Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle is always stationary when it gets stuck in park, and unable to shift into gear. I let it set for a few minutes then push start again. Sometimes it will shift into gear and other times it will not. 50/50 chance one way or the other. This has happened several times since I inherited this vehicle from my father in early 2017 with 48,000 miles on it. Fast forward to today 03/09/2018 vehicle does not go into park but is stuck in neutral, does not go into park or any other gear.”
NHTSA complaint #11078260, filed 2018-03, 48,800 miles“My vehicle is a 2007 corvette zo6 with approx 5000 miles. I noticed loud noises from the rear differential. I thought I had a flat or someone had tampered with my vehicle. There was no visible sign of the cause of the problem. The noise stopped after a short time. I called the dealer who indicated the rear differential fluid was the source of the problem and needed to be changed. I had that done but found that a friend of mine had the same problem (2006 zo6) in which the fluid has been changed twice in less than 10000 miles. …”
NHTSA complaint #10242756, filed 2008-09, 5,000 miles“Abnormal valve guide wear in cylinder heads considering age and mileage of vehicle. Potential catastrophic engine failure from dropped valve if not addressed. Chevrolet should fix whether vehicle still in warranty or not as is believed to be poor quality control resulting in machining errors.”
NHTSA complaint #10670641, filed 2015-01, 20,243 miles“When I had the motor checked proactively the exhaust valve guides were outside of GM specifications. This defect can cause the head of a valve to snap off and destroy the engine. The engine will stop working immediately, causing the power steering and power brakes systems to fail. The valve failure can cause an oil spill onto the road if the engine is compromised. There have been numerous documented cases of engine failure as a result of a dropped valve into a cylinder. This can cause a catastrophic accident or fire. …”
