2015 Chevrolet Corvette

Defect. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse and Chevrolet Spark EV, Caprice PPV and SS vehicles, 2014-2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, Trax, Suburban and Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles, and 2015-2017 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles. While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.

Risk. A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 17287.

In the event of a driver frontal air bag deployment, the driver air bag module back plate may fracture, allowing the driver air bag to separate from the steering wheel.

Risk. An air bag that separates from the steering wheel may increase the risk of injury to the driver in the event of a crash.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver side air bag, free of charge. The recall began on October 29, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14594.

Defect. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured August 20, 2014, to September 4, 2014. In the affected vehicles, only one of the rear parking brake cables may be fully seated and engaged, resulting in the parking brake only operating on one of the rear park brake drums. Without the parking brake working on both rear wheels, the vehicle may roll away if parked on a steep gradient. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."

Risk. If the parking brake cable isn't fully seated and engaged on both of the rear park brake drums, the vehicle may roll away if parked on a steep gradient, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the park brake cable installation, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on October 31, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14620.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while the vehicle was on a trailer dynamometer machine, a plastic piece at the bottom of the accelerator pedal fractured. The accelerator pedal slid up and became stuck in the full-throttle position and had to be manually returned to the normal position. The contact stated the engine overheated, and the stop button failed to turn off the vehicle. The ABS and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed back to the residence. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

When C7 Stingray Corvette in the garage with the door closed, there is a strong smell of fuel coming from the vehicle, this problem started around July, 2025.... I have owed the vehicle for 3 years never a problem until now.

Driving down interstate at 74 MPH when engine acted like it wasn't accelerating and I was able to get off on an exit when car died had to have it towed to a chevrolet dealership. Engine wouldn't turn over at all. So Chevrolet did a visual inspection and said a valve spring on #8 cylinder had broke and they needed to tear into it further. So for another $1160.00 they would tear the engine down further to see what damage had been done. Chevrolet never notified me that they had a TSB on valve spring issue. Now my engine is no good. General Motors will give no assistance on repair. My engine shut down at 74 mph no longer running on an interstate.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced severe shuddering and vibration while accelerating from a stationary position and while driving at slower speeds. The cause of the failure has not yet been determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was provided with information of a TSB related to the failure. No further information was available. The failure mileage was 13,000.

Torque converter shudder and noise (definitely and issue related transmission). Around 1,500 RPM the vehicle starts to experience the shudder, shaking, and noise. Additionally there is a feeling of a surge in power, like if the vehicle shifts to an upper gear un intentionally, the vehicle launches forward occasionally (lurching forward). There is absolutely no issue while the vehicle idles, not at low or high RPM. The issue only occurs while the vehicle is in motion and at around 1,500 RPM. Using a V4 to V8 delete (Range Technology RA003B AFM/DFM Disabler) helps the issue significantly but it's still an issue. If that disabler is removed the issue is extremely pronounced. I purchased this vehicle as a used vehicle. I wouldn't have purchased the vehicle if I had the slightest idea of such a major issue with the vehicle.

The factory supplied OEM GM wheels on this vehicle are cracking in the rims. This is not due to striking any road hazards whatsoever, there is simply a manufacturing defect within the wheel itself. My vehicle is a 2015, but only has 23000 miles on it. My rear left tire developed an air leak which was the initial hint that something was wrong. The crack was confirmed as the cause by my auto shop. I had this repaired via a weld, but the future structural soundness of the wheel is suspect. The shop has repaired many Corvette wheels like mine and most have come back again for the same problem. I had the other wheels inspected and found out the left front wheel is cracked as well. I am replacing the wheels with mono block forged wheels from an aftermarket supplier at my own expense due to having no confidence in the GM wheels. A wheel coming apart at high speed is an obvious safety hazard to myself and others on the road. GM is shirking any responsibility for this manufacturing defect. There are thousands of threads about this issue all over the Corvette forums. It is shameful that a vehicle that costs over six figures should have this issue. I have never had this sort of problem with any other vehicle I have ever owned throughout the decades, not even entry level vehicles. This really should be a safety recall.

I currently have a cracked but now welded rim that is off my 2015 Z06 Corvette. This rim is cracked due to a manufacture defect. This is now a known issue and yet to be resolved but this is definitely a safety issue when driving down the road.

There is a strong gas smell when my vehicle is parked in the home garage. The smell is very strong on the rear tire area on the driver's side of the vehicle. I contacted Gunn Chevrolet and will drop the car off 8 September 2023. There are no warning lights for this issue on the vehicle. There are several bulletins on gas leaks on C7 corvettes. Here is one bulletin: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6

I own a 2015 Corvette Z06 and I had new tires put on last week and the shop found a crack in the rear passenger side wheel. I had to buy a replacement wheel before i could drive it again, since it could have lost air in the tire at any time, which is not safe. This is a common problem with this vechicle.

There has been a lawsuit in reference to the lifters in alot of GM cars. Now my 2015 corvette has the same issue. The bad lifter.

Infotainment screen intermittanly flickers or goes black during the backing of the vehicle. Rear backup camera shows object on screen when in reverse, then flickers or goes black. Cannot see blind spot with rear or side mirrors, such as children on sidewalk directly behind the vehicle where not in view of side mirrors and too low to see in the rear view. Seems to be a KNOWN problem with Chevy Corvette's and the problem with screen flickering or black out.

Driver display not working. (cable issue) Known issue with the c7 corvette. Can't see navigation, radio display, backup camera display and car settings. started out intermittant then permanent.

Chevy C7 corvettes have an issue with the center screen that project he backup camera. Due to the screen retracts, the cabling wears out and causes the camera to flicker or go blank. It seems the part to repair has been discontinued. This represents a safety hazard for all C7 corvettes since the part is label discontinued and the camera is much needed to back to car up safely without causing injury or property damage.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that he noticed a crack at the top of the front driver’s side windshield. The contact then stated that over time the crack expanded with several other cracks being formed on the passenger’s side of the windshield. The manufacture was notified of the issue and informed the contact that the vehicle was out of warranty. The manufacturer suggested that the vehicle be taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be duplicated. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving, he heard a crackling sound on the passenger’s side of the windshield while driving over bumps in the roadway. The manufacturer was notified a second time of the failure and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 24,000.

The entire dash went dark, there was no display of the odometer, symbols for system IE lights, oil pressure, tachometer, and no display on the screen where the radio or navigation selections are made. This began upon car being started. Turning off engine and restarting did not resolve. Car was drivable but not safely as speed could not be monitored.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle started to overheat. The contact pulled over and turned off the vehicle to allow the vehicle to cool down. The vehicle was able to cool down and then operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the radiator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not under recall. The contact was referred to the NHTSA for assistance. The failure mileage was 12,000.

I have a 2015 z51 corvette and my windshield has a crack in it.I called Chevrolet and they said never heard that before.I have seen at least a hundred different people talking about the same incident.I feel GM should be having a recall for safety reasons.It is not a stone chip it is a crack from the top on the inside. I feel this is very unsafe and GM is just not addressing the he problem.Thank you for your time. [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The computer isn't allowing me to check off the other issues. The brakes were the other thing that couldn't be checked off. The vehicle went off the road and the brakes locked and now the vehicle is totaled. Had I been notified about these recalls this would not have happened.

The transmission flutters when shifting on my 2015 Corvette. A potential catastrophic failure could cause a fire from transmission fluid hitting the hot exhaust. General Motors is aware of the issue and has issued a TSB. I believe a potential fire and or collision exists if transmission fluid spills on the pavement. transmission fluid could cause spinouts of vehicles on road behind a car with failure. My vehicle has been experiencing this for the last couple months. Two different dealerships offer to change the fluid in the transmission but no guarantee the internal components have sustained damage.

Previous claim w/NHTSA was filed on wrong vehicle. I am filing this complaint so that it can be associated to the correct vehicle. I was in a passenger side and rear collision resulting in serious injury and permanent impairment which resulted in a total loss of the vehicle and multiple surgeries as well as prolonged and continued impairments and care. I was struck in the passenger side door by a truck crossing 3 lanes into my 4th lane as i sat idol at a stop light, the extreme impact blew holes in the side walls of my tires. i was pushed me into the median in which i ricocheted off of and was hit a second time by the same truck tearing into the hatch and bending the frame of the vehicle declared a total loss. not one of the airbags deployed and the seat belt failed to restrain me. resulting in severe whiplash, TBI, torn rotator cuff and bicep tear, permanent loss of hearing in my right ear and a cranial fracture, back and neck injuries, hip and intestinal blockage(twisted). At the time of the accident NHTSA, dealer and GM ran VIN due to the suspicion of air bags and seatbelt failure there were no known recalls on my vehicle or VIN at the time. the first time i was notified VIN was confirmed on recall due to the vehicle being left in "test" mode was 8/13/2020 which i immediately filed a claim with report of injury related accident with corporate and they opened a claim and 30 days later stated that my claim was outside of the 3 yr statute of limitations. GM and dealer failed

2015 CHEVROLET CORVETTER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO STRESS CRACKS IN WINDSHIELD.

Bad valve springs across many GM vehicles. I am not the only one that has had broken valve springs. I am well under the miles for this issue to occur.

THE WINDSHIELD IN THE C7 CORVETTES CRACK FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE, AND IT SEEMS THAT GM/CHEVROLET IS COMPLETELY IGNORING IT. SEE MORE INFO HERE: HTTPS://WWW.CORVETTEFORUM.COM/FORUMS/C7-GENERAL-DISCUSSION/3946004-2016-Z06-WINDSHIELD-CRACK-IS-IT-COMMON.HTML A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH ( CORVETTE WINDSHIELD CRACKS FROM INSIDE ) AND YOU WILL FIND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. APPARENTLY, THERE IS SOME KIND OF WELDING/MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAUSES RUBBING ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING THEM TO CRACK. THIS CAN OBSTRUCT THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER AND IS UNSAFE. MY CAR HAS DONE THE SAME THING. WHEN CONTACTING THE DEALER, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NOT A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN AND SO IT WILL BE OUT-OF-POCKET REPAIR AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

A SMALL CRACK DEVELOPED ON THE INSIDE RIM OF ONE OF MY REAR WHEELS AS I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN "LOW TIRE PRESSURE" CAME UP ON MY SCREEN. . I WAS 500 MILES FROM HOME WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE TIRE WAS LEAKING. I WENT TO A LOCAL TIRE DEALER. HE DISCOVERED THE CRACK AND SAID THAT IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 5 DAYS TO GET A REPLACEMENT. I NEEDED TO GET HOME SO HE PUT SOME STICKY TIRE GOO ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CRACK AND INFLATED THE TIRE TO 50 PSI. AFTER ABOUT 400 MILES ON MY TRIP HOME, THE PRESSURE WAS ABOUT 24 PSI. I INFLATED IT BACK TO 45 PSI AND MADE IT HOME SAFELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, A 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRAGGED SEVERAL FEET AND WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT LOT. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WAS NO REPORTED FIRE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD AND EARS THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED THE VEHICLE A TOTAL LOSS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V651000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS) AFTER THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. * (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

WINDSHIELD MOUNTING STRESS CRACK. WHILE INSIDE MY GARAGE TODAY, I FOUND A LARGE 25 INCH LONG CRACK IN THE UPPER DRIVERS SIDE CORNER OF MY 2015 CORVETTE. UPON INSPECTION THE CRACK IS ON THE INSIDE LAYER OF THE 2 LAYER GLASS. NOTHING FELL ON THE CAR AND I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT FOR 6 MONTHS. BEING FRIENDS WITH OTHER CORVETTE OWNERS, I SPOKE WITH THEM AND WAS SENT TO THE 'CORVETTEFORUM ' ONLINE. I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF CAR. WHILE SOME OWNERS ARE COVERED FOR REPLACEMENT BY GM DEALERSHIPS UNDER WARRANTY. MANY OWNERS ARE NOT COVERED EVEN THO THEY HAVE VERY LOW MILEAGE. MY CAR, 6 YEARS OLD AND 27,000 MILES. THE FORUMS DISCUSSES OWNERS DISMAY AND SAFETY CONCERNS, AND HOW COULD SO MANY CORVETTE C7S HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, AND GM NOT ISSUING A RECALL OR SOMETHING TO HELP ALL THE OWNERS. THESE CRACKING WINDSHIELDS POSE A SAFETY AND LEGAL ISSUE IF DRIVEN. IT IS NOT AN ACT OF GOD THAT CAUSED THE CRACKS, BUT A MISALIGNED GUIDE PIN OR TAB IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE GLASS GM DESIGNED INTO THE CAR. I LIKE GM, AND WOULD LIKE THEM TO LIKE ME TOO. THAT MUTUAL RESPECT IS TRULY WHAT THIS WORLD NEEDS NOW.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AT A CONSTANT HIGHWAY SPEED, 40 TO 70 MPH,ANY ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION, CAUSES THE CAR TO VIBRATE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE, AT TIMES, DURING THE 'SHUDDER' EVENT, THE CAR WILL LUNGE FORWARD.GM HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS 'SHUDDER' AND HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN. THE FIX THEY RECOMMEND IS A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND FILL WITH AN UPGRADED TRANSMISSION FLUID. I AM ASSUMING THE OEM FLUID IS DEFECTIVE. THIS CONDITION IS NOT AN ISOLATED EVENT. IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVER TIME SPEED IS ACCELERATED OR DECELERATED. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 5600 MILES.

SLOW DOWN SHIFT. WHEN YOU HIT THE ACCELERATOR WHILE THE CAR IS DOWN SHIFTING, THERE IS A 2 SECOND DELAY. I CAME OFF EXPRESS WAY AND TURNED ON TO ROAD THEN HIT THE GAS TO MERGE INTO A LANE WHEN THERE WAS A 2 SECOND DELAY. VERY DANGEROUS. HOW DO I FIX PROBLEM? WHY IS CHEVROLET NOT FIXING PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2015 CORVETTE STINGRAY WITH 35K MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES ALREADY ONCE AT 11K MILES AND SECOND TIME AT 22K MILES WHERE THE CAR SHOULD SHUDDER WHILE CRUISING AT LOW SPEEDS. ALSO IN THE MORNING DURING A COLD START WHEN I WOULD SHIFT THE CAR FROM PARK INTO REVERSE THEN THE CAR WOULD DO A HARD SHIFT. TWICE THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION AND REBUILT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION SINCE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. BUT MY CAR'S EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED ON 03/01/20, IN 06/01/20 THE ISSUE CAME BACK. NOW GM IS REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THE VEHICLE. WHEN REFUELING, TANK FILLER PIPE ACCEPTS FUEL ONLY VERY SLOWLY. SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATION PUMPS WERE TRIED, ALL KEPT CLICKING OFF EVERY 3 SECONDS (AS IF TANK WAS FULL). TANK WAS EMPTY TO TAKE IN SEVERAL MORE GALLONS OF FUEL.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND, INTERMITTENT SHUDDER EVERY 2 TO 3 SECONDS WHEN DRIVING DOWN ROAD AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS COMING FROM TRANSMISSION

2015 Z06 CORVETTE CRACKED 3 REAR WHEELS (20" DIAMETER). ONE AT 24,000 MILES, ONE AT 30,000 MILES AND ONE AT 40,000 MILES. CAR IS ONLY DRIVEN TO WORK ON INTERSTATE QUALITY ROADS. NO IN TOWN DRIVING. ALL WHEEL CRACKED ON THE INSIDE. THE CRACKS STARTED AT THE OUTER EDGE, DOWN THE RIM, THEN TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL. WHEN THE CRACK PROPAGATED PAST THE OUTER BEAD OF THE TIRE, THE WHEEL STARTED LEAKING AIR. I HAVE TWO OF THE CRACKED WHEELS PRESENTLY. NONE OF THE WHEELS ARE BENT.

A8 TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. HAD FLUID CHANGE AT 10305 MILES. AT 10881 MILES PROBLEM IS NOW WORSE THAN BEFORE. WARRANTY IS NOW EXPIRED . HOPEFULLY GM HAS A REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2015 CORVETTE. HAVE OWNED FIVE CORVETTE. THIS MAY BE THE LAST ONE GM NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.

WHEN REFUELING, TANK FILLER PIPE ACCEPTS FUEL ONLY VERY SLOWLY. SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATION PUMPS WERE TRIED, ALL KEPT CLICKING OFF EVERY 3 SECONDS (AS IF TANK WAS FULL). TANK EVENTUALLY TOOK AN ADDITIONAL 7 OR 8 GALLONS, BUT IT TOOK 8 OR 10 MINUTES TO ACCOMPLISH THAT.

TSB 18-NA-355 - VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A SHAKE AND/OR SHUDDER DURING LIGHT THROTTLE ACCELERATION BETWEEN 25 AND 80 MPH (40 AND 128 KM/H) STEADY STATE DRIVING WHEN TRANSMISSION IS NOT ACTIVELY SHIFTING GEARS. THE EXPERIENCE IS SIMILAR TO DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS OR A CONCRETE ROAD SURFACE WITH ROUGH EXPANSION JOINTS. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR, BUT THEY ARE STATING THE WARRANTY ENDED IN JANUARY AND REQUIRING ME TO PAY FOR THE FIX. WILL JOIN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

WHEEL RIM CRACK AT BEAD AND LEAKS AIR. IT A WIDELY KNOW ISSUE, AND I HAVE BECOME A STATISTIC. I HAVE READ THERE MAY BE A CLASS ACTION AGAINST GM FOR SUCH ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN 8L90 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. IT HAS A SEVERE SHUDDER PROBLEM WHEN CRUISING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 TO 70 MPH. CAN GET ALMOST UNDRIVABLE. ALSO WILL NOT UPSHIFT AFTER A PERFORMANCE DOWNSHIFT. DEALER FLUSHED TRANSMISSION PER GM BULLETIN BUT PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. LOOKS LIKE ALMOST ALL OF GM 8 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS HAVE THIS PROBLEM CIRCA 2015-2016.

EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME WEIRD CRACKED WHEEL THAT MANY OTHER C7 OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED ON 7/11/19. NO SPECIFIC POTHOLE. JUST CRACKED WHEEL WHICH LOOKS LIKE ALL THE OTHERS ON THE CORVETTE FORUM.

CRACKED REAR WHEELS ON BOTH SIDES. NOTICED BECAUSE OF AIR LEAK AFTER LONG TRIP.

SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYED (SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN BLAST IN THE CABIN) WITHOUT PROVOCATION. NO ACCIDENT, DID NOT RUN OVER ANYTHING, ETC. GOING STRAIGHT ~45MPH ON AN EMPTY STREET AT 12:50AM. SMOKE BILLOWING OUT OF THE CABIN OF MY CAR, ALL THE LIGHTS WERE ON, BELLS WERE RINGING, ETC. IT'S AS IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE! GM SAID IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM.

BOTH OF MY OEM REAR WHEELS (SPECTRA GRAY - 10 SPOKE), HAVE DEVELOPED CRACKS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT AT MY EXPENSE. DESPITE MY CORVETTE BEING ON WARRANTY AND A HIGH PERFORMANCE, SPORTS CAR WHICH IS REGULARLY SERVICED, THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPLACE THESE WHEELS, EXCEPT AT MY EXPENSE, CITING THAT POOR ROAD CONDITIONS IN CALIFORNIA ARE BLAME FOR THE FRACTURES, RUNNING HORIZONTALLY ON THE RIM LIP. THE FRACTURES CREATE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION GIVEN HIGH TORQUE LEVELS, LOW PROFILE TIRES WITH A WIDE STANCE. THE TIRES AND THE SUSPENSION ARE DESIGNED FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE, AND HIGH G FORCE, BUT WHEELS ARE APPARENTLY FLAWED FOR THE DESIGNED TOLERANCES IMPOSED BY DRIVING A HIGH PERFORMANCE CORVETTE. MY CAR RAPIDLY LOSS AIR PRESSURE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND THE AIR PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ACTIVATED IN BOTH OCCASIONS, WARNING OF THE HAZARDOUS CONDITION.

I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT TWICE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET WITH THIS CAR. SHIFTING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS COLD INTO 2ND GEAR FROM 1ST GEAR IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE AND APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM BASED ON MY INTERNET SEARCH. SEVERAL TIMES I'VE PULLED INTO TRAFFIC AND COULDN'T SHIFT IT INTO 2ND GEAR. BY THEN THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN WITH TRAFFIC BEARING DOWN ON IT AND YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN EVEN MORE TO GO BACK TO 1ST GEAR. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS NORMAL BUT I DISAGREE BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TO REV THE ENGINE HIGHER AND GO DIRECTLY INTO THIRD GEAR TO PROTECT MY LIFE.

WHEN I TOOK THE CAR INTO A DISCOUNT TIRE STORE TO HAVE NEW TIRES PUT ON THE BACK AT ABOUT 15,600 MILES ON THE CAR CRACKS WERE FOUND ON THE INSIDE RIM WHERE TIRE BEAD SEALS OF BOTH BACK WHEELS. PROBLEM WAS IMMEDIATELY REPORTED TO DEALER WHO VERIFIED CRACKS, BUT DEALER AND GM REFUSED TO REPLACE UNLESS I PURCHASE NEW WHEELS FOR DISCOUNTED PRICE OF $1,100.00 FOR REAR WHEELS ONLY. SPOKE WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF GM ENGINEERING AND FOUND PROBLEM IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH REAR WHEEL CRACKING GOING BACK SEVERAL YEARS WITH CAST CHINA MADE WHEELS ON CORVETTE Z06 AND ZR1 MODELS. I WAS TOLD GM CORVETTE CHIEF ENGINEER HAS POSTED INFORMATION ON THE WHEEL CRACKING PROBLEM ON CORVETTE FORUM AND ONLY WAY TO NOT HAVE WHEEL CRACKING PROBLEM ON REPLACEMENT WHEELS WOULD BE TO NOT DRIVE ON ROADS WITH BUMPS OR POT HOLES. THEY AGREED THIS WAS NOT REALISTIC BUT GM STANDS FIRM ON PAYMENT FOR NEW WHEELS WITH NO ASSURANCE THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. MY COMPLAINT WAS CLOSED AT GM AS CUSTOMER DECLINED REDUCED PRICE OFFER AND IS DISSATISFIED. CRACKING WHEELS SHOULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND ESPECIALLY WITH CARS THAT HAVE THIS MUCH POWER TO THE WHEELS AND ARE CAPABLE OF THE SPEEDS THESE MODEL CARS CAN OBTAIN. THIS IS TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE OF GM TO ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN AND NOT RECALL THE WHEELS AND REPLACE THEM WITH ONES THAT DO NOT CRACK, ESPECIALLY ON CARS WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE.

WINDSHIELD IS DELAMINATING. DELAMINATION HAS CAUSED A STRESS CRACK TO DEVELOP. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF A STONE OR OTHER PROJECTILE IMPACTING THE WINDSHIELD. THESE CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN VERIFIED BY THE CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AFTER INSPECTION BY THE SERVICE LANE MANAGER AND THE SERVICE DIRECTOR. CONDITION NOTICED WHEN WASHING THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SUSPENSION COLLAPSED TO THE STREET. THIS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 40MPH. WE WERE TRAVELING ON HWY 24 NE IN COLORADO SPRINGS HEADING TO HOME NEAR KANSAS CITY. AS DESCRIBED IN A RE CALL WITH 43 OTHER CORVETTES THE RECALL NOTICE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V031000. BUT OUR 2015 WAS BUILT ON AUG 12 2014 AND IS NOT INCLUDED. WE HAD JUST COMPLETED AN 8 DAY DRIVE THROUGH MANY COLORADO MOUNTAIN ROADS WHICH WITH THIS KIND OF FAILURE WOULD CERTAINLY HAD THE POTENTIAL OF KILLING MY WIFE AND ME. WE ARE EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED AT A LOW SPEED IN A STRAIGHT LINE. SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED WE HAD A SUSPENSION UPGRADE SOFTWARE ONLY ON OUR CORVETTE. WE DID HAVE SOME SYMPTOMS OF EXTRA SWAY WHEN ROUNDING CORNERS, BUT WHEN WE PUT THE DRIVE MODE TO TRACK THIS WENT AWAY. HAD WE KNOWN THAT THE SYMPTOMS WERE NOT RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE WE WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE CORVETTE TO A DEALER WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION.

2015 CORVETTE STINGRAY Z51 - 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER. WITH ONLY 7,500 MILES ON THE CAR IT STARTED TO RUN JERKY AND RPMS WOULD FLUCTUATE FOR NO REASON (ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN FULLY WARMED UP). OFTEN FELT LIKE DRIVING ON A WASHBOARD DIRT ROAD. AFTER A COLD START, THERE WAS A DELAY AFTER SHIFTING INTO DRIVE. WHEN IT ENGAGED AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS IT WOULD DO SO VIOLENTLY, LURCHING THE CAR FORWARD SUDDENLY. DEALER DIAGNOSED FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER AS DEFECTIVE AND A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. AFTER LESS THAN 2,000 MILES THE SYMPTOMS RETURNED AND THE DEALER AGAIN REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER. SO NOW I'M ON MY 3RD DEFECTIVE TC. AFTER 1,700 MILES, SYMPTOMS RETURNED AGAIN! DEALER SAID THAT CHEVROLET AND GM HAVE ORDERED A STOP ON REPLACING THE TC'S SINCE NO FIX WAS AVAILABLE. GM ADVISED TO DRAIN AND FLUSH TRANNY, REFILLING WITH MOBIL1 TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS SEEMED TO WORK (ONLY FOR A LITTLE LONGER) BUT IS WORRISOME BECAUSE IN THE FUTURE SERVICE, A TECHNICIAN WILL LIKELY REFILL WITH GM FLUID, NOT MOBIL1. ESPECIALLY IF A SECOND OWNER. NOW AT 16,100 MILES THE SYMPTOMS ARE RETURNING! JERKINESS, SLAMMING INTO GEAR AFTER A DELAY ON COLD STARTS. GM SEEMS TO HAVE TURNED THEIR BACK ON STINGRAY OWNERS BY KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD BEYOND WARRANTEE (WITH THE MOBIL1 "BAND-AID FIX"). ON THE FORUMS THERE ARE SO MANY OWNER COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. I AM AMAZED THAT THERE IS NO OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION RESULTING IN A RECALL. THIS Z51 LT3 STI

I HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT DAN VADEN CHEVROLET IN SAVANNAH, GA ON 16 OCT 2017 AT (12,200 MILES). MY MAIN CONCERN WAS A SHUDDER AND JERKY MOTION THE CAR STARTS DEMONSTRATING WHILE IN MOTION, ACCOMPANIED BY FLUCTUATING ENGINE RPMS. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE 1000'S OF ISSUES WITH THESE TORQUE CONVERTERS AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ACCIDENTS THESE FAILURES HAVE CAUSED. THERE SHOULD BE A TOTAL RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS. A SERVICE DEPARTMENT TECHNICIAN TEST DROVE MY VEHICLE AND CONFIRMED AND DOCUMENTED MY CONCERNS AND STATED IT WAS OKAY TO DRIVE ?
