Same thing just happened to me last night. Had it towed to the Dealer this morning. What was the outcome? I did not have a scan tool to read the codes. Called OnStar and they gave me a P0300 misfire. No specifics on which cylinders. Has to be more than one as it barely ran.
Mine is a 2015 Z51 M7

I guess I will have to wait till at least Tuesday 9/6 or later. As my Service Writer said it may take them a couple of days to diagnose once they get it in on Tuesday! Yea, a week after bringing it in. If I told one of my customers that (I have been in the Computer Service business for over 20 years) I would be out of business. Sorry to rant.

Awe you good man don't be sorry. I was the same way I turned Eco mode on once.. I think it was cylinder 7.. Hopefully it don't take them long to start looking into it.. Hey at least u not in my shoes now lol I blew the motor on Mother's Day.. Piston exploded and went through the block
QUOTE=mike96ss;1592972514]Thanks for the reply on your issue. Would you happen to remember which cylinder it was? I am curious if it was one of the AFM (1,7,6,4) lifters. Since I have a M7 I have only activated AFM (Eco mode) like twice for maybe 10 miles.

Without rehashing my continuing problem, hope you have better luck than me. Mine started at 50 miles on #8, in shop 2 weeks. 600 miles later in shop with 3 and 8 misfiring. Been there 2 and half weeks and counting. They can't find the cause.

I think we are all on a wing and a prayer. The C7 was supposed to be the best Corvette yet. But if it isn't a miss fire or a torque tube or leaky shocks or warbble noises or blown engines or A8 tranny problems what else could go wrong. Just visit dealers that sell Corvettes there are more 2014 used vettes available than meets the eye. That should tell you something. I love my 2016 as you all do, but I 'm holding my breath day by day. I think it might boil down to who can supple build parts the cheapest regardless of quality. One of the car magazine I read, ( sorry don't remember exactly which one) stated that it was the most troublesome car they ever tested. Lets just keep our fingers crossed.
