Took delivery today but....It had to go back already
Drove the car about 20 miles then the check engine light came, started shaking really bad. Took it to the dealer and they say cylinder 5 is misfiring. I hope it isnt anything serious and I can get it back soon. The day went from yay to s**t really fast.

We continue to loose long time members of this forum who have contributed so much over the years.
The name calling, fowl language, and bickering causes many, like myself, to spend less time here because it is becoming less enjoyable to visit.
What started out as an interesting read became ugly.
I feel sorry for the OP as his thread was trashed and he was totally disrespected by so many who posted here.
Please grow up or go away so those of us who enjoyed this forum in the past can do so again.

Oh man that stinks. Wait so long and I know how excited you must have been to finally get it. I hope it's something they can fix with an update or something without having to do real work on the engine. I just got mine last weekend and so far so good (think i'm at 106 miles) There's been a fair share of problems with ppl's rides so hope for the best. Good luck!

This happened on some of the early C7s, and it was typically just a bad or loose spark plug.

Plug, wire, or coil, all easy access from underneath. Should be fixed in short order.

They just delivered a loaner, still do not know what is wrong with it. Can I refuse it? I mean who wants to buy a car that expensive and have it break down with less than 30 miles on the odometer

See what's wrong first. Could be simple. Even if it's not, there is a warranty and it'll get fixed. Just bad luck.

But it first let the dealer troubleshoot. It could be something simple. If it needs a new engine then that is another story.

Don't panic - I had an issue with my 1980 truck when new- 60 miles , Alt and Water pump issue - dealer had to replace items... it now has 480k miles and I have it 41 years = been the best truck I ever had.
hope it's an easy fix ,,,,

Some dealers have a "right to return policy" for a limited time, usually on used cars, and in one State you can buy a return policy on a used car. There is no State that has a law allowing the return of a new car under normal circumstances. A warranty problem would be normal circumstances.

The Chevy dealer in Mass where I have bought two vehicles from have a similar policy

Probably the steering wheel bolt not torqued to spec. Trust me.

Seems like EVERYDAY something happens to these cars. Maybe waiting 2 years from now is the best thing to do

Corvettes don't seem to favor cars after the first year or two
