2011 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

Filed Jul 19, 2026


I bought this vehicle in XXX with about 39k miles. About a year after purchase, I began smelling gasoline in my garage after I filled the tank. I have consulted Corvette forum ([XXX]) and find this is a common problem. If I fill the tank more than halfway, it seems to occur consistently. I recognize this car has no warranty, but this seems to be both common and a serious safety concern. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2023 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

Filed Jul 16, 2026


At 23000 miles the right rear wheel cracked. I have a 2023 Corvette stingray HTC with the 20 wheels. The option code for this original GM wheel is Q8Q, 20 rear carbon flash painted aluminum wheels with machined edge. This is a common problem and has been reported by many corvette owners on several corvette forums. I do not track my car and have new tires. GM again ignores this safety item. I had the problem on my C7 and again on my C8. I did complete the GM refund paperwork for my C7 cracked…

2026 CHEVROLET CORVETTE COUPE

Filed Jul 10, 2026


I am writing regarding my 2026 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 1LT and a very serious safety incident that occurred while driving on the Garden State Parkway. While driving at highway speed under normal conditions, my Corvette suddenly jerked and completely shut off without warning. The vehicle immediately lost power and became undrivable. Because there was no emergency shoulder available, I had no safe place to pull over. I was forced to coast for approximately one to two miles at very low speed…

2012 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

Filed Jul 2, 2026


I am reporting a safety issue involving the Active Handling/Stability Control system on my 2012 Chevrolet Corvette. After a routine oil change at Grossman Chevrolet in [XXX] on XXX, the “Service Active Handling System” warning appeared. I called the dealership and was told to cycle the ignition several times to reset it, but the warning stayed on. In early XXX, I returned for diagnosis. The dealership determined the steering angle sensor (GM Part 25858802) had failed and needed replacement. I…

2013 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

Filed Jun 24, 2026


Just recently I noticed that the leather on my dashboard has started to become unglued. My concern is 1) this is a defect that is common to not only C6 corvette modes (mine) but to C7 (google it on the internet) and some C8 models (information from Service Manager at Tasca Corvette in Wheeling, Illinois when he inspected my vehicle yesterday), 2) since there is an airbag in this location what affect will the loose dashboard leather have on the deployment of the airbag(s) thus becoming a…
