2015 C7 of Year Finalist

Default 2014 Stingray - Quarantia Edition

All cars stuck at the Nashville Yard should officially be labeled:

"QUARANTINA EDITION"

(sorry I misspelled Quarantina in the Title - noticed it after the fact)

I think you are right. Lets say there is a problem with the e-diff or transmission that would require significant parts to be removed. You would not do this at the plant with anything but a handful of cars. It makes more sense to get the cars out of the plant where they can be worked on without impacting production. You have to keep the line running.

^^^^^^^^^^
I was really hoping YOU would get a chuckle out of it. I don't blame you for how you feel, but what a blessing to have such problems.

To an extent. My 05'coupe was the best-built cat I've ever owned. (out of 50+). No issues even though the car was modded big-time. My 07'Z has been problematic to this day and they still have problems diagnosing and fixing it.

Wow, VINs are getting higher. I have a feeling that the high VINs are random checks.

What's your options on 1514?

As Wildvettes mentioned, you got the generic response. Your car is probably not in Nashville and won't go there.

I don't get all the angst...Of course I'd rather have QC in BG pass it A+
but it there is a problem, I'd much rather have it fixed before it is shipped to my dealer so that I won't have to waste my time taking it in for warranty repairs...

I hope you are right. I call the chat line every day and I emailed Gm Sat. and the reponse I got was, We have shipped a number of Corvettes to the national rail head in Nashville for a final quality review of each car prior to being shipped to dealers. This final review is part of our standard procedures for a launch. Once the review for each vehicle is completed the vehicle will be shipped from Nasville to the dealer. This is a direct quote from GM. Here is the EMAIL address I used. faq@chevrolet.com. Will you guys out there email GM and see what response you get.

I visited a dealer today to look at two C7's waiting for their new owners. IMO (Very Picky/OCD) both cars still had some cosmetic issues that should have been addressed before leaving the plant. Both cars had spacing gap issues between the fender and hood. The silver car had a 2 1/2 inch paint drip in the upper rear fender on the panels edge next to the rear fin. It wasn't bad but it would have driven me crazy, some buyers would have never noticed. Both cars had an MSRP over 70k with glass roofs, no carbon-fiber roofs, 3LT & Z51 packages. Launch addition cars from any manufacture usually have minor issues that can be easily fixed. GM being focused on quality issues before shipping is a good thing.

Been there, done that. You are fine. That is a cut and paste response they are sending to everyone in order to "quell the paranoia"

As you can see, it is clearly working as planned.
