C7 Engine failure

[US MARINE VET]

I bought a new 2016 Corvette Stingray LT1, and soon after experienced transmission issues. . I was told that there was a problem with the transmission flex plate. . A few days later I picked up my car and was told the problem was fixed. A few days went by and as I pulled on to my home street the Automatic transmission would not go out of third gear luckily I was at my driveway when this occurred. As I pulled half way up my driveway the car completed shutoff. I placed it in park and push the start button and started smelling burnt wires. I had it towed back to the dealer and the engine is out of the car and completely torn apart. The transmission, torque tube, are also out of the car. I am then told that it needs a new engine by the service manager. Car has less than 7K miles on it. I asked what is causing the problem and he has no answer for me.

That really sucks, I hope they find out why and that they can fix it to your satisfaction.

Engine Failure

If you bought it there tell them they can have the car. GM must replace your car with a new one.
No going forward on this. No excuse for this to happen. That car will never be the same. Get a good attorney that works for consumers. This is on GM.

If you're thinking of the lemon law, it won't apply as yet.

nope not lemon law

This isn't a lemon law situation this is take this piece of crap away and replace it law.

Contact your state Attorney General. Lemon Laws differ by state. Someone in the office will be able to help you know when to start the process.

Update?

C7 Engine FAILURE and payments

Update?

I guess if you are paying payments you might not be able to "just say replace the car" like I said. Although it really comes down to who gets screwed. The bank(or whomever), the dealer(although they rarely lose), or the payer. I think I know who ultimately loses. Doesn't GM just say "fix it, its under warranty" Very bad situation. I could never be comfortable with that car again. Sometimes emotions run higher than the pocket book.

As anyone knows, replacing the engine removes all numbers matching..

Where is that covered under the warranty or lemon law legislation?

C7 Engine Failure/ What broke Moter

Where is that covered under the warranty or lemon law legislation?

How much does that engine cost to replace it 20,000?

 

[Cruza]

I'm sorry you have to go though something like this!! :W

 

[Sweet Fleet]

Terrible!

It reflects badly on the OP to see that he never returned to provide an update. Seems that GM made good and he's driving a new Corvette. CAC was just one of several Corvette sites he bombarded with a one sided story.

True, but what would be the other side of a shelled motor and sucky dealer response?

 

[Vettehead Mikey]

That's just his side of the story. What's the other side? (Hint- read the whole story over on CF)

Machines break. That's why there's a warranty.

GM honoured the warranty and in fact went above and beyond.

Good to hear, the Op made one post ( a seemly legitimate bitch) and never returned, I agree with you Mike
