2015 Chevrolet Corvette

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.

Incident Jun 8, 2023

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.

Incident Mar 28, 2023

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.

Incident Sep 20, 2022

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.

Incident Mar 1, 2021

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.

Incident Jun 25, 2015

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).

Incident Apr 5, 2022

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.

Incident Dec 28, 2021

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.

Incident Jan 21, 2022

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 to file the recall in a timely manner with known issues as early as 2014 resulting in my vehicle not being repaired prior to the accident. I believe this to be a Repose Statute in Colorado that is 6 years from incident and would like to file a claim against the dealer and GM for failure to properly notify of recall. failure to notify me of the recall is negligence which resulted in permanent injury and impairment as well as continued medical care which could have been prevented.

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

Incident Oct 22, 2021

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.

Incident Apr 1, 2021

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.

Incident Jul 1, 2020

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.

Incident Apr 22, 2021

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 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

Incident May 22, 2016

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.

Incident Feb 21, 2021

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.

Incident Oct 7, 2020

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.

Incident Nov 15, 2016

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.

Incident Jun 1, 2020

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

Incident Sep 19, 2020

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.

Incident Aug 15, 2020

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.

Incident Oct 1, 2020

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.

Incident Sep 7, 2020

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.

Incident Apr 26, 2020

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.

Incident Mar 1, 2020

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.

Incident Jul 31, 2019

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.

Incident Jul 11, 2019

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

Incident May 31, 2018

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.

Incident Feb 18, 2019

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.

Incident Jan 8, 2018

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.

Incident Nov 21, 2018

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.

Incident Sep 14, 2018

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.

Incident Aug 17, 2018

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.

Incident Aug 10, 2018

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 STINGRAY WAS $75,000 OTD! FOR THIS COST WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXPECT A QUALITY VEHICLE AND A MOTOR COMPANY THAT STANDS BEHIND IT! CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGERIOUS PROBLEM?

Incident Mar 22, 2016

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 ? I AM SCHEDULING ANOTHER SERVICE AT (13000 MILES). A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET WILL FILL YOU FULL OF FACTS ON THESE FAILURES.
