Back in January 25th 2007 there was a post telling us how GM was starting to listen to Corvette owners feedback. The following link was supplied by another group, not alt.autos.corvette, so we could contact GM with our thoughts.
"We are aware of the shifter rattle issue and we have been working on it. We have identified the cause and there will be a bulletin and service parts late March or early April.
Ask your dealership to notify you when news comes out.
It is because of these types of issues that we initiated the owner feedback on our website. Thanks to people like you, earlier indentification is possible and we can move faster to keep the aggrevation level to a minimum. The knob rattle was not a 100% problem and our driving of the cars is limited. We had to find a way to detect and analyze and all of this falls under GM's continuous improvement objective.
Thank you for your comments about your corvette. I think the car is a "home run" and it causes a lot of people a lot of stress when we disappoint anyone, especially knowing you could have spent your money on a competitor's car. Please feel free to share this info with your friends and encourage them to use the feedback option on the web. We really do read the comments.
Thanks,
Ron Halcomb"
What have I hear? Nothing. What did I expect? Just what I got.
For those of you that haven't driven the 6-speed C5/C6 the rattle has been in some of them since 1997, maybe they just need more time.
