Default Electrical Gremlins

Been having some gremlins. Not always sure if it's me or the car on some of these.

First one was the memory seat. Once it forgot. No problem since.

GPS in and out. Reprogrammed PDR when I took it in for the first oil change. So far it's fixed.

E-Brake always automatically released if I tried to drive. Now it's intermittent.

Programmed the auto door locks to OFF.
They still lock after driving.

Car is running great. Having a blast.
Check out the new shoes. Lowered but won't go down Z07.

The other day she would not start. Had to place the fob in the steering column slot and she started. Hasn't happened since. Still having the intermittent E-Brake not automatically releasing. I think the computer is slower than the Apollo 13 luner lander cause I did notice if I wait for the system to finish "booting" up the e-brake releases. Must be using Windows Vista LOL.

I'm thinking we need to not just jump in and start the car and take off. Wait and let it boot up for 20 seconds or so.

GPS dropping out was fixed for good when they updated the PDR software during the first oil change. Never loses GPS now.

Only 700 miles------LOVE the car and its performance-----memory seat function just doesn't want to work. Had it 'almost' working for about a week------to get it to 'work' during this week I 1st had to move the seat up a half inch or so THEN push the '1' button.

Then my daughter programmed her FOB (2nd fob) last week, and it hasn't been the same since. Turned it off in the settings for a few days, and haven't been able to get it to work right (or close to right) since. However, at least now the seats don't move all the way forward on their own while driving my knees into the dash when I start the car as it was doing for a week.

For awhile the seats and steering wheel would work fine, but the side mirrors wouldn't work as set. Think everything worked together just fine for about 10 starts and exits, and that has been it...................

I can't tell you the odd things I have been experiencing with my C7. Been going on for a few months and just have not had the time. Figured before I go to the dealer for a reflash I'd disconnect the battery. Did that left it off for 30 minutes........it's bee only 3 days but all seems well.

May want to try that. With all these computers it just takes one little hiccup to get things out of sync.
