Agree: Love my C7 but do bring up issues and try to bring viable solutions:
The Hatch Will Not Latch: First Close the hatch, then the door!
The Tires “Chatter” When Cold: When below ~40F don’t use full lock when turning sharply at slow speeds, make K turn if needed!
The Seat Recall with Std Shift is Cumbersome: I learned to use a finger on my left hand to push and hold the recall button while at the same time I use my right to buckle the Seat belt. Multitask (which my wife complains I don’t do) and it’s faster!
In most cases forum comments with fixes or workarounds are far better than the Dealer or GM’s comments, like, “It’s Normal.”

I try to help the owners with problems. When I have a problem, try to document what was discovered and the final solution. I try not to complain, that my friends can be hard to accomplish.
