This is just one of the many things going wrong with our Stingray. I was initially washing my new car and rinsing it without a care where the water was going, specifically the hood vent. I just assumed that the hood vent was made to channel any water that went into it to a location where it could be dispersed. Well, any water that goes into that hood vent goes directly onto the radiator and wherever else it wants to go. After some good washes I decided to get under the hood to wipe things down. I noticed that while letting the rinse water go into the hood vent it also soaks the hood liner. So now I have a hood liner with white water stains on it reaching about 8 inches away from the opening. Is anyone else having this issue? I know, I know. Don't let anymore water go down that vent. That would have been nice to know prior to water staining my hood liner. Also, good thing we don't drive it in the rain.
The other problems: garage door button got stuck, paint is chipping on wheels, a piece of something is under clearcoat on front bumper, all electronics on dash and radio blacked out while driving.
Everytime I wash this car I find another problem. I apologize for ranting and I know I'm going to step on some toes. We traded in a perfectly good Mercedes that had no quality issues for this expensive Vette that I am trying to ignore all the issues because it's quite frankly embarassing. Oh yeah, what's up with the rotors showing rust the minute they get wet?
