They can demand whatever they want. Don't expect GM to say anything. Not even "sorry for the delay."

Getrag hasn't assembled a single one of the C8's transaxles.

How do you check when your car was built? Or can you narrow it to a specific day at all? Mine is a 2024 and simply says 9/23 on the gray sticker. VIN number ends at 1672. 9/23 covers a lot of ground. I only know the dealer where I bought it Oct 28th said it was delivered to them week of Oct 14th.

You're just full of 'You don't know what the **** you're talking abouts' today.

Bowling Green Story

Note the reference to computer problems as a reason sending C8's to Michigan.

Anyone heard this rumor before?

That is interesting. The only official word from GM I'm aware of that was shared with dealers is that the cars were sent to MI to perform "updates" that couldn't be performed at the factory.

Oops Tremec

Red Mist Rulz

Oh, the pot calling the kettle black. Getrag doesn't build the DCTS, Tremec does. Try again.

And GM never admits fault unless a court orders them to. GM hasn't said squat about any of these issues, and never will.

And if you really wouldn't be pissed about the car you ordered disappearing for months, you're stupider than you sound.

Another loser for my ignore list.

Agreed. My local dealer didn’t even ask for a deposit. I paid in full for my C8 when I picked it up at the dealership 3 months after ordering it.

BearZ06

Same for me.

Hasn't GM been building/assembling these in-house now since 2022? And you're 100% correct that GM never admits fault. In fact they go above and beyond to get out of taking responsibility for anything that's wrong with their vehicles.

BCM. Is it the battery control module? I'd really guess it's the body control module. It's one of the major, or the major, computer modules in the car.

Go to 6:18 for the BCM discussion.


When one of the many modules, in the video, fails 20 years from now, are you going to be able to buy a replacement?

Hope they fix whatever clip they broke here lol

Word on the street from a trusted friend in the business in Detroit is it is DCT related.

Seems likely with the problems we’re seeing.

I won’t be around to find out. So I’m just gonna enjoy it while I can.

tadda

Don't care..

I only hold onto my new sports cars for only a few years and then it's onto the next...

JABCAT

You won't have to wait 20 years. The last C6 rolled out of BG 10 years ago and there is a long list of parts no longer available including several modules. If this is your forever car, stock up on extras

That's a center console mount tab that they broke off instead of removing the attaching bolt that's still there. If it won't come apart, pull on it until it does. Next up, why is there a rattle in my center console, damn GM.

What an interesting thread. Interesting that customers are paying for the car, getting it titled, registered and tagged before it is delivered to the dealer. What is the timeline for that? I notice that some forum members say they got a VIN at 3400 (https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-assigned.html), even though the car does not yet exist. Its built at 3800, and I think that is when the dealer is invoiced for it(according to a later post, 4150 indicates it has been invoiced). But when is ownership transferred to the dealer? Are customers getting registered before 3800? And, what exactly establishes the path of ownership (apparently not the same as the path of possession). Prior to being titled, what shows that GM owns it? I have also read, but do not know if it is true, that when the car is loaded on the Jack Cooper truck for delivery to a dealer, there is some exchange that makes the truck company responsible? A dealer gets invoiced, and eventually they actually pay for the car, but what documentation actually establishes transfer of ownership from GM to the dealer. Does the dealer even have a title for new cars on its floor? Interesting that ownership can be transferred from a dealer to a customer when its not clear that it was ever transferred from GM to the dealer. A title ostensibly establishes ownership of a car, but this thread has me wondering about its validity - when it seems possible to title a car that was not delivered, and possibly does not even exist. The whole thing seems murky to me.

As for GMs response:

It also seems that GM has responded, at least in one case, saying, according a post above "“We are leveraging trusted suppliers to prepare a small amount of vehicles for delivery”. And they had no ETA. This suggests that the issue is a part of parts (suppliers was plural), and that the parts and/or the suppliers of those parts have some role in preparing the car for delivery, and they do not know how long it will take at this time. So GM has responded. They have essentially said (in different words) "we experienced an issue during assembly/quality control process and that we are taking care of it at this location." The production code 4150 (pulled for quality control) also seems to acknowledge that. They are not giving an ETA because the likely do not know.



These are potential reasons for the quality control hold - offered in various posts - GM has not stated a reason. What would change if they stated on of these as the reason. By the way, weren't there some new cars on the BG lot that were scrapped due to tornado damage? Were any of those sold, titled, registered, etc.? What happened in that case?
