Sorry to hear this. I wonder how much that unlocking tool is? Hopefully there will be an easy and permanent fix for your issue.

Ed sorry to hear about you car. Our friend Bob D. had two trees blew down on his house. One went through his roof and another through the side of his garage. Big mess!!!

Well that sucks. Hopefully they can work out your issues. My C7 Z06 was in the shop for over 2 months over a 2 year period so I feel for you. Was near doing a lemon law however GM got involved directly and they finally fixed everything so hopefully that will be the case for you as well.

GM doesn't HAVE enough qualified specialty engineers to visit all of these cars. It's several posting daily. Chalking this up to completely brand new everything. Electronic architecture, Trans, layout etc. Sprinkle in a strike and some covid 19? Perfect storm of a crap shoot purchase. These cars are 50/50 when everything is running smoothly. They don't need help to have issues. That's for damn sure.

It isn't just corvette. Its plenty of mfr and models. I know the running joke about Tesla's but GM is not far behind. Just picked up a new 70k Cadillac for the wife and I haven't had it for a week. Idk why I stay with this company? I honestly don't.

OP. Best of luck.

You should have them swap the valve springs while it's there and get that over with as well!

Boy this is getting ridiculous. I think they are so behind in production they are just slinging them together now.
