How many trips back to the dealership have you made for issues?
Vin #1506
Picked up car 10-01-13
Have been back four times.
Low Diff fluid.
Dash going dim at dusk.
Passenger window tore off the weather-stripping during first time used.
Seats that no longer cool.
Surely someone has been back more than four times?

I have had nothing to even contact the dealer about. Zero. Actually, I'm rather impressed by that as I wasn't expecting it. Over 3400 miles now in just 3 months of ownership and 2 long cross country drives.
Don't ask me about Ferrari....
Here's another shocker.
I travel a lot. I have to leave the car alone without the trickle charger for over 3 weeks at times. I get back and the car starts perfectly.

Luck of the draw I guess. But if you were in my shoes I think you might think it's getting a little old.
Now do I still think the car is awesome not only yes but hell yes!
Count your good fortunes!

VIN 11822. 2 months in my possession and 2500 miles.
Once for door alignment before I understood the door/rocker panel setback is normal. Otherwise, nothing

I know everyone at my dealership by name and I have my service manager's mobile number. Telling you that is a lot easier than trying to figure out how many times I've taking my C7 in. I'm actually waiting for an appointment right now so they can fix a squeak that has developed.

aforand, you have an early VIN and several of your issues have already been resolved and do not appear in later builds.
I've got 1500+ miles on mine (VIN 13194) and I have had zero issues, zero trips to dealer.

Scraping the splitter.
While my car hasn't been back to the dealer, I realized at Daytona that I could not access my PTM menu, so it will go in the next month or so and also get whatever updates are due (regarding the HVAC and screen brightness I believe).
