Ac musty smell, fixed ac drain.
Defective tire pressure sensor.
I think there is more, although I need to look up to find the rest.
Hi cflm,

Sorry to read about all the issues you have been having! Do you have a case number with Customer Care? I would like to review your case. Will you please private message me that number or your VIN please? Thanks,

Got my 2009 18 months ago with just over 4K now it has 24K. Mine is meant to be driven not sit in a garage since I'm a driver not a collector.

2010. Bought it two weeks ago with 1900 miles on it...already sitting at 2700 miles.

This car was meant to be driven.

Love driving mine too, but there are certain days where the garage is a better option.

Sadly, some of us don't benefit from year round driving.

I can completely understand that. The car does not drive well in snow and is not safe in snow or ice. I don't understand keeping it in the garage and driving 1,000 mile a year or less. I also don't understand not driving because it might get wet. As long as its not a collector car, it will not melt. It gets dirty and you wash it. It's a stress reliever to take the time to detail the car. Wishing many miles and smiles.

The wear difference would be huge even though they have the same mileage.
A very cool feature of the C7 is that the computer logs total engine revolutions and hours in addition to miles. This should address the above question.

My 2011 SuperSonic ZR1 has 10,000 miles.
