“My Corvette is a z06 that is designed and built for track use. When I use it on track it overheats and goes into limp mode after about 15 mins. Sometimes the power steer faults making it difficult and dangerous to control the car. I do not use it regularly on the street.”
NHTSA complaint #11033140, filed 2017-10, 1,800 miles“I have about 500 miles on my 2017 c7 Corvette and obviously never drove it in the winter, always garaged and just took it out a very few times over the past 2 weeks during nice weather. I opened the hood for the very first time and showed a friend of mine the engine, he was a mechanic for years, and we both immediately seen the manifolds were rusty. This is horrible that GM would release a nearly $60,000 vehicle with such a flaw and possibly near future catastrophic engine problems because of it!??????? …”
NHTSA complaint #10979997, filed 2017-04, 500 miles“I was going down the highway and noticed that the Corvette was getting really hot, than about 5 min later onstar reported a engine, trans, and rear end problem along with a loud clanking noise from the motor.
