Dash not changing between modes
Well mine was an operator error. In the options, display design, if it is "linked" the dash will change with the modes. If you select tour, sport, track, etc., it will stay on that dash regardless of mode selected. As for my tire pressures not showing you have to select it under options, infotainment.

Got the C8 out of the shop yesterday. Absolutely beautiful work done on it. I just saw the C8 accident photos at the dragon tail road near Knoxville. A lot of damage to our guy but at least the offender stopped. The guy that hit me in the turn did not! Of course, maybe that Miata couldn’t leave the scene.

2020 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
The mechanical button under the radio **** doesn't work but the icon on the TFT screen does. But there is no "home icon" in Apple car play so once I get into Car play mode, I can't get out.

Catching up on personal and business items. However if you post a list of items you want added to the PDI SS, I'd be glad to add them. I still have my copy. Btw, I didn't originate that list, I just cleaned it up into a SS format. It is not a direct problem list SS so to speak, but it does include ATF items to watch for.

From some unknown reason I haven't been receiving email notifications for issues/problems the C8 in a long time. So can someone please update me has GM solved most/all the initial issues/problems?

C8 Stalling and Hesitating
Had a problem with new C8 yesterday with only 495 miles and six weeks old. Car started hesitating after pulling out of parking lot and would barely accelerate and was not running smoothly and stalled at light. It did start up again thankfully. Check engine light came on and luckily was close to home. There was a burning smell too and side fans ran a few minutes. Had to have car towed to Dealer and waiting for their report. Am not feeling very favorable and wish I’d waited a year. I’ve had several Vettes on major body change years and never had anything like this happen. Anyone experience anything similar?
