I have owned several C4 & C5 Corvettes and Goodyear tires suck. My XLR has the Michelins and they are so much better. A friend of mine has a 09 XLR with 500 miles on it and he changed all of his tires for Michelins. He said the Goodyears sucked too much tire noise.

Update I had the car towed to the dealer today. They found a bad ground at one of the pins on the BCM connector. They didn't charge me for the towing and only charge me $150.00 for the labor time. As I was walking out of the dealership the owner who I know asked me what was your car in for...

Well I went to use the car today and sure enough the door wouldn't open. So I open the trunk and released the door. I tried blowning the horn and the accesory mode came on but the car wouldn't start. I keep playing with the horn and the it went to driver one mode but still wouldn't start. I...

I just got my build sheet for my XLR. I was suprised that it was the one taped on the car when it was built. I thought I would have gotten a copy. Now if I could only get the window sticker.

About a month ago I went to get my XLR out of the garage to use it and the door wouldn't open. I could see the red lights on the door panel when I squeezed the door handle and the window tried to index but the door wouldn't open. I pressed the trunk button on the fob and it wouldn't raise the...

What happen to the low tire pressure system when you rotate? Does it need to be reset? On my 2004 Corvette you could reset it by bringing up tire system on the DIC and use a magnet on each wheel to reset it.

I just saw that car on cars.com for sale last week. The dealer who I bought my XLR from had a 09 black cherry not a V with 600 miles. He sold it and told me he would like that car in a V. Last week I saw a V black cherry/two tone int for sale on cars.com I just did a search again and it is...

My story is I have been a car guy my whole life. I guess since I was 6 years old I was Corvette crazy. I got a job in 1974 when I was 16 years old at the local Chevrolet dealership. My job was making sure all of the cars were washed on the lot. It was a great thrill getting to drive new and used...

I see that they only built 9 cars in that color?

I tried to get a window sticker for my 2004 XLR from the Museum but they don't do the 2004's only the build sheets. Any thoughts on were I could get one.

What was number one a 1959 convertible?

I had to have my brake pedal sensor switch replaced. I was going to do it myself until I found out that the tech 2 had to relearn the switch. Might be the same case for you.

I got a letter from Cadillac today about the fuel tank leak on XLR's. The letter says some 2004 XLR's may have a fuel odor while refueling, driven, or after parked. If the leak becomes large enough, a small amount of fuel may be observed dripping on the ground. The leak may also result in a...

Sounds like the park assist is set and the mirror is tilting.

I was having problems with my 04 XLR not starting it would set the message press brake to start. It also would give a message service stabilitrak/traction control light coming on. Also my brake lights would stay on when driving and go out when you would put your foot on the brakes. Since my...

I have been having an issue with the service stabilitrak message coming on along with the traction control light on my 2004 XLR. When this happens the brake lights go nuts and stay on while driving and go out when you push on the pedal. Also when this comes and you shut the car off and go to...

That's sort of what I did and it started working ok again.

Did you change the switch or keep pushing the pedal in and out?

I don't know how old the battery is becuse their is no date punched out on it. The car was sitting four days since I drove it last. I was looking at the battery and I see it only has 550 cranking amps which to me seems to low for this car.

Last night I was driving my 04 XLR and another driver pulled up aside of me and said. When you are driving down the road your brake lights are on and when you come to a stop with your foot on the brake they go off. Sure enough while driving on a dark road this was the case. When I got to my...
