That is correct ladies and gentlemen, my 200-mile 2024 C8 E-Ray already has a check engine light on! Here's what I found out about it!

There's a saying in medicine that seems applicable to the automotive industry: "Neither be the first nor the last to adopt new technology."
My E-Ray VIN 009 has been problem free. Fingers crossed.🤞🏾
I wouldn’t be a happy camper finding out such extensive work, was done to my vehicle at 208 miles. This is only the Beginning.
@@jonathanvieni4067 Well, we will have to just cross that bridge when we come to it.
I am rooting for you
Thanks Mike. Glad your car is now fixed. Hopefully when you get 200,000 miles on it, here’s to your then looking back as this being your only repair the entire time.
I have learned to never buy a first year model.
Let them work the bugs out first.
Patience has a better reward.
Glad to hear you are back on the road. Hopefully no more issues! The wheels look great, nice touch Darren!
From my 20+ years working for Chevy dealers I learned it was best to wait until the 3rd model year to buy a new GM model, my wife was wanting to replace her Cadillac CTS with a 2020 CT5 told her to just be patient, we got a 2022 3.0TT and it has been perfect, I like the Eray and have my sights on a 2026. I've never understood the first on the block mentality.
I wonder if these problems that are popping up with the E-Ray is the reason why there’s a delay in them being delivered from the factory?
I guess the old saying of..never buy the first yr of a car, kinda sticks here...sad
Great video. To be honest there are not a lot of erays out there so, GM had this problem on test cars and instead of fixing it they just waited to see how many people will have this problem. Imagine in the future when the warranty is out and this happens!!!! GM should do better. They always rush and probably don’t care about the eray. Their focus is on the Zora model and the next gen C9.
They care. The Eray is incredibly complex. Statistically all failure modes can't be covered in the first year based upon time compression to develop and release the vehicle.
Like the chrome rims better!
Yes, love those wheels...Friends are awesome, great report about a chevrolet dealer doing expert phenomenal maintenance on a super car!!!
My Eray has been back in shop for 3 days. Check engine light. Gas gauge quit working, cold start with stealth mode never worked. 800 miles. They have no clue what’s wrong with it.
If you buy an Eray, best to have a back up vehicle...lol.
@@lukewalker1051I'm on the list for one no hurry now ! 🤔
Must be nice to be able to buy you're buddy some two piece place holder wheels for his Vette. The most I ever got from a friend was a new shirt!
Glad your check engine light was repaired. As I said on day one your car was beautiful don't mess it up. Well u couldn't help yourself with those black wheels.
My corvette "couldn't" be fixed and was lemoned. Not this issue, but I wish you luck.
What’s it going to look like at 100k miles?
How does this happen Mike. Where's GM's quality control?
Ohhhhhh Boy........I have not had this issue YET thank goodness.... I hate this happened to you. Geez. Thank you for sharing this.
Hopefully he keeps the original wheels in case he goes to sell the car. A collector might want everything original
Drive motor clutch actuator. Hmmm.
Good luck my friend.
He rolled his sleeves up😂
Mike again great informative video. I haven’t had an issue with my ERay but if it arises Ill not freak out and bring it in for repair
Love the Forgedlite wheels cant wait for BOS 3.0
Thank you for your E-ray Beta testing.
@@majinbuu34 lol, you’re welcome 😊
Hey Mike, I like the “interim” wheels on 3.0, and will be interested to see what the future brings for this build. Very nice of Darren to do that. I actually sort of like the ERay wheels, and mine was going to have those in black. As to the electric motor issue…I don’t know, man. Growing pains, I guess. For my personal situation, I am satisfied that I made the right decision in bypassing my ERay build as I anxiously await the C8ZR1. When I started seeing the dropping values of the C8Z06 as supply started ramping up and the delay of the ERay as the C8ZR1 seemed to be getting closer, it just made sense for me and where I am. No regrets here but excited about the ERay content and what more we will learn on the ZR1 in two weeks. Good stuff, Mike!
Informative video Mike especially since mine is being built and any data is GREATLY APPRECIATED. Happy you got your baby back relatively quickly considering the labor intensive repair they had to do. One question my friend what color is your ERay, curious mine will be Sea Wolf Gray, thanks brother for all your work keeping us novices informed.
Glad everything work out and what a stunning surprise the wheels look fantastic and on a side note a lot of GM models are suffering from the dreaded shift to park including new vehicles and vehicles several years old.
Sucks that it was not as easy as just a connector but at least it wasnt some major part that was really backordered. Glad it all got sorted out!
Yea … they just had to root around in the front end for about 4 hours taking everything apart to get access to it. Hopefully the new actuator has some design changes that fixes the problem.
@@gregoryanselmi8227 and....they reinstalled the steering gear backward and now it turns in the opposite direction.
@@NuHorizonC8 Thanks Carlos. It did, but as you know, it was great content and should help others if they have the same issue.
Glad everything worked out you got your Car A quickly
What is the strobe light thing that the vehicles drive through into the service center?
Thanks for working the bugs out Buddy. Still haven't got my allocation.
Cool when I watch a video and recognize where you’re driving. 2:50-2:53 was just west of Josey Road on Parker Road. Would love to meet up for lunch some weekend!
The new infotainment system in the 24s has a lot of bugs. My GPS just quit working one day. The WiFi got locked and I couldn’t connect my phone to it. The speed limit sign disappeared and the note said that I needed a plan, which I had. I called Onstar and they helped get it fixed. I just got a new Chevy dually and have had it for less than the three weeks - exact same problem but this time, Onstar could only fix GPS. Now I have to deal with this at the dealer.
Have the same problem, screen is black, but it plays my music on the phone
Good info as I'm considering purchasing an E Ray. I usually wait until the second or third year comes out before I buy so they can work out the bugs
Glad to see you are back I business. Sweet wheels! Just curious, do the Chevy CF wheels also fit the Eray?
Thank you for this information. This will prove to be very helpful for any vehicle that has a similar setup. I'm not a fan of black wheels, but that quickly changes my mind. Lol
Intermittent issues are the hardest to nail down.
I know GM gets parts from China so if they are putting them on this car expect problems. I wouldn’t want my new car disassembled already especially by someone who has never seen a E-Ray. One more problem I wouldn’t want the continued headaches but it’s good for your channel.
Then in less than 500 miles the actuator goes out again. 😮
It just goes to show, you probably should not buy first run of such a high tech machine. My 18 Camero SS lost a couple pages on menu after water in trunk issue, but nothing effected the drive of it and after all that’s what it’s truly about. Good luck with that one .
Nah man thats alarming every since my C7 GS was lemoned lawed i just never trust GM products. But good luck
Was probably bad from day 1. Seen a lot of bad parts on new vehicles, all the time from every manufacturer.
Love the wheels! Bummer on the issue being a common occurrence with no diagnosis of the root cause. Logically this will continue to happen until they determine why, which never feels good.
Darren, you da Man! Mike those wheels are da Bomb! I am awaiting on my 2024 ZO6 to be built as I speak.
He sure is, and yes they are very nice! Awesome man, congrats on your new Z06!
Stay clear of electric vehicles. They are junk. I will proudly keep my V8’s.
This is a V8 and a big one at that 😊
Hybrid, not electric.
I’m glad I kept my manual C7 Z06 so much car and never been in for anything wrong. What a car.
Maybe the actuator just doesn’t like talking that much . Kinda like me !
I just wonder why that new part failed at only 200 miles? I would think that part was supposed to last 100K miles.
That was super nice of Jose! They are similar to my 2 piece Satin Black Wheels I have on my Z06. Although I have the Satin Red Hardware on mine.
I need friends like Darren and Jose LOL Looks very nice!
@@sly7891 Yeah, they are the best for sure. God certainly has blessed me with amazing people in my life. 😊💪
this time it was under warranty, I wonder the the cost would be out of warranty
I don't plan to keep my E-Ray past warranty period. Hell, I'm not planning to keep my Stingray past warranty....hell of a car but some of the mechanical failures that could happen are way too pricey to pay out of pocket and not want to punch a kitten.
@@RenBartlett Smart man. C8 DCT's are all dodgy. $20K out of warranty.
@@lukewalker1051 The failure rate is much, much lower than it is made out to be. We run polls on our Corvette forums and its very low. BUT, you are right, its insanely expensive out of warranty and I would not risk it.
That really sucks. Nice interview with the mechanic hopefully he doesn’t get in trouble.😂
I'm just being honest. The stock wheels pop much more than the black rims. It's like its on winter rims in Canada. Its likely just the video vs in person
VAUGHN!!! Only person I hand my car over to at Classic Chevrolet!
I have been waiting for year and a half on mind getting ready to sale my 2022 c8
Lol, I'm guessing the wheels from Darren took a little bit of the sting out of the car problems😂😂
They sure did. They actually made my day! 😊
@@BrinkofSpeed they do look good!
Good service tech!
WTH…. Come on GM…. Very hard to buy a new version of corvette , too many bugs. Looking to buy used 2023….
If it was a common problem, why didn’t they fix it pre-delivery? That’s what I hate about these manufacturers. They just wait till it fails and they know it’s gonna.
because they don't really know what is the problem, they just replace the part that cause the CEL on
There's a reason theyve only built 500 or so by now...
Amen! They lie about the reasons but the fact is they know full well that this car is not ready.
May wait for the GS !
It’s really reassuring when the tech consults with the Corvette Engineers to solve issues. This week my rear view mirror camera went out and within an hour GM verified the issue and ordered the part for me. Nobody wants their car to break, but it’s nice to have that level of support.
Pop goes the weasel.
@@Glasscitycarnerd Yeah, it was great that this part was available for mine as well. 😊
Hang in there Mike remember your a Chevy 👣 blazer
Thanks for sharing.... no issues with my ERay with over 600 miles but if I get this CML I have a leg up. Much appreciate it!
Hey don’t listen to any of those haters although everyone is entitled to their own opinion… The black wheels Darren snuck on there look WAY better! 💯
Looks Great
4:55 - Thank you. Much, much better!
Love the new wheels, leave them on.
That mechanic seemed honest about everything. Good job
@@kingofallmen1 I agree 100% Gavin is a nice honest man. 😊
I wonder what the Hours of Labor are allotted for on this Warranty Claim .
1 1/2 Days to get this done !?
That poor guy is now the Dealership Go To Guy on this issue .
The Learning Curve alone , is only for the patient and Brave …. 😂
Sounds like GM needs to get a different vendor for this particularly part…
That's awesome congrats 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
Love the wheels !! 👍
The new placeholder wheels are SOOOOO much nicer looking than the stock E-Ray wheels. The stock E-Ray wheels are rather boring and lackluster, imo. I love the placeholder wheel's design, but I'm not a fan of the black finish.
#4 ? Should how much cost no warranty
Hang in there Brother. It's man-made...so not perfect. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. Your genuine transparency is one of the reasons we follow you. Keep 'em coming!
Seriously, it’s a brand new car, stop excusing poor quality.
I didn’t excuse anything. Just stating that things break.
That’s the key point is it an upgraded actuator?
No. Chevy engineering likely don't even know the root cause of the failure. Maybe a design fault and not a manufacturing anomaly. As a Chevy Engineer, sometimes its a combination of both. When a design lacks robustness, its a veritable lottery as to when/if a replacement part will fail again. Eventually a design or metallurgy change will be made, part number will be rev'ed and next replacement should be more solid.
Smashed !!!!!!!!!
Never buy first model year. Especially when they never made a hybrid corvette before.
You can't do any better than the oem E-Ray wheels, IMO, best Corvette wheel design ever. I personally, would absolutely have to have the full polished version, can't stomach all black wheels on my cars. As to the mechanical issues, chit happens, but Chevy will get it fixed.
The wheels look awesome
If it's a common problem, then it should have shown up during the testing period of the preproduction vehicles.
Should’ve got a Z06
Those are some good looking wheels!
Stick with c7 z06 bro these new ones are trash
Did not have that problem, my 24 Z06 lost an Alternator at 89 miles and the second one at 276 miles..go figure.Have 2400 on it now,,,running good..
Hey Mike does Darren have a TH-cam channel?
Wow, I have never seen so much hate.😮😮😮
Nice ride but like the original wheels , just me but to each their own.. Enjoy the ride..
Its the case with any new car nowadays because there's alot of electronics and people are lazy from the drinking they do after work and on weekends. American quality is not like it use to be.
As a corvette owner and enthusiasts. I hate this car.
This is like an episode from Overhauled.
Beautiful car. I hope you have a extended warranty because that car is gonna have all kinds of problems when it gets some mileage on it being electric.
These z06 s have engine ticking , the erays catching on fire and problems , why can't Chevy get it together, what will it be with zr1
Happy ending!
Well that's why you should wait till the second or third yr of existence before buying a new car.
@@richardmorris7063 I hear ya, but that’s just not me and I’m a TH-camr so this is content. 😊
My c6 got one at 46 miles
GLAD IT WORKED OUT-HOPE MY ERAY IS SPARED! HOW
I CAN I CONTACT YOU ,PERSONALLY
I LIKE YOUR TESTIMONY - I FEEL TH SAME
Id rarher have z06 than eray. Z06 sounds is addicting and the attention you get is always fm😂
Does he get paid flat rate?
