THE Z is back home. The service dept had the car in the shop and were able to find that the BCM needed an update. Driving like new , as it should. I am almost to the 500 mile mark. Another 100 or so to go.

Well that didn't go so well. I got the dreaded transmission service warning. I was stuck on an off ramp for over an hour. It's been taken back to the dealer. Now i wait for it to be looked at in depth.

Looks like your wish was granted . On a serious note, sorry to hear. It's a shame this keeps happening & GM (Tadge & Co.) refuses to acknowledge the continued issues.
