I have the dash set in sport mode with the mph and g forces shown. When I get a phone call the center screen says phone connected. The screen will not go back to the other screen when the call is over. I manually put the screen back where it was. Is this normal???

 

I have had mine since December and have to manually change it as well. I'm guessing that's normal.

 

Thanks JJJ

 

Car at dealership waiting to hear if radio will be replace. GM said to take the dash apart and see if radio and a/c, controls work. If not they said possible center unit module will needed to repair problem. 8 hrs so far keep u up to date on repairs.

I took the C7 on my first road trip. After stopping for gas the first time the car starting making a rattling noise when I accelerated. Thought I paid for premium gas and got low octane. Turned out the belt tensioner was bad that was causing the noise as well as A/C issues.
Brought it back to the dealership as soon as we returned. Took them a couple days to find the problem and get in a new tensioner. Been working fine ever since.

 

just picked up my c7 z51 conv. Does anyone have a hopping or bouncing or thumping when making a sharp turn. Example, pulling out of garage and turning steering wheel to the max. I had the same thing with my 05 c6

Many threads on this. Quite normal due to the suspension geometry.

but quite daunting when you first experience it. My son came how with "I think traction control has a problem...there is this wheel hop"

thanks for your input. I was worried for a moment.

Salty, you are quite welcome. It is quite a sound if you are not prepared. My son's second thought was a flat tire or broken suspension component.

Maybe this will make itself into the 2015 manual.

 

According to the owner's manual on page 10-62, tire chatter/hop is normal at slow speeds and sharp turns. Nothing to worry about.

 

Drat.... Ya beat me to it!

For those just getting their Vette and where it is still cold (below 45F) that GM "it's normal" statement really doesn’t cut it when you take your friends for a ride and they hear what sounds like your car is falling apart!
Have faced this since early October when I got mine. Lots of info floating around on the Forum as to why, like it is poor design of Ackerman steering geometry. From my observation and Forum comments here is what I think it is, especially with a Z51, in order:
1) Tire compound at 45 F and below. Folks who switched to all-season tires say it was eliminated or reduced. One early moning I pulled out of the garage when it was about 40F - chatter. Later that day it reached 80F and I purposly backed out of a parking place with full lock-no chatter!
2) The C7 has a 2 foot tighter turning radius than my C6. My partial solution to the issue is when it is cold do not turn as tight!
3) Ackerman geometry is probably a factor and is proably what helps the C7 reach the 1.08 “G’s” we all like to quote and feel!
I put a picture summary of the possible effects on my web site so, in case you turn to sharply when it is cold and have a friend or wife in the car you can explain that the car is not falling apart and "all will be well when it gets warm!" See PDF on my web site: netwelding.com/reports_vette_info.htm

 

I had a similar issue with my C7's rear bumper fitment and the dealership took care of the problem. Even now, there is an extremely slight step so it isn't 100% flush, but its so small that I am not worried about it. Furthermore, its MUCH better than before so I am happy. I don't expect cars to be 100% fit from every corner.

 

Maybe it's been discussed, but without going thru all 73 pages, has anyone had problems with radio controls in steering wheel not always working?

 

At one time or another, it's happened to most of us. It's usually cleared the next time you get in and start the car. Sunday for the 1st time, mine locked onto 'one' song on my iPod. Fortunately it would turn off so I happily listened to the 4 trumpets for a while . When I started her up again all was fine. It's the only time in 7500 miles it messed up. I'm not worried.

 

At 1800 miles, mine has done this at least a dozen times, and as you stated it resets when you restart the car. It also appears the lights in the controls on the wheel do not light when the controls aren't working.
I've held off taking it to the dealer in hopes of the solution being known by now.

 

The Corvette Orange Peel problem is major. I checked the local dealers (I bought mine out of town) and they all have the problem.
I have built quite a few street rods and restored antiques. If I brought one of my restored cars with this much Orange Peel, I would be laughed off the field.
This is much worse than "Normal" Orange Peel on other modern cars.
I would like to have a resolution.
