Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The vehicle's engine under a load skips and operates as though it is on 4 cylinders only. While the vehicle was under warranty the vehicle was taken to a GM dealership for servicing and we were informed of the recall when the vehicle had approx 17000 miles. The dealership serviced the vehicle and supposedly covered the recall. Some years later the distributor cap failed on the lt1 engine for the second time at approx 37000 miles, the repair was made at an independent repair facility due to the exhorborent prices at the dealership. Now at approx 54000 the vehicle is experiencing the same issue. …”

NHTSA complaint #10421289, filed 2011-08, 17,000 miles

“Engine running fine when initially starts but after it warms up then starts missing , backfiring and stalls continuously. Car is a 1993 Corvette LT 1 engine with only 1,3000 miles. as told it is the OptiSpark that is bad which is part of the distributor. This car is a 40th Anniv car and is a collector car that GM manufactured with questionable engine components that go bad not from wear as in this case of only 13,000 miles but being made with poor components that should be recalled ,”
