Chevrolet Corvette

While driving at approximately 50 mph, the outer painted panel of the removable targa roof began separating from its supporting frame. The roof frame remained latched to the vehicle, but the driver-side front/top-left corner of the painted panel lifted far enough that I could see daylight between the panel and frame. I immediately pulled off the highway, removed the roof, stored it in the trunk, and drove home. The panel did not completely detach and there was no crash, injury, or property…

While operating my 2023 Chevrolet Corvette at approximately 75 mph on [XXX], the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly lost propulsion. Moments later, the vehicle completely shut down. The instrument display went dark and the vehicle's lights went out. This occurred in active highway traffic. I struggled to maintain control of the vehicle while avoiding surrounding vehicles and narrowly avoided a potentially catastrophic collision. I managed to bring the Corvette to rest on the shoulder. The…

Power steering went out at 12k miles not readying steering torq sensor

One of the upper rear control arm brackets partially detached from the chassis while cornering causing the rear wheel to toe out. The cause of the failure is a cold weld. The vehicle is untouched since the incident and available for review. This issue is relatively common on C5 corvettes. Please search C5 control arm bracket tear to find many documented instances. As these vehicle shift from being garage queens to performance bargains, the issue will become more visible. My C5 went 100k miles…

My Corvette was inspected as part of the initial steering lock recall and I was told it was okay, no action was needed. Subsequently, my steering column lock has frozen and the vehicle cannot be moved under its own power. Does the original recall still apply? From what I have seen on the Corvette Forum, this is an ongoing, recurring issue with C5 Corvettes.

If I fill my tank all the way, fuel leaks. It doesn't reach the ground but if you look underneath, you can see where the fuel has leaked. Also, the fumes are so bad it cannot be kept in the garage. There was a warranty program (Special Coverage Adjustment #17469) for this but there are a lot of other cars that did not display these symptoms and were not fixed while the warranty period was intact. Now the timeframe has passed (not mileage) and these parts that are known to be faulty and failing.…

My Onstar feature does not work at all. So there is no emergency notification in the event of an accident. The dealer ordered the module to repair the problem but GM keeps canceling the order. There has been reports of the engine stalling, I have not experienced that yet so I do not drive the vehicle much for that reason.

Vehicle is 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 with about 33000 miles. On XXXI was driving about 65 mph on [XXX] in the left lane with my wife as passenger. On a slight left curve the front brakes applied hard on their own without my input. The car slowed very rapidly. A semi truck in the right lane had to take evasive action to avoid a collision. A similar event happened on XXX with only me in the car at about 45 mph. The front brakes applied on their own in a similar way. I also recall a possible…

Shift assembly broke, part unavailable, can't drive

Both front headlamp assemblies have internal moisture condensation and permanent residue/streaking on the interior lens surfaces. This is a known manufacturing defect documented across 2020-2024 C8 Corvette model years. GM issued TSB 01-08-42-001P acknowledging this defect. Cox Chevrolet documented both headlamps as 'DEFECTIVE HEADLAMP LENSES' on repair order #428778. The vehicle has only 3,700 miles. GM's own Policy Evaluation Tool confirms zero miles driven out of warranty. GM offered only…
