have no control over the outcome. This was a flat out lie. The workmanship in the body shop is not desirable, and the relationship between us is not good as a result.

I provided a dealership name in my private message to you. They have a different opinion on the doors and the bumper. I would prefer working on these issues with them in the future, if possible. This is definitely where I will be taking the car for scheduled maintenance. Thanks again for your help.

I just want to say that the 2014 vette is an awesome machine, and is definitely light years ahead of its predecessor. I've made this point clear. I just have some problems with my vette. It’s not every 2014 model. I've looked at several of them, so I know this to be true.

 

I see that for sure. For the most part, everyone else has been supportive. I don't think I ever said anything about a lawsuit. Talking to a lawyer and a lawsuit is quite a different matter, and a huge leap (and assumption). Lawyers provide many services; but a lawsuit is the very last option in any conflict. His life must be perfect and has never needed legal consultation

 

After hitting a small pot hole I noticed that the passenger right rear quarter joint seam has opened. Looking carefully it is obvious that there was insufficient bonding agent or glue to hold it together properly. The dealer called the Field rep ( who should seek a different job ) said since I hit the pot hole it was my fault. ( I am surprised he didn't say .." You started the car so it was your fault" ). His opinion was that the whole quarter must be replaced ( which is 2 pieces that would need to be bonded together anyway). Looking at it now you can see no cracks, chips or any damage because there is none...just a non-glued lap joint.

The dealers body shop says it just needs glue and clamping but I must pay the $150 it would cost. The dealer says his hands are now tied since the area rep has stated the GM will not pay for it. My question what is the best or proper bonding agent or glue to use ... so I can take the 5 minutes and fix it myself. I will seriously think twice before getting another GM ( and that is all I have ever owned since 1963 ).

Again there are no cracks just an open factory lab seam joint which is spreading because of vibration ... recommendations on proper Bonding agent ...epoxy? or special ...if so where can it be gotten.

 

So...what did your insurance company say?

 

With a $500 deductable I will not even submit it. And I certainly will not have a quarter replaced when it is 99.99% perfect except for a dab of glue needed on the lap joint.


Zurich only covers the tires and wheels and they are horrible anyway.

 

I am happy with my car and my dealer. The car is under wraps until spring, so I am not obsessing over any problems, yet.

Deputy,
if I'm not mistaken they make a 2 part epoxy. I think it's called "panel bond" or something. it's like $60 when I used it about a year ago. if you don't get a better answer, I can do some research from a paint buddy of mine to give yo uthe proper name. Also, sorry for your situation. that blows. Sometimes I like to carry a ski mask and axe handle!

 

oh and you have to have the special gun that squeezes the stuff out.

 

after reading all these posts about the Dealer "flashing" the cars, I'm concerned about this also. Can someone please advise??

 

I carry more than an ax handle ...

 

I think you are referring to the mixing nozzle on the gun to properly mix the 2 parts. I have used these many times ... they work great.

 

HAHA. it's late and I'm tired, should've caught that with your avatar name!!!

 

Seatbelt Issue, 2/24

Not sure anyone else has had an issue with this. Beginning yesterday the driver's side seatbelt tensioner would not give slack under normal driving conditions. In other words, the seatbelt had me pinned in place with no slack or ability to lean forward. Obviously this is more than just uncomfortable, it's dangerous when you need to lean forward to see surrounding traffic, change lanes, etc.

I hope I'm describing this in a way that is clear. Anyone else experienced this problem?

 

Why would that not be covered under the bumper to bumper warranty. Do we have to drive these on perfectly paved race tracks? I agree, that rep should find another profession, or at the very least get some really intense public relations training, or sensitivity training.
