Default Goodbye All

After a rear differential change and 2 torque converters within 19000 miles its sad to say goodbye to everyone but I finally sold my 2019 C7. Was starting to have the shudder issue come up again and I just couldn't take it any longer. Don't know what's wrong with Chevy lately but they don't seem to want to fix these ongoing issues that they've known about for years. Thought that by buying an end of the run model all previous issues would be taken cared of, I guess I was wrong. Beautiful car but like they say, can't get along with looks alone.

Want to thank everyone for all the troubleshooting help throughout the years and all the useful info. on the site. Definitely one of the best forums out there. Thanks again.

Sorry for your problems, unfortunately sounds like you may have gotten a lemon. I have owned Vette's for most of the last 45 years and except for my first have all been very reliable. Having problems and the dealer or dealers either unable or unconcerned enough to fix it right can certainly get old in a hurry. Best of luck with what you get in the future.

Can not fault you for moving on, I certainly would do the same given the quality issues you have had.

Sorry to hear about all the problems you experienced with your C7. I can understand your disappointment and frustration not only with the car, but with the inability of GM to fix the car properly. Hopefully over time you will come to think that while you certainly had a problem-prone car, the majority of C7s were quite reliable and are a hoot to drive and own.

I have heard of people buying the first year of the series and gotten a lemon and some have gotten a winner. I think somedays it just happens to be your turn in the barrel.

Most late model Corvettes are actually pretty reliable cars

I can understand your reasoning in going with a Toyota truck after your being saddled with a lemon for 4 years. I have two of them and neither have ever been back to the dealer including my getting 415,000 trouble-free out of the 96.

But if you place the "U" between the "T" and "R"?

I add my sympathies to all the problems, which you attempted to deal with before deciding and, if dependability is (understandably) front and center, there is no better than TOYOTA (three Prius' and two RAV 4's including our current '21 RAV XSE Hybrid). You might miss the sportiness of driving but you can return to that at a later date. Enjoy and take care.............
