Took delivery of my '22 on 12-15-21, had in my possession all of 45 minutes before returning to dealer. Severe engine misfire at slight acceleration around 1500 RPM. Was told fuel injector error on cylinder #6. Dealer drove for 2 days, couldn't get car to replicate problem, said whatever it was had cleared and car was operating properly. Went back to dealership and asked tech to accompany me on a drive, didn't get 200 yards down the road, same problem with misfire. Dealer ordered replacement fuel injector, out of stock and back-ordered with no information on lead time. Dealer gave me my money back, no issues, have first right of refusal to re-purchase once fuel injectors come available and car is 100% repaired.
that's great… if your first right of refusal price is the same as your initial purchase. I have a fear it could creep up with the market value premiums being applied by many dealers on the 'used' ones.

It is my understanding they made some tweaks in the DCT for the 2022 model. My ‘22 C8 is at the dealer. I am hopeful I can get her home on Christmas Eve so she tucked under the tree. Just waiting for a slow down in the much needed rain in California.
Raised bumps along front bumper and roof headliner piece

The minor bumps are there. I’ve noticed it on 3 other C8’s as well. Not sure what to do if it affects all C8’s. The bumps are on that piece in front of the removal roof as well.

Took delivery of my 22 Z-51 at end of October. There is a slight bump on the left rear quarter panel. You have to be in the correct light and position to see it but when I took it back to the dealer and showed it to the salesman he acknowledged he sees it also. Now a month later I am still waiting for an answer from the dealer. Not even able to get an answer to an email or phone call. Tuesday if I can't get through to the salesman I will contact the dealership owner. He is a sponsor of our Corvette club so gets a lot of business from our 300 plus members.
Prius Plug-in for mileage
GS for long trips like Alaska
Harley for Sunday rides with the wife
66 Mustang for slow rolls for ice cream with the grand child
C8 when the rain stops in the Bay Area and PCH runs

check your headliner (the piece in front of the removable top. Look at it in a low eye level and there’s ripples in the paint, the front bumper has it too.
Anybody else see this dash screen bug? Garbled cruise control indicator in the center of the speedometer.
It happened when engaging cruise control.
Looks like a bug in the graphics animation code.
Goes away when car is "rebooted".

Haven’t seen any bumps on my car. Be careful. After market paint is never as good as factory
Do you paint cars for a living? Did you know that GM built a new paint shop in Bowling Green that was completed in 2017 because of the bad factory paint jobs on the Corvette?
No I don’t paint cars it’s common knowledge, factory paint is on a virgin surface controlled by robotics, even coverage. That is unless you take the car to specialty shops like Dave Kindig in Salt Lake City. Then again those are show cars. Its your car.
