Default 2015 Auto reliability

How's everyone's experience with the auto in the first years? Should that be a deal breaker? 43,000 miles and I am not trying to have this thing go down in 2 years haha.

Default Well mission accepted?

Got the dealer to throw in a Triple Flush / Mobil 1 at the next door Leith GM during the next service. So time will tell, but yall eased my concerns enough to skip the Mopar and just go for the C7. Thanks for the help thus far. And apologies in advance, Double Corneal transplants and subsequent surgeries left quite a bit of scar tissue. My going on this little thing is NOT the greatest. So ill do my best to proofread myself buy instinctively but send rapidly lol

Default Thanks everyone

So after some relatively easy negotiation, and between my bumper.com, beenverified, and then some help from a friend, their carfax, and the paper copies i got from the previous owner we pieced together a good history. We weren't able to "prove" beyond a shadow of a doubt that the trans flush record was a triple so they included one (triple flush and mobil1) at the gm dealer by my house. (Bought from Leith Audi) . So 3 full days of C7 ownership complete . Life threw a curve ball Saturday morning when I lost my oldest friend here in NC. But like I akways do, ill survive, and am glad to be here. Again- thanks fellas. Ill be more active soon but have this loss to deal with. So until then!

Congratulations on your new C7!

Sorry to hear about your friend.

Once you get past the "curveball," come back, join us, and tell us all about your new ride (and add some photos).

Hi and welcome here. Sorry to hear about your friend. I lived in NC for awhile and used to drive by a Leith Audi dealership in Cary. I really liked it down there. Beautiful area. I have a 2016 Z51 automatic with a little over 11600 miles on it. I too haven’t had a triple flush done to it yet. I plan on doing it in the spring. I’m up north now so mine's pretty much in hibernation right now. I am not sure if you read up on it or not but many people advise getting an others Range Device or a tuner so you prevent the 8 cylinders from kicking down to 4 cylinders. Nobody seems to be able to say for sure if this alleviates transmission problems and lifter problems but many believe it does. Might be something to read up on. I got a Range Device but didn’t plug it in yet. I have been using the paddle shifters so far instead. What color is your car?

Many of us here would recommend the Range AFM/DFM Disabler.
