The Convertible top issues are common, especially on the earlier models. The bracing, not much can go wrong, other than a loose bolt or possibly a weld where the x-crosses
…certainly not a common issue. As for the a/c and alternator… well, as much as you want to say the mods didn’t cause your issues, who really knows? You’ve modded your car, and as far as the manufacturer is concerned, end of story, including the oil pump issue. You clearly make a good buck and can’t possibly be unintelligent, so I’m fascinated that you’re actually trying to sue GM for a buyback on a 2017 car. As well, a car “with mods”. What am I missing here… Seriously, please tell me? |

Oil pump should be covered under powertrain warranty, suing for a vehicle buyback is a complete waste of time and money - will never go anywhere
Supposedly Katech was going to put together a video on why the pumps fail, guess that isn't going to happen. Someone (preferably a customer) needs to bug them |

Ugh. This is scary. Just got my new to me 2018 ZL1 with 600 miles. Drove it home 800 miles. Now its up to 1600 miles. Build date is 11/17. It never had an oil change before I got it. Just had it changed at the dealer yesterday at 1550miles. Put in the factory fill 5w30.
I planned on ripping this beast but this makes me scared. Big time. |

While I am concerned about it, especially being stuck on the side of the road with my family with no AC, I give myself a 50/50 shot if it does. I am daily driving mine, so I will should find out something either way before 2023. For what it's worth, I had a '14 Audi S7. The 13/14 S6/S7 had turbo issues, about $5k issue if out of warranty (which I was) and had it done by an indy shop. FYI was likely due to the oil screen being too fine and clogging. No one had engine damage, just had to replace turbos. Audi would never admit being at fault, but they had something like 7 oil screen revisions so that kind of proves they knew of the issue. Just crossed my fingers. I got rid of it at 90k and no turbo issue. The PCV died few months before I got rid of it so got to inspect the impeller shaft play and it was fine on my car. One thing to add is when I bought the Audi, no one was talking about the PCV going out prematurely. People were having them die around 50k when I finally read stuff about it. Mine made it further than that, but was still a $2200 job to replace. After the Audi thing and not having warranty with potential known issues, one thing I did get on the ZL1 was an extended warranty. oil pump would be replaced regardless of that, but makes me feel better for the next 75k miles in general.

I will admit I do keep an eye on my oil pressure, kind of wish I didn't have to. But I'm not willing to test to see if the warranty will pay for a new a engine too, lol.

Why isn't a Katech customer(s) on here bugging them until they post something. If it's a better pump and I had a '17 or '18 I would be at their door - they also said the '19+ pump probably isn't much stronger |

Probably because they have no real data and they are just guessing? I dont know anyone with a 2019+ with a failed oil pump personally and I dont think ive seen anyone even post on here besides a poll that they indeed had a failure. 2017's Were getting reports as early as 2017 and 2018 that they were failing. Its 3 years now since 19's and pretty much nothing.

Fair point about the class action lawsuit, I agree with this. I was just pointing the issue about the Z06 out to go along with my comment about GM not acknowledging an oil pump issue. |

Does using the non AC Delco oil filter have anything to do with oil pump failure ?
I doubt Ktech can prove their pump is must better than OEM. |
