I too have this on my passenger window "this makes three forum members"
VAMike73 /billsblue73/azvetters, passenger window lose of indexing- not both windows, just passenger window & wont stay up??????

please let me know what they find, thank you.

 

Take the hood out of the story and and block it out. Maybe, put a dark towel over the windshield and see what that does.

 

Yesterday I had my car into my local Chevy service to do the software update for the climate system, dim lighting, etc. It apparently was a huge update, and I was waiting in service for around 2.5 hours for it to finish. I'm not sure why it takes so long, but whatever.

After updating it seemed to remember all of my settings, but my favorites were deleted.

One side effect I am noticing is that a fan in the climate system continues to run after I turn the car off. It stops at some point after I get out. I'm not sure why this happens, because I couldn't detect any air coming out of any of the vents.

While my C7 was getting the update, I asked service to check if the new head unit was available to replace the flickering screen problem. They eventually were able to reach whoever they needed to this morning, and Chevy says to replace just the screen. So they ordered a new screen.

QUESTION: Does anyone know if replacing the screen will indeed fix the flickering screen problem? I don't want the service dept. to rip apart my dash if it won't fix the problem.

 

This thread is great but it's HORRIBLE!

My point is are these issues happening with cars that have been recently delivered?

Issue "dim radio", for example, what VINs are affected. Early cars? Later cars.
Issue flickering screen? Same questions.

There has to be a way to glean this information short of reading 13 pages (1,263 posts) of information. I have either 50 or 100 posts a page (don't remember off the top of my head). Summarize in post #1? Summarize in another thread?

Just sayin'.

I think I know what that is.

You know how some cars stink like mildew when you first turn on the A/C? Some of the manufacturers started doing this to try to cure the mildew smell you can get if you run the A/C and just turn off the car. The extra air after you turn off the car helps to evaporate any residual moisture and hopefully eliminate any odors.

 

Be careful of the little emblems on the seat back. I was getting in the
car the other day and my elbow slid across the emblem which them broke in half and cut my arm real good. I now have half an emblem and a long scab on my arm.

 

I dropped off my Z51 (VIN #2498) at the dealer on Thursday for some of the common issues:

1. DIC and center console too dim at dusk
2. Center console rolling and going black
3. Center console freezing and not allowing changes (not related to #2)
4. Heated seats not heating
5. HVAC issues
6. Service bulletin for rear differential level

They called me today and said they loaded all the "approved" updates but they didn't fix my issues. On Monday the factory is going to remote connect to the car and install "unreleased" updates.

Not sure what all this means but I'll let you know (hopefully) on Monday.

 

Please keep us informed as I have been waiting for someone to experience verifiable fixes so I can take my car in for many of your same issues. My biggest issue is center console goes black shutting off all functioning areas.....reboots itself after about 25 seconds...does this about every 20 miles of driving.

Thanks

 

I am having the same problem. Was not that way at first.. no adjustment as I can find…

 

Vin #602, non Z-51. I have had the very same issue but I have bad news for you all. Yesterday it started doing it all the time and is idling badly when it does it. If you are on the gas it is fine now, it use to be at low speeds only and only every now and then. Now when idling it is horrible sounding. I'm headed to the dealership on Monday with it. I also have a chirp that happens when in S ot Tr and it happens when it switches from 8cy to 4cy. I knew there would be issues and I would not trade this problem for all the fun I have had with the car to date. I have roughly 5500 miles now. If anyone has had this problem and found what it was and the fix, please let us all know. Thanks.

 

Wow, sorry to hear this. I have the same problem on my Non Z51 automatic. I'm headed to the dealership tomorrow. How long did it take to get your car back?

 

The problem was fixed--they ordered a new power window motor, but when they looked further, the wire assembly leading to the motor had a crimp. After they fixed the crimp, the problem went away and the window works flawlessly.

 

No progress yet that I'm aware of. The Z51 is still at the service department.

 

Love this car!!!! But:
BSD: Has now happened twice. The first was the day after delivery, last week. I had read the last 30 pages of this post the night before, in anticipation of delivery, just to be aware of any problems and fixes. Remembered the suggestion to push the down screen button and that fixed the problem. To Hendrick's credit; I mentioned this problem when their lovely representatiove called me that day and got a call back the next day from salesman Chris and one of their service rep's the next day. I thought I had the solution. But it happened today while I'm on a cell phone call. Screen went black, I pushed the down button just has the system "rebooted, at least that's what it looked like!" Now working, but...
Bluetooth problem: there's a problem with car computer and Android phone. I have an HTC One, running very current operating platform. Sometimes when I try to make call from phone, the car is very behind what is happening on phone. Also, radio sometimes does not shut off to allow call through system.
I'm sure this is a programming error as it has happened several times. I have also noticed that the dash screen "cell battery" does not accurately reflect the charge left in the phone. As exhibit #1, I proffer the following photo of my dash screen. I shows the battery all but depleted; but my cell says I have 35% battery.
Still think this is the best Vette ever. This is #7 over the past 20+ years; so I've experienced 3 new "C's". Not unhappy at all, as I expect Chevy to eventually work out the kinks!!

ps, did I mention that I love this car!!

At times I have a clicking noise coming from the rear latch for the removable roof panel. I mentioned it to the service rep when I was in for an oil change, but he said I'd have to leave the car and that it was a hassle to fix. I didn't want to leave it that day, but I was wondering if anyone else has had the problem, or knows what the fix is. I was told it's some kind of adjustment.

 

my fuel tank door will lock and unlock (or vice versa) when I approach. could that be what you're hearing?

 

No. It's definitely internal to the rear latch. In fact, if you push up slightly or pull down slightly, the clicking instantly stops. The next irregularity in the road and it starts up again. On a very smooth surface it doesn't do it at all.

 

Yes it will I had that done the first day I picked mine up. An interesting asie. While they had the dash apart i had them run a wire tied to the ignition thru the defroster vent to supply a radar detector since I didn't want it going from the power port to the window. They did it for almost no cost since the dash was apart.

 

OK, got the Z51 back this afternoon and I did take it around the block a few times to try and determine if things were better or just so/so. here's what I found so far:

1. A software update was installed for the displays and that fix seems to be working much better than before. I'll say this one is OK.
2. The radio control panel was replaced to fix the screen rolling and going black. Apparently the dash had to be removed for this fix. So far so good. I will say the screen seems to operate slightly faster and far less pressure is required on the screen to make changes or navigate around. I'm not sure why there is not a setting allowing us to adjust the pressure required to make changes but what the heck.
3. This item was also related to #2 so changing the module should fix this issue as well.
4. This is still an issue. What I was told is that the seats are functioning per design so people wouldn't burn their butts. Sorry, don't like this one. I just purchased the wife a 2014 Camaro SS and the heated seats will weld your butt to the seat after 10 minutes. If Chevy is worried about the perception of the seats being too warm then it only applies to the Vette.
5. HVAC issues seem to be less of an issue after another software update but I haven't driven the car enough to definitively say they have all been corrected. I will say the unit responds better to setpoint changes however the internal sensor seems to be reading higher than the actual temp.
6. Rear diff OK with no additional fluid required.

One major thing I noticed is that Sport mode is no way near what it was before the updates. Previously, the steering and handling were very close to the Track mode. Now they are closer if not identical to Tour mode. All my settings are still the same so the update did something to the electric steering and the suspension.

That's all for now. I'll post another update after the weather clears again.

 

the C-6 also did this
