Default 2023 c8 round 2

My 2023 C8 Coupe is in the shop once again! This time the new motor after 700 miles popped an engine light on me at startup. P00C6. Took it in to dealer on Thursday and I was told Friday that the tech was on the phone with GM engineer to go over the issue. From what I’m being told it’s a problem with the high pressure fuel pump.

I must have gotten the lucky draw when I bought this car! (Sarcasm!). This is strike 2 one more and she’s out! I hope Lemon Law is not in my future, but a car this expensive and this unreliable isn’t going to work for me.

Hope you get it worked out and the car performs the way it should for many, many years!

Default In tank fuel pump

Turns out she needs an in tank fuel pump. Now for the bad news! It’s on national back order.

picked her up on Saturday and installed the rear spoiler. Started her up Sunday to go refill tank and she started acting up again. Once I got home I tried cranking her over and she threw another engine light. Same code. Also notice an annoying crackling sound coming from on top of the dash. Dropped her off at dealership this morning.

If you're still considering Lemon Law, research the requirements and consider keeping any needed documentation together for a potential claim

I rather keep it and just have them fix whatever goes bad. It has a 10 year extended warranty.
