I would do the repair now because GM can pull their offer of goodwill help on the repair...I was told my offer was only good now as my car had low mileage on it so you might go ahead and bite the bullet on the repair now to get any GM help on the repair. On the other hand, you could not repair it and discount your car for the dash problem but I think when you sell it anyone looking at your car will want the dash repaired. Anyways, I think GM should correct this issue with the leather dash they are installing in the Corvettes since they know 3LT dash’s apparently have this problem and it usually shows up AFTER the basic warranty on the cars has expired.

2017 Grandsport 3 lt 5000 miles. Haven’t been to dealership yet

From what I read about the dealer repairs for the dash issue and just my opinion, it appears that this issue has come up many times over the years at various dealerships. The dealer service departments and GM may have built in that $1,000 “make the customer feel good” into the actual costs and there is no real deal when the service department says “GM is going to eat $1,000 of the cost.” Could be GM is just trying to avoid a class action for a forced recall, when it’s known by Chevy before the car leaves the factory that there is an issue with the leather dash. Or maybe in reality, the issue is only with a small number of cars. Not sure, but it’s wrong all around for GM not to address the costs to the customer. One can only hope at some point the issue is addressed before the corvette leaves the factory.

Mary Bara said, no more crappy cars, apparently that doesn’t mean interiors. GM is going back to their pre-bankruptcy days, where they cut costs on the interiors to save money. Just look at the new trucks, their stuck with the same outdated, cheap interiors as the previous generation. This isn’t just a Corvette issue, it’s the entire GM line-up. Review after review criticize GM for their cheap interiors, yet they are blind to the fact, just so they can save a few dollars.
