We apologize for the delay in parts, a matter beyond our control. The poor communication, however, I can do something about. I know it is frustrating to have such an exciting and expensive investment "up in the air," especially as the car only had 35 miles on it when it was delivered to you from Michigan. None of the C7's we've delivered at Jim Ellis Chevrolet have exhibited this problem but we are working diligently on fixing it. But hey, we're the ones that helped the nationwide recall on the rear ends because, unfortunately, one of the first of over 100 we've delivered, the rear end failed. I would stake our reputation on David Fulcher's abilities and other than being off on Saturdays, he knows his stuff. Sincerely, Mark Frost - General Manager

 

It is relieving to know that Jim Ellis Chevrolet recognizes the inconsistent, and at times confusing, communication pattern regarding our problem. This deficit was the causative issue.

Parts availability, Saturday work hours and technician comparative skill level were secondary concerns.

Again, we are grateful for the involvement of others in what we hope will lead to a successful resolution of a painful process. We hope to post soon that this is resolved.

 

DirectionalMan I have been having a problem trying to get my visor remote working with my Genie also not sure I'm having the same problem but it sure sounds like it my garage door is only about 2 years old could I still be having the same problem as you did with a newer Genie door? Any hep would be a big help... Thanks

 

Have a 2012 GS and had brake squeal at low speed or when stoping
Dealer tried to fix by replacing pads and on 2nd time re did rotors still does it, just gave up.only will do it when they get warmed up.Took a cell phone video to show dealer that helped. They said GM says brake noise is normal. I have had 6 vettes with no brake noise BS.

 

 

Just had the base wheels powder coated gloss black on my torch red black racing stripes C7. When they went to re-balance the wheels they find that all 4 Michelin tires are out of round. Only 800 miles, is this possible?

 

I'm assuming that this would be considered "wear and tear" and not covered under warranty? I find it hard to believe that all 4 are out. I would get a second opinion. Hate to hear that. These tires are not cheap. I've read on this forum of guys picking up nails on their way home from dealer who did not purchase the dealers "tire protection plan"

 

We have received a call that our car is ready for pickup.

We shall do so as soon as possible.

Again, our sincerest thanks to all those who called and wrote on our behalf.

We look forward to seeing and driving our car and to return to the concept of trading for an early Z06.

Our deepest appreciation.

 

i am cross posting here, the main thread is in general, but here is the update for today on my issue

Update, a main 350 amp fuse is blown, unsure as of yet what caused it. case opened with GM corp, local tech is now speaking directly to the technical team at corporate to start to understand why a 350amp fuse would pop on the car.

I am happy we are making progress! I think it will be awhile before we get her back, but I would rather this is done right, and not done in a hurry and in haste. weather sucks around here anyway...

 

Where is a 350 amp fuse located? Is it a fusable link? Is this a C7?
Found part of my answer by searching. See yours is a C7, still wonder where the 350 amp fuse is located! That is a very big fuse! Except for some very high powered sound systems don’t find those in cars! Maybe in a welding machine or other industrial system but doubt AutoZone carries one!

 

I am not sure, once it died all i did was make sure the battery terminals were tight and called it a day. yes, this is a c7

 

Thanks. Perhaps they are using some type of shunt and the micro is monitoring. It may have been defective. Will be of interest to see what the dealer says when they get it fixed.

 

Looks like it is my turn for some entertainment screen, radio, and climate control problems. Started a couple days ago with the screen flickering constantly but has now progressed to the radio constantly switching between radio stations. Same if I hook up my iPhone--it keeps forwarding to new songs every few seconds. In addition, my a/c temperature gauge is blank and the driver seat heat turns itself on and won't turn off and the passenger seat turns the ventilation on and won't turn off. I know the radio issues are fairly common, but has anyone else heard of the seat heat issue?

 

Noticed leaks on my driveway after moving my C7. Looked in the garage and noticed numerous leaks where I park the car. Leaks were in both rear axle seals and right side cooler line fitting. Only had 540 miles on it so they started likely after a few hundred miles at the most. Everything fixed today and no leaks. Vin 12317 with TPW 1/6

 

Done deal and simple, with a Genie garage door opener push the learn button on the opener transmitter you have 30 seconds to hit the visor remote 4 times and it's programed. I parked the car in the garage while I did this you might have to press one of the visor buttons more than 4 times but it worked for me with just 4. FYI that is if anyone is having a problem programming your visor remote on your C7 and you have a Genie opener might work with other brands but not sure.

 

I'm having some new issues since they did the software update on my car.

My cluster keeps resetting now and then. When it happens, the screen goes black, the gauges reset (do a full sweep) and I lose a bunch of my settings.

Anyone else having this issue? It's happened to me 2 or 3 times now.

 

Power Memory Seat Operation
March 24, 2014
The power driver’s seat with memory recall and Easy Exit recall operations (Fig. 8) on some 2014 Corvettes (with the Memory Package, RPO AAB) may seem to operate erratically or intermittently. To help with diagnosis, it’s necessary to become familiar with the operational characteristics of this all-new system.





Fig 8



Some common comments include:

• The seat won’t recall when entering the vehicle
• The seat only moves when holding one of the memory buttons (button 1, 2 or the Exit button)
• The seat stops moving when releasing a memory button
• Sometimes the seat moves completely to the stored position by pressing and releasing a memory button



Seat Travel Limit Switches



The new Bulkhead Limit Switch, located on the left and right body harness conduit (Fig. 9), is used in both seating positions and acts to prevent damage to the body harness and seatback covers when the seat or seatback is moved in a rearward direction. When this switch is active (any time pressure is detected against the rear bulkhead/carpet area directly behind the seats), power seat movement is limited to movements that will bring the seat/seatback forward.



Fig 9



The new Seatback Unlock Switch, located inside the seatback assembly at the recliner mechanism, is used in both seat positions to prevent the seat from moving further rearward to ensure that the seatback can return to the normal upright position. When this switch is active (any time the seatback is manually folded forward), power seat movement is limited to movements that will bring the seat/seatback forward.



Both of these switches are viewable with the GDS2 scan tool. Common reasons for the Bulkhead Limit Switch being active are if the Easy Exit setting is stored in a position that applies pressure to the rear bulkhead or if an object is behind the seatback.



Supervised and Unsupervised Movements



Unlike prior models, the new system features unsupervised and supervised modes.



Unsupervised movement occurs when the operator has pressed and released, within 1/2 second, a memory button, which allows the seat to move on its own to a previously stored position.



TIP: Pressing any power seat button or memory button during unsupervised movement stops the seat. To resume recall operation, press and release, within 1/2 second, the desired memory button again.



Depending on transmission type, unsupervised movement will occur if:

• Automatic transmission – The vehicle ignition is on, the transmission is in Park, and the Bulkhead Limit Switch Seatback and Unlock Switch are both inactive.
• Manual transmission – The vehicle igntion is on, the clutch is depressed, the Parking Brake is applied, and the Bulkhead Limit Switch and Seatback Unlock Switch are both inactive.



Supervised movement occurs when a memory button is actively pressed and held, which allows the seat to move only while the operator is supervising the seat movement. Releasing the memory button will stop the seat movement. Only supervised memory recall operation can occur when the vehicle ignition is not in the On/Run Position. If the Bulkhead Limit Switch or Seatback Unlock Switch is active, either no operation will occur or supervised operation will occur, depending on which switch is active and the requested direction of seat travel.



Auto Memory Recall



The new memory seat system allows the operator to enable or disable the Auto Memory Recall operation of the seat. Auto Memory Recall is when the seat moves to a previously stored position either when opening the driver’s door or when the vehicle igntion is turned on. In order for auto recall to function, the feature must be turned on in the Settings menu of the infotainment system.



The operation of Auto Memory Recall is based on transmission type:

• Automatic transmission; At Driver’s Door Open – When the vehicle ignition is off and the Unlock key fob button is pressed, auto recall will occur if the driver’s door is opened with four minutes. The seat position will be recalled to the set position if the Bulkhead Limit Switch or Seatback Unlock Switch is inactive. If the driver’s door is already open, pressing the Unlock key fob button will cause the seat to recall to the desired position if the Bulkhead Limit Switch or Seatback Unlock Switch is inactive.

• Automatic transmission; At Ignition On – When the vehicle ignition button is pressed, the seat position will be recalled to the set position without a memory button being pressed if the Bulkhead Limit Switch or Seatback Unlock Switch is inactive.

• Manual transmission – The only available selection is on or off. If turned on, when the vehicle ignition is off and the driver’s door is opened, the seat position will be recalled to the set position if the Bulkhead Limit Switch or Seatback Unlock Switch is inactive.



Easy Exit



The new memory system also allows the operator to enable or disable the Easy Exit Automatic Recall operation of the driver’s seat. This feature recalls the current driver’s previously stored Exit button position when exiting the vehicle. In order for the Easy Exit feature to function, it must be turned on in the Settings menu of the infotainment system.



Easy Exit recall automatically activates when one of the following occurs:

• The vehicle is turned off and the driver’s door is opened within a short time.
• The vehicle is turned off with the driver’s door open.
• The Exit button is pressed.



TIP: Similar to Auto Memory Recall, the operation of the Easy Exit recall will differ based on Transmission type. Refer to the Supervised/Unsupervised Movements section.

 

6 fuses/links mounted on top the battery....... 1-350 2-100 1-60 and 2 unlabled

 

Picked up the car and no more leaks so far, although, I'll need to take it out and run it hard to see if it starts leaking again. Seems there have been so many calls about this issue that a bulletin was issued, #3750988. Calls for the dealer to remove the air filter assembly and clean it all out, replace the air filter and change the oil/oil filter. They also cleaned up the engine and the engine bay. Haven't had a chance to get under the car to see how well they did.

Anyone know where I can go to read the bulletin online? Should have gotten it at the dealer but it was so late when I picked up the car I forgot.

 

Thanks for the info! Wondered what was on the terminal board on the left side of the battery! Will have to look next time I am in the battery area. First car I have had with a 350 amp fuse! Maybe since it is a rear mounted battery and the wire for the starter passes in areas where in an accident it could short. Had the concern of that long wire directly from the battery to the starter when I wired my street rod, which has the battery in the right rear. I decided to use Ford starter solenoid mounted close to battery so there is power to the starter only when it is energized.
