VF Holden Commodore Issues and Faults

[Krustyone]

Thought I would start a thread relating to faults and issues as I took delivery of my new VF Calais V and noticed the HUD display wont change pages with the Page button. Its stuck with Park Distance.

other than that niggle , any other issues ??

Sure. Seems stoopid to report a fault on a public forum with a car less than a day old without reading RTFM or advising /asking the dealer for a solution.
Turns out my 5yo coulda told ya - turn it off and on again.
Not my place to administer threads either, just sayin seems stoopid, defeatist. Opens the doors for whingers and non-fans to just have a bitch.

Just an FYI, posted that night after taking delivery of the car and I wanted to read the manual first to see if there is a reset of some kind. Thought I would post to let others know of the fault with the intention of providing the solution.
Rang service Saturday morning and they have not seen a car yet (not surprisingly) and could not help. Spoke with new car sales and they were looking in to it on Monday.

Not that I have noticed so far. A couple minor things which differ on the negative compared to my VE Calais V but all in all, a very nice car.

That's a big thing when you buy a new model car , you will find something's that may not be absolutely perfect , good to hear that you are happy though .

I'm expecting this to be the best Commodore ever built.
The reason being the Holden people are building it for export.
It has to be better, you can't expect any success in the export market if it is just average.
I think it will be a refined, safe, comfortable and smooth reliable vehicle that we'll enjoy getting behind the wheel of and driving.

My VY and VE were great cars.... ONCE the niggles were ironed out.

ATM the biggest niggle with the VF is that the heater is very ordinary. i.e. Setting the heater between 23 to 30 does not deliver the heat you would expect or similar to what I experienced from the VE.
I wont stress about until the first service.

Positives (just for something different) :hmmm:

Remote start is great for frosty Melbourne mornings. (warms up very quickly)
Voice recognition is excellent. Even beats Siri on the iPhone
Bose sound system is excellent even if the interface was developed by Panasonic.

What I think is missing IMO.

Blinkers on the mirrors.
HID headlights
LEDs in the blinkers/brake lights
Auto-dimming rear view mirror

What? The Calais V doesn't have HID's? :hmmm:
