I purchased my stingray about a month ago from a dealership out of state. I had it shipped to colorado where I live.
Shortly after I took delivery, I noticed it pulled to the right starting at about 40mph.
I took it into the local Chevy dealer and they covered the alignment under warranty. I travel for work so only drive it a couple times a week when it isn't raining. Shortly after the first alignment, it was STILL pulling right. Frustrated I went back to the dealership with the car. I left it there over the week while I was away. They soon informed me they were using the wrong specs.. And that the issue should be resolved. I was elated to get her back. But damned if not a few days later... I for the 3rd time return to the dealership and take their service director on a ride to show him the pull. Knowing the situation he is baffled. Upon returning to the dealership to schedule an appointment, a service rep informs me that the second time the vette came through the GM techs had informed the mechanic to "offset" the caster to compensate for the pull. The mechanic and service rep both thought this was odd. I'm under the impression they had rigged the alignment and not followed specs. ( which still has not resolved the issue) my question to anyone who may have any insight is: would an "offset" outside normal specs be the proper method of rectifying this because both the mechanic and service rep thought it was wrong..and my next step is to get an attorney. I don't want this to take away from my love of the car as its been my dream to have one. It appears to me they don't have an explanation as to why it continues to pull right and want to cover it up. Lemon laws in colorado state 4 attempts to fix the problem and them GM needs to make it right. Any thoughts? 2014 3LT Z51. They apparently had applied the proper specs the first time.
