Problems I've seen. Anyone else?

[I8ACHEVY]

Don't know how much of this is me nitpicking, but this is what I have seen with just about 5500 on our EB Premium:

1) Some body alignment issues.
Front bumper
Driver's side fender, right in front of the door seems bulging out.
Cloth/rubber mating on the driver's side A pillar. Seems you can see the edge of the cloth on the A pillar and have to constantly re touch the rubber to fold over the cloth.

2) Hesitation when shifting gears. (R>D) (D>R)
3) Wind noise on driver's side.
4) Wrinkled passenger side leather.
5) Driver's side seatbelt is cutting a notch into the leather seam where the strap comes out of the seat.

I know some things are common on other threads.
Anyone have the seat leather and seatbelt or other issues addressed for that matter?

Thanks,
Aris

Forgot to add the rear view mirror vibrates and causes objects in mirror to be blurred.
I know this shouldn't bother me but it does and I'd like to be able to distinguish when there's a cop behind me!

The leather/belt problems kills me because it's just a poor design. I can't be the only one hitting this. When I described it to the service advisor over the phone he says they'd need the car for the day as they'd have to go back and forth with engineering and digital imagery. So right off the bat, I am procrastinating bringing it in until I have a couple of free days. May just stick it out at the dealership and hang tight there.

Non of these issues. The slight bulge on the drivers door fender alignnment are is also seen on S197 Gen5. Considered normal. My backup camera is an issue though. Only 480 miles. The car handles well. Non PP GT Premium loaded .

Of all those, I've only noticed the A-pillar cloth/rubber touching edge. It's only slightly annoying but kind of glad to know I'm not the only one with this. Pushing the cloth edge back in doesn't work for very long so if anyone knows of a easy solution or a thread that has that, I'm all ears!

Exactly. I'm going to the dealer for all this stuff next week. I plan on leaving it for a couple of days.

Body panels and bumpers are OK on my GT. The only issues I have is the leather seats do not cool on the back rest, the leather on both front seats seems to fit loosely causing leather to wrinkle at only 2 MONTHS OLD! and the rear view mirror started vibrating last night. Seems like its just not a tight fit where it mounts on windshield. Moves up and down about an 1/8". It will probably get annoying real quick. Will set up an appointment today to get everything check out.

Just got back from the dealer.
Here goes:
1) Tech acknowledged there is a slight bulge at the bottom of the fender as it relates to the front of the door. Pulled around a new '15 on the lot and that car had both of those bulges. (one on each side of the car).
He repaired the cloth that's exposed on the edge by the A pillar and said if it continues to be a problem they could possibly under the headliner a bit and shift things around.

2) Normal on the new '15.
3) Normal on the new '15. No wind leak found.
4) Took pictures of it and will submit for repair.
5) Took pictures of it and will submit for repair.
6) Also complained about the lack of cooling in the "cooling" seat backs.
The shop foreman agreed that they did not cool, however, he went on to say how the new '15 did the same exact thing. Nothing to fix as far as he knew.
I explained that is exactly the problem. The new car has the problem because it's just that...a problem. I asked him to do whatever he could to document that there was a difference in temperature between seat bottom and seat back. He said he understood and that he would do that as well as follow up with a hotline call to engineering to verbally convey the message. I don't know what timeline he's on, and I'll be away for a bit on travel. We'll sync up in September sometime.

Anyhow, wanted to give some insight into this.
