aenigma Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 It continues! I don’t know if I previously mentioned this, but GM paid me $10,000 awhile back this year. I still had the transmission issue. Last week I took it to AutoNation in Mesa after speaking with them on the phone. They have given me top notch service from the time I walked in. They brought their transmission specialist up to talk with me, along with a couple other mechanics. They gave me a loaner - eek it’s awful. My advisor called me two days ago and said it took them a few days to diagnose but they can clearly see it’s not right. They are pulling the transmission next week. Finally a service department that is willing to deal with GM’s nonsense. It seems like I’ll be able to keep my car after all. I wouldn’t give 2 cents for service at Van’s or Chapman. I’ll be using AutoNation in Mesa exclusively from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackC6 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Mo, Auto Nation Chevrolet in Mesa is where I bought my Camaro. I won't shop anyplace else. The purchase was awesome and their service department is the best in the valley as far as I'm concerned. Anthony is my service advisor and he's great. I think if anyone can figure out the issue with your car, it's them. Good luck and keep us posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re awesome. Big shout out to them and their customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertdawg Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Bought my 17 duramax from autonatiin on Bell out west. They treated me right and put up with me for over 3 months to get me in what I wanted for what I wanted to pay. Ive had it serviced there and they took care of me just fine.

aenigma Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 I picked up my car TONIGHT with a brand new transmission. My saga finally ends! 25 days in a generic white car that can’t go fast and shuts off when the car stops was enough to last a lifetime. 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel your pain on that temporary ride. I had a rental like that. The first day I wanted to set it on fire and push it off a cliff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aenigma Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 The rear end started whining on the way to Peoria yesterday. I had to turn on music to drown it out. Here we go again. Why can’t I afford a Lamborghini? It would be so much better. 😂 I think I’m going to use my 77 for Vette functions or we’ll use Lonnies vette and I’ll buy something more reliable for my daily driver. I gave it a shot and it’s just not working out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCMSH Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I was really hoping a thread basically dedicated entirely to your rear end would be way sexier than this has been Ima sorry Mo, this just sucks to hear about again. I’ve heard of folks unhappy with their C7’s stepping back into the C6 world. Probably get a decent deal on a lower mileage 2013 Grand Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn’t thought of that option. Possibly a c6 with an extended warranty because I’m a bit gun shy at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wharf Rat Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 For the cost of a C7 you could pick up about a half dozen C4s and more than likely at least one of them would be in running condition on any given day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aenigma Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 The ole Vette went back in Thursday. The transmission light went on last month and then off after a couple days. Wednesday back on and not coming off. I figured it was time since the new transmission was running so bad, since the rear end whines past 65 mph, since I had a napkin wadded up in the ceiling latch to keep it from rattling all the time and making me crazy, since the cup holder latch was broke, since the steering had a recall. I’m starting to love the Malibu loaner drive and feel 😂 My service tech was adamant about no 2020 Vette purchase. He said they haven’t even figured out the wiring issue and that car is going to be a mechanical problem. As I’m in his service bay with my nothing-but-problem. Autonation in Mesa is awesome. I started looking at other cars but once again, all coupes look alike which is why I have a vette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixAddict Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Bad news for sure Mo, best of luck with repair. Actually that Autonation is where I bought my vette in 2015. They were very easy to deal with. I wonder if the C8 will have the bent /cracked wheel problems the wide body C7's are having, along with power steering recall, as reported on the corvette forum...... Again best of luck with your C7.

Oh no. I had no idea about the wheel problems. I’m sure GM isn’t acknowledging it as usual. I knew about the recall so I threw it in with my list since they had my car anyway.

aenigma Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 The tech just called. The whining is actually the AC compressor going out. The motor mounts are bad. The transmission harness wire is bad. How does a motor mount go bad in 24k miles.... wtf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Ape Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Sorry to hear about that car in the shop again. Maybe if'n ya quit beatin' on it, it might last a while...🤔Good luck with it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
