I say it's time to get the car replaced... I've read all of your threads, could've been the bad one of the bunch. So far mine's been holding up, no problems other than paint scuffs which the dealer fixed. Good luck!

And I don't do think you have to move on to another brand. I'm willing to bet that if you simply get another C7, everything will be fine. These are just the early woes that plague every new product launch on the market. You just got unlucky, that's all. Get another vette and I'm sure it'll meet all of your expectations.
Just as an FYI: I once read about a guy buying a very early Porsche 998 911 GT2 just to have the fuel pump fail the second day of ownership. Again, some failures are inevitable with new products.

Hopefully, this bulletin will be the fix. I trust you are getting a loaner car.
