My car has performed flawlessly, with the exception; Chevrolet My Link started to drop functions. I was ready to trade the car, dealer discovered my iPhone had developed a corrupted pairing function (easily cured). I always cringe when new electronics have issues from the start. My experience has been that they never will work properly. I have gotten rid of the offending electronic equipment right away. I would seriously discuss acquiring another car with the selling dealer.

Wow!! Were you underway or was the car sitting still? Demolished or is the vehicle repairable? I assume GM plans on a replacement car.

I was doing about 30 mph in 3rd gear going to turn right. The parking brake icon (yellow with wrench) came on. i shifted into netual, the vette rolled, I did not have the parking brake on. Then the check engine ligh came on. The VETTE filled up with smoke, I put the windows down, all hell broke loose! P.S. I do not know how to post pics. Geezer status!

Dave Peterson is the owner of BRYNER CHEV. One great guy, the VETTE is at the dealership. The delievery day was 4/18/15, I had the car for 1 week. It is /was nicer than any CADDY we ever had. P. S. the VETTE did not roll over, I thought I might have left the parking brake on. I did not the VETTE moved (rolled) on its own.
