NHTSA complaint #11338940, filed 2020-07, 575 miles“I just got my 2020 Corvette delivered last week. I am the first owner of the car and today I was driving up pch towards malibu. Went up to 80-90 MPH at times. Drove for about 100 miles. I stopped to get something to eat. Got back in my car and proceeded up the canyons for some spirited driving. The car is already broken in at 1300 miles. I decided to pull off the road to take some pictures of the car. I put the car in park with the parking brake on and left the engine running with the key fob in the cupholder. …”
NHTSA complaint #11343025, filed 2020-08, 1,260 miles“We have a water leak that was coming in both windows and onto the floor. Since reported it the car will slow down while driving because of codes issues about the doors are not closed and it is. I feel it's due to the water leak that is coming into the car. Took the car to a Chevrolet Dealer in Columbia South Carolina and they said it was coming from the roof weather stripping. They said it wasn't a recall for the 2020 C8 Corvette corvette yet. Also called GM Customer care to see if I can get some help to get it fixed. No luck.”
NHTSA complaint #11710974, filed 2026-01“The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette coupe with the 1lt trim package does not comply with the 20 degree minimum horizontal field of view requirement as outlined in us DOT tp-111v-01.
