The Grand Sport has been back once to have the camber set to low end on the broad GM spec. Came with 4 wheels ranging from -1.4 to -1.7 and left with all at the low end of the spec, -0.6 to -0.8. I don't track and wanted best tire wear possible. Done at 400 miles on Warranty.

That bass thing was a strange post! Apparently if you play your sound system very loud the door panels vibrate! Just image your ear drums!

At first I thought they were talking about "fish," so instantly thought of the two biggest I caught off my dock!




That is a Large Mouth Bass; 12 lbs



Caught Two Years Ago; 11 1/2 lbs, Scale in Hand. She Went Back In! Both Caught From My Dock - Over 5 Years part. Note ultra light spinning rod/reel on ground to right of pic. Use 10 lb test as most fish caught are only ~2/3 lbs!
Nice catch!

I love mine!

Over 70,000 miles. Has it been trouble free? No, but what car with this milage is? All problems have been fixed with warranty.

So, no, you aren't the only one happy with yours.

2017 Grand Sport. Took delivery March 25, 2017. Current mileage, 3200. Issues to date: causes a permanent $h!t eating grin when driving it.

My 4th Corvette and my first brand new one. Simply an amazing machine.

Sorry I am not as happy as you guys. My 2018 has issues that started at 700 miles. It now has 3,400 miles and its been to the dealer 3 times to read and clear codes, verifying there is an issue. On the other hand, my 17 had no issues at 7500 miles.

When it gets hot the service parking brake light comes on, rear axle system shuts off, it looses communication to several control modules and stability control no longer works. No big deal, I am sure we'll get it sorted out.

Always happy to see these posts, Had mine since Feb 16 and although I don't drive it daily, I take the train to work, I can't wait to jump in it and go every weekend. So far it's been perfect. Puts a smile on my face every time!

Sounds like a sensor problem.
Go to another dealer who will actually check the electrical system.
