Tried Burnishing the brakes twice, didn't help. I sound like a freight train stopping. You can hear it blocks away and that's not a exaggeration.

Taking it to the dealer in the next few weeks, I don't want to be without my car just yet so I'll just embarrass myself for a little longer.

 

My Z51 with mag ride would not engage in any of the performance traction management modes (PTM) and the trip meter would not reset on both trips A and B.

I took it the local Chevy dealer which is Rydell in Northridge, CA. and the they have a resident Corvette expert Donny Yorke. He first unhooked the battery and that did not fix anything. He then tried the simple fix that everyone on the forum has been doing, he hooked up the scan tool to flash the computer but there were no codes present so there was nothing to clear. He then started to dig further and found out the switch was working on the console but the Chassis Control Module (CCM) was not receiving the signal. He then tested the CCM and found out that it was not calibrated for the PTM modes. He said the CCM controls other things like the NPP exhaust and that has been working fine. When he tried to access any of the PTM modes, it just said "unknown" for all five settings. All of these tests were done with the car hooked up to his scan deal thing (technical term) and his laptop.

Donny was able to calibrate the CCM and insert all the correct parameters and now it works perfectly. He worked on the car for about 2 hours or so. He is very friendly and super knowledgable. I hate taking my car to the dealer for anything, but I really enjoyed meeting him and I am super happy that there is an expert this close to me. You can ask for him directly when making an appointment and I wil be using Rydell and Donny for all my warranty and maintenance on this awesome ride. Also, the assistant service manager Rene was right by his side asking questions so he could help anybody else that may have this problem.

Trip meter now resets also. He and I both are not sure which test fixed that issue, but it works now.

 

Having a fun little issue. It started last night. The center screen goes down and gets stuck going up. I have to hit the screen button over and over until it finally goes up. At one point this morning I had to hit the bottom while shifting into reverse.

Anyone else have this trouble?

 

my c-7 the a/c vent over the console on the drivers side will not
turn to the driver it stops in the center and turns towards the
passenger side. the only way to get air to the driver side is from
the vent near the drivers side door.

 

My son just had same problem with his vette. We told them of your issue and showed them the thread. I believe in another post you said that they over nighted the new part. Well with my son it is one week since he initially went in and only now are they telling him they have to take the dash apart to get the model number before they send part.

Seriously pissed. Did they do that to you or just order part. You mean they don't know what went into the build of the car.

Read my post #5. I had the same issue. 8 days for mine to get fixed and yes, the ripped my dash apart to get to it.

 

I have this problem with mine, even tried a global reset, no help. I just let it sit an hour or so and then retry it. I will wait till spring and see if they get some of these problems corrected, meanwhile the car is going into storage.

 

What a freakin disaster. I don't know maybe it happens to all manufactures , but my son already was not happy with domestic cars claiming that this happens alot, service is poor and they squeak and rattle more.

Guess what his vette has all those problems. The screen is bad and it has rattles and vibes.

The car magazines that tested this car must get the best fully tested quality cars that GM can provide, because they have ruined his enjoyment of an otherwise great car.

$70000 and this is what he has to deal with.

Disgusted for him, my damn Camaro came out perfect, I quess after 5 years of production run they will get the Vette right also.

Wouldn't be surprised that when he gets it back if it does one more thing will be visiting the Porsche Dealership.

Sad, I am a staunch advocate of American cars. I love the engineering strides they have made in many of the Chevy cars, trucks, Caddy's etc.

Mines does that as well

 

my service rear axle service light came on, took dealer 6 hours to fix. the corner of the dash has some paint color coming off.

 

I was wondering if they had fixed your car. my service light just came on and the dealer checked it out and reset it which took 6 hours. hope they fixed it.

 

VIN #3583. 329 miles. incredible car. twice my "Link to driver mode" selection has been forgotten upon starting the car later. Both times I had shut the car down while in sport mode. Have to keep rechoosing link to driver mode.

 

Did you get an answer to your problem yet? I have same situation.

 

are the people that are having these prob's with the dimming have thier lights set to auto on thier light settings and have you tried it with this setting off to see if there might be any diff.

 

It does not make any difference where you set it............same result!

 

Just experiencing the first cool weather where there was a call for the heater. I had the unit set in "AUTO" mode and heat set at 72 and it blew cold air for what seemed to be 5-10 minutes.
Only after I set the temp in the mid-80's did a little heat come out of the vents. The cabin ambient temp was in the low 50's.

Had no issue with the air cond., but the heat is not acting right at all. Will have the dealer check it out, but wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience.

 

by the way ..nice looking car
i guess i'm kind of lucky haven't had to many isues(yet) but it sure seems like GM is going to have bulletins flying around all over the place . good luck with it and injoy your car i'm sure gm will come up with a fix''i just feel for the people that are going to have to have thier dashes taken apart .

 

Not sure if anyone has had this issue or not. It seems that there is a faint "clicking" that can be heard at low speeds. It is also evident at higher speeds and rpm, but less noticeable.

 

I just took delivery of #1055 (cyber gray 3LT, Z51) outside of the new car dealer network.All panels have white labels attached to them from "Safe Parts" with a phone number 800-742-7896. There is also a reference number under the phone number which is 42742151527. I am wondering if they are a new supplier at BG or if my car fell off of the truck. I called the Safe Parts people and they have no record of my vin. The service department of the store that did the PDI had no idea who this company was.

I am also having memory seat, mirror, and easy exit issues, but the body is a much greater concern.

Appreciate any help you can provide.

 

Getting intermittent drops of red, oily fluid drops on garage floor under right front wheel. Can go for days and no drips, then the next time I drive the C7, they appear after the car has cooled down.
