Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Was driving 45 down highway and the top for my 2007 Corvette coupe started came off. It broke off one of the latches, before I could grab it and unlatch them both to bring into the car. The top then broke the back latch and flew off onto highway street. No vehicles were on the road at the time other than mine thankfully. Currently looking to have top replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10336912, filed 2010-06, 7,800 miles“I recently purchased a used 2007 Corvette with targa top. The targa top makes a snapping noise as described in the NHTSA recall information. There is a loud snapping noise made when closing doors, engaging in gear, and especially loud when going over bumps of any kind. Cheverlot states that my VIN, even though a 2007 with the targa top making the loud snapping noise, is not covered in the recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10329676, filed 2010-05, 43,000 miles“Snapping sounds coming from the glass roof of my 2007 model year Chevrolet Corvette, purchased in august of 2006. Especially noticeable in temperature changes and rough road surfaces. Recall already in progress for 2005-2007 model year, but my car is not included as told to me by GM representative. I can have the car diagnosed by chevy, but at my cost. Cannot understand why my vehicle is not included in the recall, especially when it has the symptoms described in the recall information.”
NHTSA complaint #10310742, filed 2010-02, 5,600 miles“Roof panel separation recall. My vehicle is out of VIN range for this recall and was not honored. Today the panel separation has gotten worse as wind sounds has entered the cabin from the roof at 65mph on the highway. The panel is separating from the frame due to bad glue.”
NHTSA complaint #10837887, filed 2016-02, 86,850 miles“Fuel pools on top of fuel tank when you fill up. Strong order of gasoline until fuel level lows in tank. Vapors enters in the interior of car. This happen with each fill up.”
