2007 Chevrolet Corvette complaints

SMELL OF FUEL WHEN ENTERING GARAGE. AFTER GETTING A TIRE CHANGED, MECHANIC SAW FUEL LEAK NEXT TO DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE. ALSO SMALL DROP OF FUEL ON FLOOR NEAR DRIVER REAR TIRE. SAW FUEL TRIP THROUGH FUEL TANK PAN HOLDER.

AFTER STARTING VEHICLE, IT WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. IT IS LOCKED INTO PARK. VEHICLE COULD LEAVE YOU STRANDED AND IN DANGER DUE TO THIS FAILURE.

REAR PARKING LIGHTS

VALVES OF SPECIFICATIONS. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO GET THIS FIXED. IF I WOULD HAVE DROPPED A VALVE WHILE DRIVING I COULD HAVE LOSS CONTROL OF MY CAR. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT CHEVROLET REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE 2007 Z06 23884 MILES 1 INT .008" #1 EXH .006" #3 INT .0085" #3 EXH .005" #5 INT .0085" #5 EXH .010" #7 INT .009" #7 EXH .005" #2 INT .010" #2 EXH .011" #4 INT .010" #4 EXH .012" #6 INT .008" #6 EXH .017" #8 INT .007" #8 EXH .006" MAX GM SPEC IS .0037" WHICH WOULD ROUGHLY BE .0075" ON THE WIGGLE TEST. SO BASICLLY IF THE WIGGLE TEST IS OVER .0075" THE GUIDES ARE OUT OF SPEC.

AIR BAG DISENGAGED LIGHT ON DASH COMES ON WHEN HITTING A BUMP. NOT SURE WHETHER AIRBAGS ARE REALLY NOT WORKING OR NOT. CODE SHOWS SEAT BELT TENSION AT FAULT.

2007 CORVETTE Z06 WITH LS7 ENGINE E. VALVE TRAIN BEGAN MAKING USUAL NOISES. FACTORY VALVE GUIDES FOUND TO BE OUT OF SPECIFICATIONS. HEADS REMOVED AND FACTORY VALVE GUIDES AND EXHAUST VALVES REMOVED AND REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CONTACT APPLIED THE CLUTCH TO SHIFT FROM SECOND TO THIRD GEAR. WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS RELEASED, THE VEHICLE JERKED AS IF THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE CLUTCH AND MANEUVERED TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A VALVE HAD FALLEN INTO CYLINDER ONE. AS A RESULT, THE PISTON AND CYLINDER WALL WERE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,500.

WHILE DRIVING THE CORVETTE, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITH NO NOTICE. THE DASH INDICATED THE VEHICLE HAD ENTERED ACCESSORY MODE. POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND ENGINE POWER WERE COMPLETELY GONE. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, THE DIC WENT FROM 'ACCESSORY MODE' TO 'SHIFT INTO PARK'. IN ORDER TO DO SO, I HAD TO COAST TO A SAFE PLACE. ONCE I GOT TO A SPOT WHERE I COULD MOVE OFF THE ROAD, I SHIFTED TO PARK AND RESTARTED THE CAR. IT THEN DROVE ON AS USUAL, BUT THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OTHER INDICATOR. THIS HAPPENED ONLY ONCE THIS DAY, HOWEVER OCCURRED THREE ADDITIONAL TIMES WITHIN 10 MILES ON THE 23RD OF JULY. I CONTACTED A GM SERVICE TECHNICIAN WHO WORKS AT A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND HE CHECKED FOR ANY SERVICE BULLETINS OR RECALLS. THERE WERE NONE FOR THE CORVETTE. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET, AND CORVETTE FORUM (I AM A 10 YEAR FORUM MEMBER). I FOUND NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THE IGNITION SWITCH IN 2005-2007 CORVETTES FAILING IN THIS MANNER. I LOCATED AN IGNITION SWITCH AND REPLACED IT. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM IN 15 MINUTES AND FOR LESS THAN $50 AT DEALER RETAIL. I KNOW FROM OTHER NHSTC RECALLS ON VEHICLES THAT IGNITION SWITCH FAILURES ARE CONSIDERED A CRITICAL AND DANGEROUS FAILURE. THE FAILURES IN THE CORVETTES SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THESE RECALLS. IF SUCH A FAILURE OCCURRED DURING CROSSING TRAFFIC OR WHILE DRIVING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY INTERSTATE TRAFFIC, THE RESULTS COULD EASILY BE (AND MAY ALREADY HAVE BEEN) DEADLY. PLEASE CONSIDER INITIATING A RECALL, OR INCLUDING THE AFFECTED YEARS OF CO

GAS FUMES CONSTANTLY COMING OUT FROM AROUND THE CAR MOSTLY FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR.....ENTERING INSIDE OF CAR

THE SHIFT INTERLOCK FAILS HAS FAIL 3 TIMES SINCE I OWNED THE CAR. THE SELONOIDE THAT TELLS THE SHIFTER THAT THE BRAKE IS PRESSED LOCKS UP. (CANT SHIFT OUT OF PARK) THE DRIVER CANT PUT THE CAR IN ANY GEAR. GM FIXED IT BY REPLACING THE WHOLE SHIFTER AND NOT UPGRADING THE FAILED PART. THEY JUST PUT ANOTHER BAD SHIFTER IN ITS PLACE. I HAD ONE TIME WHERE I COULD NOT PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THIS THE ENGINE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. I HAD TO FORCE THE SHIFTER FORWARD ALMOST TO BREAKING POINT TO SHUT THE ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE AN ABNORMAL SNAPPING SOUND AND A WIND NOISE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,888.

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. DEALER REPLACED BRAKE SWITCH. STILL HAVE SAME ISSUE.

THE SHIFT BUTTON WILL NOT DEPRESS AND WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. INTERMITTEN ISSUE. IT CAN TAKE UPTO 50 ATTEMPTS BEFORE IT WILL WORK. DEALER CLAIMS IT ISNT AND ISSUE IF THEY CANNOT REPEAT THE PROBLEM.

ON SEVERAL OCCASION WHEN I HAVE FILLED MY CAR I HAVE HAD GAS RUN OUT INSIDE THE FENDER. I HAVE ALSO SMELLED GAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AFTER FILLING UP

AFTER REFUELING, I CAN SMELL GASOLINE IN THE VEHICULE COMPARTMENT

THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY AT ALL SPEEDS AND ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS.

THE GAS TANK LEAKS FUEL AND DRIPS DOWN THE BACK SIDE OF THE TANK. I CAN SMELL GAS FUMES VERY BADLY WHEN I PARK MY CAR IN CONFINED SPACE

MY VEHICLE IS PRODUCING A STRONG FUEL ODOR WHEN PARKED IN MY GARAGE. SO MUCH SO, THAT THE FUEL ODOR PERMEATES THE ENTIRE HOUSE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM SUFFERED BY MANY C6 OWNERS AND IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON MANY CORVETTE FORUMS AND THERE IS EVEN A YOUTUBE VIDEO (HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/P9E3MD122MG) REVEALING THE PROBLEM. A CRACK DEVELOPS IN THE PRESSURE SIDE OF THE FUEL PUMP. GM HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL OTHER 2007 MODEL VEHICLES AND PROMPTLY ORDERED A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION IF EXPOSED TO AN IGNITION SOURCE......................... SOURCES: RECALL: 2007-2009 CHEVROLET COBALT / PONTIAC G5; 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX / PONTIAC TORRENT / SATURN ION - FUEL PUMP CAMPAIGN ID #: 12V459000 [NHTSA]....................... GM RECALLING 40,859 CARS FOR POTENTIAL FUEL LEAKS [FOX NEWS]...................... GM RECALLING NEARLY 41,000 VEHICLES OVER FUEL-LEAK RISK [LOS ANGELES TIMES].................... WHAT MAKES THIS THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM ANY DIFFERENT FROM THOSE RECALLED VEHICLES. WILL IT TAKE A DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY OR CATASTROPHIC LOSS FOR THESE PROBLEMS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HOPE NOT. I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR ALL CONSUMERS THAT RELY ON YOUR AGENCY TO PROTECT US FROM THE SHORTCOMINGS OF MANUFACTURERS OF FAULTY PRODUCTS....WE NEED YOUR INTERVENTION IN THIS C6 FUEL PUMP PROBLEM !!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM DID NOT ALERT WHEN THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW OR WHEN A TIRE WAS FLAT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY CORVETTE AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. WHEN COMING OUT OF A CURVE ACCELERATED AND THE CAR PULLED TO THE RIGHT. WHEN APPLIED BRAKES PRESSURE IT HAD NO AFFECT ON STEERING AND STOPPING THE CAR. THE CAR CONTINUED TO GO TO THE RIGHT IN A CIRCLE UNTIL VEHICLE HIT THE GUARD RAIL. IT APPEARED THAT IT WAS IN A LIMP MODE THE CAR HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN THROUGH ACCELERATION THE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE CONTROLS WHERE IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER AND TOOK OVER CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND WOULDN'T STOP THE CAR. I AM FORTUNATE THAT DIDN'T OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY WITH OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME, WHICH COULD HAVE CREATED A CATASTROPHIC SITUATION. *TR

THE CAR HAS DEVELOPED A TERRIBLE GASOLINE ODOR. THE CAUSE IS THE FAULTY PLASTIC FITTING AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. THERE IS A VISIBLE FUEL LEAK RUNNING DOWN THE TANK. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE AND FILLS WITH FUMES. I CANNOT PARK THE CAR INSIDE AND FEAR THAT THE CAR IS DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH NITROUS SEC FOOSE 8 1/2 BY 19 AND REAR 10 1/2 BY 19(NA) TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES FAILED AND THE SIDEWALLS SPLIT BEFORE THE CONTACT COULD PLACE 100 MILES ON THE TIRES. THE TIRES HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. THE VIN AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

UPON PARKING THE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE I NOTICED A VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE. I SEARCH ALL AROUND THE CAR AND COULD NOT FIND A LEAK. THIS VERY POWERFUL FUEL/GASOLINE SMELL WOULD PERMEATE MY ENTIRE HOUSE CAUSING A BIT OF NAUSEA AT TIMES. I STARTED TO PARK THE CAR OUTSIDE BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS THE NOXIOUS FUMES. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND THAT THE MAIN FUEL PUMP (LOCATED IN THE LEFT SIDE FUEL TANK) HAD BEEN LEAKING FROM THE HIGH PRESSURE SIDE OF THE PUMP. THE PLASTIC THAT FUEL PUMP MODULE IS COMPOSED OF STARTED TO DETERIORATE ON IT'S OWN, AND BEGAN TO SPRAY FUEL ONTO THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THERE IS A LARGE SKID/SUPPORT PLATE THAT HOLDS UP THE FUEL TANK AND THIS PLATE WAS RETAINING A MAJORITY OF THE FUEL. THIS TANK IS ALSO VERY CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST AND I'M JUST FORTUNATE THAT THE FUEL DID NOT SPRAY INTO THAT DIRECTION. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH ALL 2005-2013 CORVETTES. SO MANY ISSUES IN FACT THAT AC DELCO (THE VENDOR THAT SUPPLIES THE FUEL PUMP MODULES TO GM) HAS ISSUED 3 UPDATES TO THIS PARTICULAR PART. HERE IS MY OEM PART NUMBER AS WELL AS THE SUBSEQUENT UPDATE PART NUMBERS. MY OE PUMP THAT LEAKED: 15785206 (IS NO LONGER A GOOD AC DELCO #) 1ST UPDATE: 19133441 2ND UPDATE: 19302042 3RD UPDATE: 19149687. *TR

CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK AFTER STARTING. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SOLENOID. *TR

STRONG VAPORS OF RAW FUEL FROM VEHICLE WHEN OVER 1/2 A TANK OF GAS. DEALER COULD NOT LOCATE. GAS LEAK WAS ON TOP OF TANK WHICH WAS NOT VISIBLE FROM UNDERNEATH WITHOUT REMOVAL OF REAR WHEEL WELL. THIS IS DOCUMENTED ON CORVETTE FORUM AS MANY OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND CAUSED BY CRACKING OF PLASTIC FITTING AT TOP OF THE TANK- APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT. *TR

MADE ONLINE CONCERN AND ISSUE WITH LOW BEAM LIGHTS GOING OFF IN 2011. RECALL NOTICE FROM GM; JANUARY 2015, STATES IT WILL INSTALL "JUMPER" WIRE. I ALREADY HAD THIS COMPLETED ON 10/13/2011 WHICH RESULTED AS A SHORT TERM FIX. STILL ENDED UP HAVING PROBLEMS AND EVENTUALLY (HOPING FOR THE RECALL TO TRANSPIRE SOONER) HAVE IT SET UP NOW WHERE I NEED TO POP THE HOOD AND INSTALL A 20 AMP FUSE IN ORDER FOR LIGHTS TO GO ON. "JUMPER" FORMAT IS NOT ADEQUATE JUST BE AWARE. THE DESIGN OF THE UBEC UNIT SHOULD BE OVERHAULED TO ACCOMPLISH TWO KEY ISSUES; HEAT AND LESS SHARP BENDS OF THE INTERNAL COPPER WIRING TO PREVENT STRESS AND BREAKING. CURRENTLY ONLY FOG LIGHTS FUNCTION WITHOUT HAVING TO PLUG IN THE 20 AMP FUSE. EVEN MY BRIGHT LIGHTS NEED THE FUSED PLUG IN UNDER THE HOOD. *TR

I AM SMELLING GAS FUMES COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE AFTER DRIVING. I CAN HEAR FUEL DRIPPING ON THE EXHAUST WHEN I PARK THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY WHICH IS ON AN SLIGHT INCLINE. IF IT IS NOT DRIPPING ON THE EXHAUST IT'S DRIPPING ON SOMETHING HOT BECAUSE IT MAKES A SIZZLING SOUND. PLEASE HELP! SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN MY OPINION. LOTS OF CORVETTE OWNERS ARE DEALING WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

MY GM SERVICE REQUEST NUMBERB IS:[XXX].THE AUTOMATIC GEAR SELECTOR LEVER OCCASIONALLY GOT STUCK IN PARK (P) AND TOOK A LONG DANGEROUS TIME TO GET IT WORKED LOOSE AND FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I LIVED WITH IT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, BUT IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY MUCH WORSE AND MORE DANGEROUS. I SPOKE TO OTHER CORVETTE OWNERS AND FOUND OUT THAT I HAD A COMMON SAFETY PROBLEM FOR MY MODEL. I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THAT SOLD IT TO ME (MOUNTAIN VIEW CHEVROLET) WHO SAID THEY HAD SEEN A LOT OF THIS DEFECT AND THEY THEN CHARGED ME NEARLY $600 TO CORRECT THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT. NOT RIGHT!!!! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED FROM THE GET-GO AND FIXED PROMPTLY WITHOUT CHARGE. UNABLE TO MOVE IN TRAFFIC, GET OUT OF THE WAY OF DANGER, OR OFF OF RAILWAY TRACKS IS A POTENTIAL KILLER. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

STRONG GASOLINE SMELL OUTSIDE AND INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN GAS TANK IS OVER 1/2 FULL. *TR

11/15/14 WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. ABOUT 30 MIN. INTO MY DRIVE NOTICED THAT MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. PULLED OVER TO TRY SWITCHING LIGHTS ON AND OFF. STILL WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LIGHTS WORKED. HAD TO DRIVE 15 MIN. WITH FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS ON. 12/7/14 DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT NIGHT,15 MIN. DRIVE TO GET HOME. 10 MIN. IN LOW BEAMS GO OUT. SO I DROVE HOME WITH FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS ON AGAIN. *TR

THERES A STRONG GAS SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF CAR AFTER EVERY GAS FILL UP. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V251000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING). HOWEVER, THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY FAILED. THE DRIVER HAD TO USE THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS IN ORDER TO VIEW THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V2510000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , EXTERIOR LIGHTING) BUT A NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

YELLOW CONNECTOR UNDER DRIVERS SEAT LOST CONTINUITY. AIRBAGS WERE DISABLED. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE BEGAN SMELLING OF FUEL UPON FILL-UP ON 8/15/2014. CHEVROLET DEALER IN CARY, NC CLAIMED TO HAVE DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AND CHARGED FOR DIAGNOSTIC FEE, SAID END RESULT WAS FAULTY FUEL CAP SO IT WAS REPLACED. TOTAL FOR THIS WAS $42.08. UPON NEXT FILL-UP, THE SMELL PERSISTED WITHOUT ANY CHANGE FROM BEFORE DIAGNOSIS AT CHEVROLET DEALER. APPROXIMATELY 7 WEEKS LATER, FUEL SMELL HAD WORSENED SLIGHTLY AND ALSO THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A "CHATTERING" SOUND. SINCE CHEVROLET DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE FUEL SMELL ISSUE CORRECTLY, I CHOSE A HIGHLY REPUTABLE INDEPENDENT SHOP AND THEY IMMEDIATELY FOUND THE PROBLEMS. THE "CHATTERING" SOUND WAS A FAULTY HARMONIC BALANCER, A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CHEVROLET CORVETTE ENGINES AND COST ~$1,100 TO REPAIR USING CHEVROLET PARTS. THE FUEL SMELL WAS DUE TO A CRACKED DRIVER SIDE FUEL TANK (CORVETTES USE TWO FUEL TANKS) WHICH WAS EASILY FOUND BY THIS INDEPENDENT SHOP ONCE THE CAR WAS LIFTED. THE FACTORY-INSTALLED DRIVER SIDE FUEL TANK HAD SHRUNK AND CRACKED, TRAPPING THE FUEL PUMP INSIDE, THUS FORCING THE TANK AND PUMP TO BE REPLACED, ALONG WITH ALL RELATED SEALS AND PARTS. TOTAL TO REPAIR THESE FUEL RELATED ISSUES WAS ~2,700, FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF $3,803.27. UPON PERFORMING FURTHER RESEARCH, MANY CORVETTE OWNERS HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM--DRIVER SIDE FUEL TANK CRACKS OVER TIME AND EVERY ONLINE REFERENCE FOUND INDICATES THAT GM COVERS THE ISSUE. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THAT I ONLY HAD A 2-YEAR/24-MONTH WARRANTY ON THES

WHEN I START THE CAR ON THE DASH A WARNING APPEARS "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM" I READ IN THE OWNERS BOOK I LOOSE HANDLING CONTROL AND OTHER PROBLEMS THE DEALER IS NO HELP? *TR

MY CAR IS SUBJECT TO A RECALL FOR THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS, AND CHEVY (THE MANUFACTURER) WILL NOT FIX IT. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN FIX IT BY REPLACING THE FUSE BOX, BUT CHEVY WILL NOT AUTHORIZE IT. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR OVER A MONTH. THE DEALER GAVE ME LOANER CAR, AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT. HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY CAR BACK. I AM GETTING ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE WITH CHEVY, THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS WITH RESPECT TO THE DEALER. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CORVETTE AND THE "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM" LIGHT COMES ON. I WENT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND HE WAS OF LITTLE HELP. THE CURRENT INVESTIGATION NUMBER IS EA09-002. IS THERE NOW OR WILL THERE BE IN THE FUTURE A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND EVEN A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE MATTER. *TR

WHEN MAKING A SLOW LEFT TURN THE FRONT BRAKES ON THE CAR LOCKED UP. "SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM" MESSAGE CAN ON. CAR WOULDN'T GO OVER 5-6 MPH UNTIL SYSTEM WAS TURNED OFF. *TR

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS (LEFT/RIGHT) HAVE INTERMITTENT OUTAGES AFTER THE CAR WARMS UP. THE LOW BEAMS FAIL WITHOUT WARNING LEAVING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE VEHICLE AND OPERATE THE VEHICLE DURING EVENING, DUSK AND NIGHT DRIVING. *TR

LOW BEAMS SUDDENLY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING AND WON'T COME BACK ON.ALL FUSES, RELAYS, AND SWITCHES HAVE BEEN TESTED AND FOUND TO BE GOOD. *TR

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY AS YOU DRIVE. SPEED REALLY HAS NO EFFECT ON WHEN. HAS COME ON/OFF AS LOW AS 20MPH OR AS HIGH AS 80MPH. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. ORIGINAL PROBLEM WAS IN 2009 WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER ON THE FREEWAY. FUEL GAUGE INDICATED FUEL IN THE TANK, BUT IT WAS EMPTY. HAD VEHICLE TOWED AND REFUELED. FROM THAT TIME TO THE PRESENT, FUEL GAUGE HAS NEVER BEEN ACCURATE. SINCE 2013, THE FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL. *TR

TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT TO REVERSE OR PARK WHEN I WANT TO PARK THE CAR. CHEVY DEALER DID TEMP. FIX IN APRIL 2014 (OUT OF TOWN AND EXTENDED PERIOD TO GET PART). PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN JULY 2014. I CAN DRIVE THE CAR AND WHEN PARKED I SIMPLY PARK WHERE I CAN DRIVE FORWARD AND APPLY THE HAND BRAKE AS IT WILL RESTART IN NEUTRAL. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON INTERMITTENTLY. *JS

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION, ALL OF SUDDEN MY FRONT BREAKS LOCKED UP. THIS SCARES ME WHAT IF I AM ON THE HIGHWAY. *JS

THIS CAR INTERMITTENTLY LOCKS THE STEERING COLUMN. NO REASON. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AT SPEED. *TR

AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO MILES I STOPPED THE CAR TO PARK. AFTER STOPPING, THE SHIFTING CONTROL LEVER WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE OR PARK. THE SHIFTER SAFETY SYSTEM IN THE LEVER FAILED. *TR

FOLLOWING A HIGH PERFORMANCE DRIVER EDUCATION EVENT, MY 2007 CORVETTE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED (APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH) ON A 2-LANE COUNTY ROAD, WITH THE FIRE ORIGINATING IN THE AREA SURROUNDING THE PASSENGER REAR (RIGHT REAR) WHEEL WELL. AS SOON AS I WAS AWARE OF THE FIRE, I STOPPED THE CAR, SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE, AND OBSERVED THE FIRE ON THE TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION AND GEARBOX FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. I OBTAINED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND ATTEMPTED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE BY DEPLOYING THE CONTENTS BENEATH THE CAR ON THE AREA OF VISIBLE FLAME. I WAS UNABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE UNDER THE FIRST ATTEMPT AND I BEGAN TO REMOVE THE REAR CARPETING FROM THE VEHICLE IN THE REAR HATCH AND TRUNK AREA AS THE CARPET HAD BEGAN TO SMOLDER. A SECOND FIRE EXTINGUISHER WAS BROUGHT TO THE SCENE AND THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT. THE FIRE HAD CONSUMED A 2" X 6" SECTION OF THE HATCH (TRUNK) FLOOR, WHICH HAD MELTED ONTO THE REAR EXHAUST PIPE. AFTER THE CAR WAS TOWED HOME AND PUT UP ON JACK STANDS, IT APPEARS THAT THE CHARCOAL CANISTER AND SECTIONS OF THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM WERE CONSUMED IN THE FIRE. IT IS INCONCLUSIVE IN MY OBSERVATION IF THESE COMPONENTS WERE CAUSAL TO THE FIRE OR MERELY CONSUMED IN THE FLAMES. MUCH OF THE REAR WIRING SURROUNDING THE DIFFERENTIAL AND TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN DESTROYED BY THE FIRE. THERE ARE ALSO VISIBLE REMNANTS OF LIQUID "DRIPS" ON THE RIGHT REAR EXHAUST PIPE TRAVELLING OVER THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BUT NO CONCLUSIVE SOURCE OF THE LIQUID WAS FOUND. I WOULD LIKE TO E

ACTIVE HANDLING CAME ON AND CAR PULLED TO THE RIGHT. *TR
