Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The ABS tcs system on my 2000 Corvette has malfunctioned. I've been told that this can't be repaired. After researching this seems to be a chronic problem on this vehicle. My Corvette only has 49000 miles on it and this is a serious safety issue involving control of the vehicle during an emergency braking condition, especially on wet roads.”
NHTSA complaint #11386239, filed 2021-01, 49,000 miles“Rear end chatter noises when turning at low speeds, GM change rearend fluid and added friction modifier and no correction made to problem. Now saying it needs new posi clutch packs replaced but no warranty to correct problem”
NHTSA complaint #10427925, filed 2011-09, 7,500 miles“The consumer felt that the remedy for the automatic transmission electronic column lock 04v060000 recall is making it easier for the vehicle to be stolen. When the column lock plate is removed only the transmission shifter is locked. The shifter can be easily unlocked, and without the assistance of the steering lock, the vehicle wasn't secured from theft. The vehicle would like a new remedy found to correct this failure without deactivating the electronic column lock system.”
NHTSA complaint #10094600, filed 2004-11, 28,000 miles“Tire pressure gauge always low, would not show if tires too low or over inflated until too late at any speed. Abs/active handling system light on, turned engine off 1 mile later light goes off. Clutch pedal too stiff.”
NHTSA complaint #9000588, filed 2000-03“Transmission fluid leaked from vehicle, rendering vehicle inoperable. Dealer has inspected vehicle, and will replace transmission. Manufacturer has been notified.”
