LMAO..... if memory serves me right.... GM had 29 Million Vehicles under RECALL IN 2016-2017 Spanning something like 10yrs worth of products......Piss Poor Engineering and Build Quality despite years of Development on Some Models Including the Flagship CORVETTE....Why would anyone think that their gettinga well made item....In the last 40yrs I can't think of any GM Product that makes Consumers Reports Recommended Used Car Buyer's List 5-7-10yrs Old....Why would anyone buy 1 brand new ???.

I don’t think you understand that the C8 is just a mass produced Chevrolet. It’s really nothing special. Just make a list of the issues and take it back to the dealer.

This is the norm for GM. Anyone else would call for an emergency meeting for quality control. When GM said they were going to manufacture a $120K car and sell it for $65K, they ended up selling a $65K for $100K.

Im sorry to hear that. Gm needs to be more responsible on their top of the line car. Those trim issues and paint is crazy to be found on the c8. Mine thankfully was a lined perfectly but it did have a small swirl mark on the back that the dealership buffed out but that could have been from the dealer washing it before putting it on the showroom. Get those issues fixed while you have warranty and if your planning on keeping your car id probably get a extended warranty because if they were that sloppy with the trims and paint dust they might have been sloppy on engine components or electrical components. Good luck hope everything goes well

I picked up my 2024, 3LT Stingray a few weeks ago. So far I don't have the issues you've seen. The panel gaps, the headlights, the whine, etc. I've only got 300 miles on mine though... Mine came with some rotary marks on the rear spoiler, and a couple imperfections in the paint though. Which the detail shop is fixing up prior to the PPF & ceramic coat...

Sadly, my new 2023 C8 2LT HTC is making the same whine. Dealership first thought it was a wind noise, but now believe it’s coming from either the transmission or rear end. They are contacting a GM engineer to help troubleshoot and told me “it’s going to take some time.” I’ve had it less than a month and followed all break-in rules. So disappointed as this is my first sports car and had such high hopes. Please update us when you get a solution.

I have been trying to decide between a C8 convertible and an Acura NSX Type S and as much as I want a convertible, it's starting to look like I will be going in the Acura direction, even though that will end up costing me more than double the price.

I have the same problem on my '24 with just over 1000 miles. I noticed the whine between 55-60 mph. It has been sitting at my dealership for five weeks now, waiting on some kind of tool to diagnose the issue. I don't know if this tool is something GM loans out, or if they are having to buy one, but it sure is taking a long time to find a solution.

Ah, crap. That’s very unfortunate to hear. Mine has been there for a few weeks, and they have fixed the other issues but are now working on diagnosing the whine.

Regarding the dust spot. I would have a shop touch up just the spot and not repaint the panel. Over time, it could fade or cure differently than the rest of the car. A good body shop should be able to blend it in. They shouldn't need to remove more then a dime size from the car.

My 2023 HTC 2LT C8 was one of the last 2023's built. Early September I believe. Absolutely no issues. Rock solid, but you have to expect that since they have been building those for years. The thing that is interesting about the switch is they required NO retooling time for the 2024's. Rep said that the first 2024 would be right behind the last 2023. Perhaps that has something to do with yours or you just got unlucky. I have checked all the gaps and they are perfect. There was a tiny issue with the passenger door not completely flush when closed but that was gone away with use. Car is at 1600 miles and I love it. I also opted for the 7 year bumper to bumper so no worries on the transmission or other large components. C9's expected in late 28 for the 29 year. Will be sharp looking for years to come.
