It remains for some auto mechanics difficult to get the car of their customer to stay, especially if it is a Corvette C7.

Yet we turn a bright light found that it was found necessary to 160 km/h to drive away in the brand new car from Swaite, a member of Corvetteforum.com. He brought his C7 to RK Chevrolet in Vineland, because the Check Engine light continued to illuminate and the fuel gauge is not at all good worked. He got ‘m back with a broken rear-view camera, and a rickety old manual transmission. Rara, how can that be?

The rear camera was so lucky to immediately be fixed. That Swaite during the drive could not switch back to the first or second gear, but heard that according to the relevant (non Corvette specialist) mechanic at the car. After much discussion, decided Swaite the telemetry of his car to read, and what turned out: during one of the many repairs drove the mechanic to 160 km/h on local roads, to then immediately hard the brake pedal.

The car has a total of three weeks at RK Chevrolet stood, we can well imagine that Swaite afraid that there is much more abuse of his car is made of. The dealer thinks differently, but that will not be a surprise. They were compared to Jalopnik to know that they are so hard to drive, because otherwise it was impossible for the seventh gear to the test. Sounds indeed credible…

Fortunately, there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel, because Swaite has contact with GM and they seem to be willing all the problems for him to solve. To be continued…
