Default Zero Issues So Far

For anyone who is interested, I just reached the 1,000 mile mark on my 2015 Z-51 and have had zero issues so far.
The fit and finish were perfect, and I have had no mechanical issues or glitches.
My first oil change went off without a hitch, filled with Mobil 1 with no fuss, no charge.
This is my 3rd Corvette, and it has been the same story for each one, I'm a 100% satisfied Corvette customer 3 for 3.
I just received my interior matching gift bag, which I thought was a nice touch, thanks G.M., however I have have not received a customer satisfaction survey so far.

5000 miles and 2 months old and no issues. C6 and C5 I had in the past were different stories though.

Glad to hear, especially after reading some of the issues people have experienced. Puts it all in perspective.

70K sold(ballpark) and maybe 20 people on here with legit issues. I'm thinking the vast majority of owners are very happy with the C7, including me.

4000 miles and only issues were defective LED tail ( replaced) and recently a software update to fix (hopefully) a backup camera that wouldnt shut off.

One year, 3,000 miles. I had three issues; leather on seat back delaminated, seat backs were replaced, recall - fuel filler anti siphon screen, parking brake nut replaced. I had problems with Chevrolet MyLink loosing functions which turned out to be my iPhone's Bluetooth connection. Otherwise good, 2014 vin #22487.

After 1,000 miles, got the creaking roof panel. Bought some silicone spray for the gaskets and dielectric grease for the hinges which should solve the problem. Also, the was a minor defect in the leather driver's seat. Dealer replaced the seat cover but scratched the door trim in the process, so the trim pieces had to be replaced. And "Favorites" buttons on steering wheel never worked. The fix was to reset the computer. Still fairly satisfied with Chevy's quality control. These are very complicated machines.

I don't know if I have an issue, however the last three times I took it out for a 20+ mile drive, divided between a 75 mph freeway and 45 mph roads, I hear a whine-like sound coming from the engine at the end of the run. It increases/decreases with rpm's. This is new, and just began this week. I've ruled out the A/C.
The car is a '15 'base' M7 Coupe with 1100 miles on it.
