WHEELS

56 complaints

Overview - November 2022, my 2016 Covette Stingray vibrated badly at highway speeds, that I took it into the Sunrise Chevrolet Buick GMC dealership in Collierville, TN to investigate the cause. They made videos showing 3 of the 4 wheels (not tires) were warped. This is my second car (rarely driven), so I was quite surprised. Chevy was out of stock and the vehicle was out of warranty, so I had to replace all 4 wheels using after-market parts that had to be shipped to the dealership at total cost of $3,400.58. A few weeks after the wheels were replaced, I noticed the vibration was still occurring at highway speeds, so I returned it to the same dealership on Jan 3rd, 2023. The dealership said that the transmission fluid had to be replaced with a "new design" to prevent the shaking at my expense for a total of $1,066.10. The problem is so well-known, that it's called the "Chevy Shake" on the Corvette forum. I feel that Chevrolet has put my safety at risk twice in 2022 with a faulty mirror (I files a separate complaint for that), the faulty tires, and the faulty transmission fluid.

Normal driving - about 69,000 miles. Rear wheel rim developed cracks in inner bead lip causing complete loss of inflation.

Nov 18, 2023

Rear rims have cracks. Which is causing the car to lose air and it also lose traction.

Oct 11, 2023

Wheels are defective and cracked at approx 22k miles normal use. Inside of driver wheel cracked and does not hold air.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

14 complaints

My vehicle is covered by GM Special Warranty 17469 which relates to cracks and fuel leaks at the primary fuel pump module flange. It caught fire while driving at a high performance driver’s education event at Barber Motorsports Park and was denied coverage due to it having modifications. GM case number 9-15085163081. There were no warning messages displayed at any time during the incident. GM had the vehicle inspected by a “neutral” third party which turned out to be a retired GM service center instructor. None of the modifications on the vehicle affect the fuel pump module flange. This is in violation of the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act. The basic facts regarding the incident are as follows: the fire was a fuel fire, the vehicle had normal fuel pressure until I shut the engine off 2 minutes into the incident, the fuel line fittings are melted in the normal seated position, the fuel tank flange is cracked and fire damaged, the most significant fire damage is at the top of the driver’s side fuel tank (the location of the warrantied and currently cracked flange), the fire was not from any of the pressurized fuel lines. I have video from the vehicle of the incident prior to engine shutdown, pictures during and after the incident of all affected areas and components, and data logs of all vehicle parameters up to engine shutdown. These facts point strongly to the initial source of the fuel fire coming from the affected flange at the top of the driver’s side fuel tank. It is completely unacceptable that GM issued an extended warranty (and then denies coverage) for this known fire hazard vs issuing a recall. This is extremely unsafe and will lead to a loss of life if not corrected.

POWER TRAIN

9 complaints

Transmission is very erratic to shift, especially when cold. Sometime, when pressing the accelerator, the car hesitates before moving forward. This can be dangerous at intersections with oncoming traffic. The transmission was inspected by a Chevy dealer right after the car was purchased (09/2017) and parts replaced. The symptoms still happen. It was inspected again 01/2023 by a Chevy dealer and the transmission fluid flushed. The symptoms still happen regularly. GM is aware of this dangerous issue, yet nothing has been done to correct the problem.

Oct 06, 2024

The transmission has a shudder issue at speeds between 60 and 80 mph. Gives the feeling of driving over rumble strips. Vehicle milage is 6200 miles. The dealership verified the issue associated with the transmission and indicated that a repair bulletin was issued by GM to correct the issue

Oct 04, 2023

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while driving from a stop, after engaging the clutch, the vehicle started to shudder and vibrate and nearly stalled. The contact pulled over into a parking lot. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who determined that the valve spring had fractured in half within cylinder #5. Further diagnostic test determined that the failure had caused damage to the engine, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 12,000.

Sep 25, 2023

Since the vehicle was new, it has exhibited a transmission shake or shudder that is especially noticeable when the Active Fuel Management is active. The vehicle was serviced by Chevrolet under warranty on Dec. 5, 2017, for a transmission shake and/or shudder repair using the flush methods described in Bulletin No. 18-NA-355, but it has continued to exhibit a transmission shake or shudder. My local Chevrolet dealership has now diagnosed the vehicle as having a torque converter with excessive slippage and recommended a replacement torque converter at a cost of $3,450 including parts and labor, or a total transmission replacement at a cost of $8,100. My vehicle currently has 24,473 miles on the odometer. A major transmission component should not fail in less than 25,000 miles on a modern flagship vehicle used for light, non-everyday driving from a leading U.S. auto manufacturer.

Sep 24, 2022

Transmission shudder a low acceleration. Requires Triple Transmission flush. Vehicle is 2016 Model with 10500 miles GM refused any responsibility. GM was aware they had an issue with the transmission fluid. It has gone through two reformulations to correct the issue.

ENGINE

I left my car at Vandergriff Chevrolet in Arlington, TX for diagnosis and repair of a transmission sensor failure. They took nearly 6 weeks to fix the issue. When I went to pick up the car, there was a new noise in the engine so I left the vehicle for diagnosis. Now, they are telling me it's a known issue that is considered 'crucial' to repair but is not a recall and they are so far unwilling to cover the repair since it seems to have happened while they had the vehicle. I've attached their service bulletin indicating the known issue and repair.

STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

3 complaints

Experiencing sudden loss of power steering while driving - unsafe condition. Experiencing sudden loss of electric power steering assist while driving. Loss of power steering persists until ignition recycling (stop, put car in park, turn ignition off, turn ignition back on), which seems to clear it. Problem re-occurs intermittently on subsequent drives. Issue has been experienced at multiple MPH (0 to 65 MPH) across more than a month of time. I believe my vehicle is experiencing the recall noted earlier this year (N182182760 in 2025) for power steering unit failures in Corvettes manufactured in my car's timeframe. The recall is still expanding the list of cars associated due to its nascent nature, and I believe mine is one of them. My car was manufactured in 2016 and the manufacturing defect in the power steering unit circuitry was not corrected until 2017. The recall investigation only occurred a few months ago, earlier this year in 2025. Request my vehicle be added to recall N182182760 to correct this unsafe condition. Thank you.

I would be driving and get a notification in the panel that says power steering is out and to drive with care. It is extremely difficult to drive my vehicle, with no power steering. I would just be driving, and I would get the notification that power steering is out. The problem has been recently confirmed by a dealership. The mechanic at the dealership confirmed it was the same issue reported for the 2017 Chevrolet Corvette (N182182760). The first appearance of the issue was at 3800 miles on my 2016 Chevrolet Corvette. I was sitting at a red light, and the notification came on and said I didn't have power steering. The second time I was driving down the interstate at 70mph and it went out, not good. I was able to get it safely back to my sister's home and did not move it again until I took it straight to the dealership today, in which time it went out again. All this with 4085 total miles on my car at this time. I believe this should be covered under the same recall as the 2017 Chevrolet Corvette. My vehicle is available for inspection if someone would like to come out.

THE REAR TAIL LIGHT BEZELS ON MY 2016 CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY ARE NOT BOLTED DOWN, THEY SNAP IN/OUT. THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE SOMEONE STOLE MINE AND I'M SURE THEY WERE ALSO WANTING TO GET THE TAIL LIGHTS. ANYWAY, THE REAR TAIL LIGHT BEZELS ARE NOT BOLTED DOWN, THEY SNAP IN/OUT. SOMEONE CAN EASILY STEAL MY TAIL LIGHTS AFTER THE BEZELS ARE REMOVED MAKING MY CAR UNSAFE FOR TRAVEL. I HAVE A POLICE REPORT OF THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT MY HOME UNDER A CAR PORT. THERE ARE LOTS OF ONLINE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE THAT TEACH ANYONE HOW TO REMOVE THESE BEZELS WITH JUST A SMALL TOOL TO GRAB ONTO THE BEZEL.

Right rear rim cracked for the third time on my car. I noticed a slow leak after driving for about an hour earlier in the day. I get back in my car after a round of golf and notice that the right rear tire is low on air pressure. This is the third time I've had a cracked rim. I don't abuse my car, as this is a limited edition C7R, one of 500 made for the US market. My dealer admits that the rims are defective but says they can't do anything about it because GM says the rims aren't defective. Even though my car is only five years old with less than 36,000 miles on it, GM no longer makes these rims and none are available nationwide, so I'm forced to go to a aluminum wheel repair shop to get my rim fixed as there is no alternative. The original rim cracked, the $1,000 OEM replacement rim cracked (in the same place), and now the original rim repaired has cracked (again in the same area just next to where it was repaired).

WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE LOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, WHICH HAS RESULTED IN 3 NEAR MISS COLLISIONS, (ONE HEAD ON INCIDENT AND TWO SIDE IMPACT COLLISIONS.) THE SIDE IMPACT NEAR MISS COLLISIONS WERE AFTER MAKING AN ATTEMPT AT A LEFT TURN WHERE THERE WAS PLENTY OF TIME INITIALLY TO COMPLETE THE MANEUVER, THE CAR COMPLETELY LOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND IS DEAD IN ITS TRACKS ON THE ROAD. THE HEAD ON NEAR MISS COLLISION OCCURRED DURING AN ATTEMPT TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. AS THE CAR ACCELERATED IN THE PASSING ZONE, AND PULLED NEXT TO THE VEHICLE BEING PASSED, THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WAS LOST AND THANKFULLY THE OTHER DRIVER WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE COLLISION PRIOR TO THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE RESUMING. WHEN THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE VOIDS, PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL HAS NO IMPACT ON ACCELERATION. THESE 3 OCCURRENCES WERE THE MOST PRONOUNCED AND POTENTIALLY FATAL, HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN A MYRIAD OF INSTANCES WHERE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE HAS STOPPED MOMENTARILY. I AM ALSO CONCERNED WITH THE OVERWHELMING CHEMICAL ODOR (PLASTIC SMELL) EMANATING THROUGHOUT THE CAR. AFTER A YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, AND LEAVING WINDOWS OPEN WHILE STORED, IT PERSISTS TO THE POINT THAT IT REMAINS OVERWHELMING WITH THE WINDOWS UP AND TOP ON. DUE TO FEARS FOR MY SAFETY AND WELLBEING I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO TAKE PLEASURE IN THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED EXCLUSIVELY FOR ENJOYMENT.

Attempted to start my Corvette. My Corvette was in the my garage Battery was dead. Called for a jump start. When mechanic arrived, I got into the driver's seat. When he applied electric power to the car battery, interior lights flickered, radio came on, tach needle and other needles cycled and my electric power adjustable seat went full forward and the electric power adjustable steering wheel went full down. This happened in seconds. The engine was not running. I thought I was going to be crushed by the steering wheel. I have a small frame. If I were a bigger person, I would have sustained a crushing chest injury or death. With the seat full forward and the steering wheel full down with great difficult I wiggled my way out of my Corvette. My Corvette is scheduled for diagnostic / repair on 11 Apr 23 at Criswell Chevrolet in Thurmont, MD. I have notified GM customer support and provided this narrative to them on 6 Apr 23.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

1 complaint

The top drivers side of the windshield has a 2" hairline crack that you cannot feel from the outside of the vehicle. Numerous Corvette Forum Sites have discussions regarding this to be a manufacturer assembly flaw. Apparently there is some left over welding material near the corner of the windshield pillar. This material creates pressure against the inside of the glass causing it to crack on the inside layer of glass. I have contacted the local Chevrolet dealer and the GM Customer Care Center. Both have declined to even look at the crack stating it is not GM's fault. There are numerous posts on the Corvette Forums showing pictures of cracks just like mine. GM's answer was to have my insurance company replace the glass. I do not feel this is right given this is a quality control issue. Some of the windshields in the forum posts have continued to crack across the whole top of the windshield. See below for forum sites and discussions! https://www.stingrayforums.com/threads/cracked-windshield-just-cracked-itself.39937/ https://www.stingrayforums.com/threads/cracked-windshield-already.6414/ https://www.corvette7.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9165900 My car only has 11,000 miles on it, has never been driven in the rain and is always covered in my garage when not in use. It also has never been in an accident.
