Purchased 3 weeks ago. Third time filling up and first time in the garage. Noticed the fuel tank is leaking at the pump due to defective plastic. Car only has 55k miles, this should not be an issue. Is Chevy going to fix this or am I out the 2k repair bill?

Oct 02, 2023

The fuel tank is leaking at the pump due to defective plastic. There should be a lot of reports of this happening on this vehicle and it is more dangerous than any other defect I have ever heard of.

Have a strong odor of gasoline coming from vehicle parked in garage. Have not noticed any gasoline in the garage floor, only the strong odor.

Nov 17, 2022

After filling up my gas tank in my 2010 Chevrolet Corvette I notice a strong gas smell that permeates through my entire garage and house. Upon investigation from an auto repair shop it has been determined I need to replace a faulty cracked fuel pump. Upon further investigation it seems there was a "Special Coverage Adjustment" from GM for this repair only for up to 120k miles. This should be a recall!!! as it is a very dangerous situation! So because I am over 120k , (just purchased from dealer) I am responsible for the 3k repair? That is 100% not acceptable. 15682 Primary Tank Module Flange Fuel and Vapor Leaks Copyright 2016 General Motors. Reference Number: N150682 Release Date: January 2017 GWM Number: 2015682

Mar 22, 2022

Upon filling the car to a full tank that is a strong gas smell that permeates the cab. This smell is persistent even while driving with the convertible top down. People driving behind me were are able to smell the gasoline vapors. The vapors and smell subside once I get below 3/4 tank of gas.

AIR BAGS

12 complaints

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. SEEMS TO ME ITS COULD BE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL, CAUSE IT DOESN'T STAY ON ALL THE TIME. SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BUT I'M THE 4TH OWNER OF THIS CORVETTE SO DONT KNOW IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND IT NEVER GOT FIXED. THANKS. IT COMES ON AND NO SET PATTERN FOR THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO COME ON. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T COME ON FOR A WEEK OR TWO AND SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON.

Oct 26, 2019

LAST WEEK THE RED AIR BAG LIGHT LOCATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON MY 2010 CORVETTE CAME ON INDICATING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE OPERATIONS OF MY AIR BAG, AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ITEM REQUIRED ON VEHICLES BY FEDERAL LAW. DOING SOME WEB RESEARCH, I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN #15643 DATED FOR VEHICLES REPAIRED ON OR AFTER 4/21/16. WHILE THE 10-PAGE NOTICE PROVIDES ALL THE DETAILS, IN SHORT, A CONNECTOR WAS DEFECTIVE. TAKING MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER TODAY, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLES PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A CONNECTOR THAT WAS UNPLUGGED, PROBABLY DUE TO SEAT MOVEMENT. SO, MY EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT G.M. IS COVERING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IT IS NOT COVERING THE EXACT PROBLEM ON THE PASSENGER SEAT? I AM CERTAIN THE CONNECTOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED BY THE SAME ENGINEER THAT DESIGNED THE ONE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I AM CERTAIN THEY WERE BOTH MANUFACTURED BY THE SAME VENDOR. I AM CERTAIN THE MATERIALS ARE THE SAME. THE RESULTING PROBLEM IS THE SAME. THE PASSENGER SIDE CONNECTOR PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND G.M. SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR.

POSSIBLE TAKATA AIR BAG MALFUNCTION, DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHEN I WENT TO PLACE TRANSMISSION IN REVERSE TO BACK THE CAR FROM DRIVEWAY. I HAD NOT MOVED WHEN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING SHOULDER AND NECK INJURIES TO OCCUR. THE ESCAPING GAS FROM THE AIR BAG BURNT THE HAIR OFF OF THE LEFT FOREARM.

Injuries: 1

AIRBAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY LIGHTS, WHEN I HAVENT ADJUSTED THE SEATS AND NOT SPEEDING. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURENCE WITH CORVETTE OWNERS. SAW IT A FEW TIMES BEFORE BUT IT STOPPED BEFORE I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERS FOR SERVICE.

Oct 13, 2016

FROM TIME TO TIME THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. IT WILL GO OFF IF I MOVE THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK AND FORTH A LITTLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG EVEN AFTER TAKING THE DRIVER'S SEAT OUT AND COMPLETELY RE-INSTALLING IT. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME AND MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE COME TO IGNORE THE LIGHT AND ONE OF THESE DAYS THE LIGHT WILL BE ON FOR A REASON AND I WILL IGNORE IT . I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MANY OTHER 2010 CORVETTE OWNERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT MY SUSPICION IS THAT THE ISSUE IS IN THE WIRING WHICH MAY BE GETTING PINCHED FROM TIME TO TIME AS THE SEAT MOVES BACK AND FORTH. *TR

POWER TRAIN

4 complaints

After an oil change at a Chevrolet dealer I drove to get gas. After refueling I got in and was preparing to drive away when I noticed the clutch pedal was on the floor and would not pop back up ready to be used. I had the car towed to the Chevrolet dealer where I learned the hydraulic clutch master cylinder had failed. I was lucky this didn’t happen while o was driving the car on the highway. I am not sure how that would have affected the drivability of the vehicle but it could have been very dangerous. I had received a letter from Chevrolet years earlier that described the problem and said if it happened within 10 years or 100,000 miles they would repair it. Mine failed after the 10 years but at only 8,500 miles. This system of not actually recalling the car for repair but instead issuing the owner a “notice”, doesn't seem fair for someone who doesn’t drive their vehicle many miles but is still costly and potentially dangerous when it occurs while the vehicle is being driven.

TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE END DISINTEGRATED, CAUSING SHIFT CABLE END TO DETACH FROM FLOOR SHIFTER, CAUSING INABILITY TO PLACE CAR IN PARK, INCREASING VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY AND CRASH.

BROKEN GEAR SHIFTER CABLE

Sep 10, 2018

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER CANNOT BE SHIFTED FROM ITS "PARK" POSITION UPON STARTING THE ENGINE AND TRYING TO DRIVE AWAY. APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO DISENGAGE FROM "PARK" POSITION OF SHIFTER STILL WON'T ALLOW LEVER TO BE MOVED FROM "PARK". THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT CAN'T BE COMPLETED TO ALLOW DISENGAGEMENT OF SHIFTER. THIS HAPPENS PERHAPS ONE OUT OF EVERY SIX OR SEVEN TIMES YOU WISH TO DRIVE THE CAR. ONE MUST SIT AND MAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OVER SEVERAL MINUTES TO FREE THE SHIFTER. VERY EMBARASSING IF YOU ARE IN A LINE OF CARS AT A GAS STATION OR FAST-FOOD TAKE-OUT LINE. MANY OTHER CORVETTE OWNERS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE FROM YEARS 2005 UP TO 2013.

At 85,000 miles the timing chain triggered the check engine light to come on. At 100,037 miles the engine was burning oil. Three mechanics confirmed that the engine needed to be replaced. An estimated cost of $8,000 - $12,000.

THE ODOR REMAINED IN THE VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND CAME FROM THE VENTS, WHICH DISTRACTED THE DRIVER.

STRUCTURE

THE DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN USING EITHER THE INSIDE NOR OUTSIDE ELECTRONIC BUTTON. YES, THERE IS A LEVER ON THE FLOOR AND ONE IN THE TRUNK. BOTH OPERATE A CABLE TO UNLATCH THE DOOR. THE DOOR JAM RELEASE LATCH FAILS AT AN ALARMING RATE. SALVAGE YARDS, EBAY, AMAZON ETC HAVE RUN OUT OF THE PARTS FORCING A PURCHASE FROM GM. CORVETTE FORUMS AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS ABOUND WITH TALK OF REPLACING THESE AT A COST OF $400 AT THE DEALER!! BEING ABLE TO REACH THE TRUNK RELEASE OR EVEN THE FLOOR RELEASE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT WOULD OFTEN BE DIFFICULT TO IMPOSSIBLE. GM SEEMS TO SEE THIS AS A MONEY MAKING PROPOSITION SINCE THE 215,125 CARS PRODUCED WITH THIS FEATURE WERE NEVER FIXED. GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT COST OF SUCH A BASIC SAFETY FEATURE THAT FAILS SO OFTEN.

IN DAMP WEATHER, THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT FOGGED OVER FROM CONDENSATION INSIDE LENS AND THE DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WAS OBSERVED TO BE NOT WORKING. PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT HAD NO CONDENSATION AND WORKING LOW BEAM. *TR BOTH HIGH BEAMS WERE THEN TURNED ON AND OBSERVED TO BE WORKING. CONDITIONS DRIED LATER IN THE DAY AND HEADLIGHTS WERE OBSERVED TO BE WORKING. DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP CONDENSATION DRIED IN 24 HOURS. OVER THE PRIOR SIX MONTHS, CONDENSATION HAS BEEN OCCASIONALLY OBSERVED INSIDE THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP BUT THE LOW BEAM HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY FAILED TO LIGHT. CHEVROLET DEALER ( ROBERT'S CHEVROLET IN HICKSVILLE NY ) SAID THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT THE CAR FOR SERVICE UNLESS THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WAS PRESENT AT CHECK-IN EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTATION.

MY 2010 CORVETTE ZR1 DISPLAYS THE "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING" MESSAGE EVERY FEW DRIVES. IT IS SPORADIC, AND INTERMITTENT... THE PROBLEM DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE AN IDENTIFIABLE CAUSE, OR CONDITION TO MAKE THE MESSAGE APPEAR, ONLY THAT IT DOES, AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO FEEL RIGHT. IT ALSO SEEMS TO BE INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. I HAVE LESS THAN 1,600 MILES ON THE CAR, NO BUMPS, NO ACCIDENTS, NOTHING... THE CAR IS IN "PERFECT CONDITION" ASIDE FROM THE "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING" MESSAGE ON THE DRIVERS INFORMATION CONSOLE DISPLAY. *TR

The contact's daughter owned a 2010 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated while her daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed on a rainy night, there was another unoccupied vehicle stopped side ways in the middle of the highway with no hazards lights activated. The contact stated that the front driver's side of the vehicle crashed into the other vehicle. The contact stated that the driver's side and passenger's side air bags failed to fully deploy as needed. The contact was occupying the rear passenger's side seat and was wearing a seat belt; however, the contact was propelled between the front driver's side and front passenger's side seats, causing the contact's left shoulder to hit the driver's side seat. The contact sustained a right shoulder dislocation, headache, neckache and soreness all over the body. The contact's daughter who was occupying the front driver's side seat hit her face against the steering wheel and sustained bruises and minor cuts on the face. The driver also sustained soreness on the shoulders, knees, feet, back, head and the face. The contact's niece who was occupying the front passenger's side seat hit her forehead against the windshield and the windshield was fractured. The contact 's niece sustained cuts on the forehead and severe neck pain that required her to be out of school for an extended period of time. The ambulance transported all passengers to the emergency room, where medical assistance was provided. The vehicle was towed and totaled. A police report was filed but the contact did not have the information available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the failure occurred because an object that was hanging on the driver's key holder had caused the ignition switch to turn off. No assistance was provided. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.

I BECAME TRAPPED INSIDE THIS LATE MODEL CORVETTE. I OPENED, ENTERED, SAT IN AND SIMPLY CLOSED THE UNLOCKED DRIVERS DOOR OF THIS CAR LOCATED IN THE FOR SALE SECTION OF THE CARMAX STORE IN WAUKESHA WI. THE DOORS LOCKED APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE AFTER ENTRY. ALL ATTEMPTS TO UNLOCK VIA THE UNLOCKING DOOR SWITCH AND INTERIOR DOOR LOCK STEM AT INTERIOR DOOR SILL FAILED TO UNLOCK AND GRANT EXIT. A FEMALE STORE VISITOR FLAGGED A FEMALE SALES ASSOCIATE 5 MINUTES LATER TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE AND OPEN THE DOOR. OXYGEN LEVELS DECREASED RAPIDLY IN ITS WINDOWS UP/DOORS CLOSED CONFIGURATION. I WAS IN A NEAR PANIC STATE. I WAS FORTUNATE TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE 60'S AND CLOUD COVER WAS HIGH. I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY AND BELIEVE FATAL CONSEQUENCE CAN EASILY RESULT FROM THIS ENGINEERING DEFECT.

TIRES

1 complaint

MY COMPLAINT IS NOT ABOUT A COMPONENT FAILURE, BUT RATHER AN INADEQUATE COMPONENT, SPECIFICALLY THE GOODYEAR F1 SUPERCAR TIRES THAT CAME AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON MY 2010 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT COUPE. THESE TIRES ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST TO HYDROPLANE OF ANY TIRES ON ANY VEHICLE I HAVE DRIVEN IN MY 45+ YEARS OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED WHEN THERE IS WATER ON THE ROAD. I HAVE APPROACHED THE DEALER AND CHEVROLET ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AS TO WHAT I CAN DO TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION AND HAVE BEEN STONEWALLED AT EVERY STEP. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS AND MANY OF THEM HAVE SWAPPED OUT THE STANDARD ISSUE GOODYEARS FOR MICHELINS AT A COST OF AROUND $2000 AND THAT SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET MY DEALER OR CHEVROLET TO CONFIRM THIS. THEIR ANSWER IS TO REPLACE THEM WITH THE SAME TIRE THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE. MY CAR IS NEARLY TWO YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT, SO TIRE WEAR IS NOT THE ISSUE. THE Z06 AND ZR1 MODELS COME STANDARD WITH MICHELINS AND I THINK THE GRAND SPORT SHOULD AS WELL. I KNOW IT IS TOO LATE FOR ME, BUT NEW OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE NEW TIRES WITH VERY EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENTS IN ORDER TO BE SAFE WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN. *TR

THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE ACTUAL LOAD CAPACITY WAS 800 POUNDS. WHEN CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER, HE WAS ADVISED THAT THE LOAD CAPACITY SHOULD NOT EXCEED 388 POUNDS, WHICH WAS LISTED ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED WITH DETERMINING THE ACTUAL LOAD CAPACITY. THERE WERE NO FAILURES IN THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM

1 complaint

I DECIDED TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT SINCE I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY CORVETTE AND THE CONTINUED ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM WITH THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AT LEAST THREE TIMES ALREADY. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR MAINTENANCE WAS ON JUNE 14TH. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT HE ENSURED ALL THE CONNECTORS WERE TIGHTENED, RESET THE CODES AND THE CAR WAS READY. ON FRIDAY JUNE 25TH I DROPPED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR THE 2ND TIME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM (SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM). I WAS CONTACTED BY A JOHN SAUDER SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE AROUND 12:30 PM THAT DAY WHO APPRISED ME THAT MY CAR WAS READY FOR PICK UP AFTER THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETED. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DROVE LESS THAN 30 MILES WHEN THE CAR AGAIN WENT INTO 'REDUCED POWER MODE' AND THE SAME ERROR CODES APPEARED (SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM) THIS WAS ON JUNE 26TH. THE CAR WAS SERVICED AGAIN ON JUNE 27TH FOR THE IDENTICAL ISSUE AND RETURNED TO ME ON JULY 1ST. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MILES I RECEIVED THE IDENTICAL MESSAGES AT 1330 MILES. WHEN THE CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE ON JUNE 27TH JOHN DAUDER CHEVROLET STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED AND THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD CORRECTED THE ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY THE PERSONAL AUDIO LINK (PAL) INSTALLED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT REMOVING THE PAL WOULD ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM. THAT WAS PREMATURE. TO DATE, I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR LESS THAN 1350 MILES. FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR MORE THAN 18 DAYS AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR SERVICE 13 DAYS NOT COUNTING THE FACT THAT I WILL DROP OFF THE CAR FOR SERVICE ON JULY 13, 2010 BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE THE 4TH TIME. *TR
