Update
Not to belittle your experience and I'd be just as furious but when does the "next season" of the sage begin? I'm dying to know what happened and if GM did the right thing. Or - did you settle and sign a NDA?

I wouldn't buy an air freshener from RK, had real bad experience with awhile back.
Instead of Lemon Law talk to General Motors about a "substitution of collateral" for your Corvette. I went down this road with BMW North America and it all worked out for the best in the end.
Good Luck Steve

I pushed BMW on it and ended getting a newer model due to a chassis change at no extra cost. They do a collateral swap on the loan and you're in business. I played the hand that I drive my children to school in this vehicle and I have no way of knowing the extent of damage thereby questioning the safety of the vehicle.
You are in a tough spot because it's all the dealers fault and really has little to do with GM...

Sorry it took so long to update this, it basically took a year for a lawyer to resolve the issue, as stated previously Mall Chevy in Cherry Hill NJ was wonderful and completely fixed my car before the settlement.

Op:
Dang, dude! Is there a black cloud that follows you AND your C7s around?!
Holy cr@p! Peyton Place with your C7s covering over 4 years!

I read through this entire thread last night as I am the new owner of a C7. Man that just sucks. Funny I didn't see anything like this before I bought the car and now I've seen a few horror stories. So what was the end result as far as what was actually wrong with your gear box? Was it a simple linkage adjustment? Was it the threat of legal action that got it resolved? Inquiring minds want to know.

the fix was to have the entire rear suspension assembly torqued and replace all of the missing bolts plus realign the shifter linkage. Unfortunately all of this took months because of all of the back and forth. Again the final dealership Mall Chevy did an excellent job of correcting all of the issues.
GM settled with my attorney for the problems.

What was your total out of pocket for legal fees and car repairs, if any? Or, were you completely made whole?

I commend you on taking them to task and getting what was rightfully yours. It's almost not surprising that this kind of thing can happen in todays world of "nobody gives a ****"
As much as taking them to court was a PITA you did the right thing by lawyering up and bringing down the hammer. I would have done the same thing although they would probably have to buy a new entrance to their dealership as there would have been a new Corvette that got in their showroom the hard way. Unbelievable and yet sadly not.
