Yes, if you bought a car of your dreams, costing between $52,000 and $80,000, and you brought it home and had a problem, even worse two, and you would be rightfully and understandingly upset!!! I too would be very unhappy if that were to occur to me.
At the same time, while forums result in great information sharing and learning, they can breed a disproportionate sense of concern. If a from member reads anywhere on an internet forum, in which a person posted about their StingRay's problem "X", we all naturally tend to get concerned about, "will our StingRay have/develop problem "X?" And, when we read about person #2's post about their StingRay's problem "Y", uh-oh, my car could well have that problem too. Imagine how many different StingRay different problems have been internet posted since September 20th. OMG, might my car end up with a good percentage of them, say have 17 of those 85 different posted problems? OMG, that car is a piece of junk, I can't sleep any more, and I could (as some have done) get myself in such an uproar, that I immediately cancelled my order.
By now you know, you have realized I have written this somewhat "tongue in check." (The number 85 StingRay problems is a made-up number too). And yet, the overall message it also true, that the more we read about real problems someone had, and posted about their StingRay, the more we tend to get worried.
I have four friends who own StingRays, and not a single one has had a problem. They love their cars. Repeat: they all still have a CRUSH on their trouble free StingRays!
Yes, some Stingrays will develop a problem! A few will develop a second problem or a really ugly singular problem. Note that we have TSB section of this forum with five different TSB's. And we have a Problems/Issues section with 17 different threads -- one of which includes cold weather tire issues. And GM still has some software issues to resolve, such as easy/exit entrance of seats, mirror settings, etc on manual transmission cars (and yes, other software updates are needed too).
I hope that StingRay issues continue to become less and less, as they have with cars progressively delivered the last six months. I sure hope you stay on this forum and read and share issues of concern!!!! Also, I hope we all breathe; keep things in perspective; and, enjoy our StingRay's fantastic components and qualities.
