Im just curious to see if anyone has had to do minor or major repairs to the ZL1.

I will start I had my left rear caliper replaced at 1k under warranty.

I was missing a spacer on a screw that is used to strap down the convertible cover when the top is down.

also, I haven't brought it in for this yet, but my rear view mirror has some crazy circular swirl marks in it. they aren't on the surface, and will not clean off. It's not a huge deal, so I'l probably ask about it when I go in for an oil change.

only 1 minor repair: Replaced the steering wheel on the 2013 because the suede cover was coming loose from the wheel itself.
Nothing else! It's a great car!!!

I had the same thing on my drivers side mirror and it kept the dimming feature from working, hell I didn't even know the mirror dimmed until it was replaced!

waterbag drain out of position, draining water under carpet on rr floor, repaired myself. the strange thing is the rear window rubs this rubber drain fairly hard every time it goes up & down. we were lucky to find this problem before it mildewed the carpet. never has been in the rain yet, water just from car washes. no other problems, love the car

I too have a very loud rumbling coming from the rear of the car.... vicinity of the exhaust pipes.... some "popping" noises at times too!

Mines at the dealer now. Driver's seat squeaked quite a bit. They are replacing the frame of the seat. Got a loud noise too from the rear end of mine, except I don't think it's good one. Its a bang sound like something hitting something on an aggressive upshift or downshift. They said that's normal driveline slack... Uh no... It wasn't there 1000 miles ago. So another tech is going to drive it and see. Also looking at a couple small spots in the paintjob, looks like there's a milky haze in the clearcoat.

That said, I still love the car. She is my baby.

..I'm good so far, knock on wood, only issue was the front spring spacers tossed after PDI...which were replaced by the dealer.

onewaydave · 09-04-2013, 11:35 PM

Nothing yet, great car just shy of 4000 miles!

I had the minor water leak at the oil cooler that is common on all V8 Camaros and Corvettes. It was so small that the car never left a puddle and the belly pan was dry. You could just smell coolant and there was a drip of coolant on the bottom of the pipe. Dealer found during an oil change and repaired.
