Glad your hatch latches with little effort. Each car appears to be different. When I first tried to push on the center of the hatch to latch it, I noticed it was bending. Decided not to latch it that way. A person doing Museum pick-up posted that they were told NOT TO PUSH in the center; that there were reports of paint cracking. Someone recently posted that their large volume Vette dealer mentioned they had about 15 to 20% of the cars sold report paint cracking from pushing on the center of the hatch. The Museum folks recommended pushing with two hands on the edges of the hatch where it is peaked.
In addition to adjusting my hatch stops until the hatch was misallied in both directions with no help, I also tried lubricating the latch - also no help. Believe I’ll continue to keep a door open, especially now that I can essentially allow the hatch to drop and latch with my right hand from the right side of the car and can then close the driver’s door with my left!

 

I've experienced all of the frustrating issues described elsewhere regarding the voice recognition. Then my Chevy dealer enlightened me.

Anytime your climate control is running the fan at a higher speed, there is a frequency developed that is inaudible to the human ear however it masks most peoples' voice frequency of speech.

Now, before initiating any voice command, I manually turn the fan speed down and the voice recognition works great! Once the call is initiated, I restore the fan by touching Autoclimate.

If Chevrolet is reading this, they need to program the voice recognition button to temporarily decrease the fan speed during the call initiation phase. The fan should then promptly be returned to its normal function (not remained suppressed as the entertainment system does).

 

Great suggestion! Think GM should just filter out anything above voice frequencies.

 

1.well the car has a whole 273mi,s on it and all the fit and fnish is starttihg to move and come apart. serv.says well they will do that its normal , but if you want we can let one of our monkeys take it a 100 miles to our body shop and tear the hell out of it and try to put it back together

Based on your username, I would have guessed you would like the bucking bronco edition.

yep feel right at home ,,,,

but before the trolls jumped in i was going to list the pos. things i found.
nice sound system
seats small but comfortable
braking good
and the new style i like
and ofcorse all the new bells and whistles that unlike some others are stll working ok .

 

I have 2014 Z51 3LT Manual
1. My engine doesn't seem to accelerate smoothly under very light
acceleration. Mainly when it is cold but it happens less severely
when warm.
2. The rev matching sets the engine to the wrong speed when shifting
from 1st to 2nd.
I know it isn't supposed to operate below 20MPH and that would be OK
My problem is that it does operate but picks the wrong RPM
I have a number of occasional problems.
3. The memory seat but used to work about 80% of the time before the engine is started. Now it's maybe 20%.
4. The hill assist doesn't always work. I can't rely on it.
5. The backup camera sometimes won't work until the infotainment system turns on.
6. When the driver door is opened. The gas cover lock sometimes
cycles many times. This doesn't hurt anything but it can't be normal.
I have had it checked for items 3 and 4. They couldn't reproduce it.
I will have it checked for everything next week.
I'll let you know the outcome.

 

have had the same prob. with the gas door and what i found out was if i let go of the handle as soon as i hear the first click it dosent cycle.hope maybe this will help.solve one prob.

 

It will happen even if I am no longer touching the door at all.

 

Is anyone else having a major problem with the GPS voice recgonition? Spent a couple of hours today at the dealers. We have tried four different voices, and the addresses that come up are not even close to what we are saying...makes no difference car moving, standing still, A/C off or on..car was delivered eight days ago and voice has not ever worked.

 

They say you learn something new everyday. Thanks for the advice and since reading your reply, I have been using two hands with no issue. Also glad to say, no cracking as of yet.
Thanks again!!

 

My 2LT black leather seats look like they're delaminating. It seems like both driver and passenger seat leather is becoming separated from it's backing and starting to wrinkle/crease/peel all over the inserts. 13000 VIN, built in January.

 

Have same issue along with Volume button out. Dealer no help. Its completely out. Control thru steering wheel now. Let me know what your dealer finds. Thx, sgee.1

 

My s/n 21371 has had no issues and I have a very critical eye. Sorry to hear of all the early run issues but I have to say that with any very complex mechanical device many parts and systems have to work in harmony. I'm not surprised that there are early bugs. When you think of all of the integration it amazes me that they work as well as they do.
I am constantly amazed at the technological and mechanical advancement over my C6 and I would not go back!
Best of luck with the resolutions.

 

1. They claim that because of direct injection, the car needs to be driven harder once in a while due to carbon buildup
2. The rev matching just doesn't respond fast enough from 1-2 if the engine speed is over 3500 RPM in 1st gear. Nothing they can do.
3. There is a software update for the memory seat. Everyone should do this. They fixed my complaint but more importantly, they added an option in settings to have the seat move to the driving position after the engine is started. Something they should have always had.
4. I didn't get an answer back on the hill assist. I don't know if it is fixed.
5. They claim the software update fixed the camera problem.
6. It doesn't look like they did anything. It wasn't important anyway.

I highly recommend that anyone with the memory seat option go to the dealer and have the update installed.

 

Posted on another similar brake dust thread that the brake dust on our 2011 M3 is much worse than on our C7. We have the black wheels as well. Brake dust on cars like this is just part of the bargain right or wrong.

Yes, I think you do need to say more, and smiley less. What's a "rear back fas."
