  FUEL PUMPS ON LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE . CRACKS IN FUEL I LINES AND PUMPS NOT WORKING. REPLACED BOTH FUEL PUMPS BECAUSE OF GAS LEAKAGE AND GAS SMELL IN GARAGE.PLUS PUMPS WOULD NOT EQUALIZE FUEL SO IT WOULD'T START. COST $C2666.54 TO FIX!!

  GAS SMELL WHEN TANK IS FILLED

• 12/14/2016· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  OVERWHELMING FUEL ODORS.. AT FIRST I ASSUMED IT MIGHT BE A BAD FUEL CAP. REPLACES WITH OEM FUEL CAP AND SMELL IF STILL VERY MUCH PRESENT.. 1 THING TO NOTE.. SMELL IS PRESENT ONLY WHEN FUEL TANK IS FILLED PAST HALF A TANK. WHEN I ONLY PUT ABOUT 5-6 GALLONS FROM EMPTY; THERE IS NO SMELL OR ODOR.. HAVE TRIED IT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND HAS PROVEN POSITIVE ON EACH FILL UP OVER 6 GALLONS..

• 12/11/2016· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY CORVETTE BASE MODEL WITH A GAS LEAK IT WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE FOR A TWO WEEKS . I WENT AND PUT GAS AND NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS. I DROVE THE CAR FOR A WHILE AND PUT IT BACK IN THE GARAGE THE GAS SMELL GOT WORSE I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THEY SAID THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING WANTING TO CHARGE ME 2000 TO FIX IT.

• 12/09/2015· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  STRONG FUEL SMELL WHEN TANK IS OVER 1/2 FULL. FUEL LEAK ON DRIVER SIDE. STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE BY DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL WELL

• 12/04/2016· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  FUEL / GAS SMELL ...NO LEAKS DETECTED. MOST APPARENT WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR GARAGED. VEHICHLE CAN NOT BE GARAGED DUE TO EXCESSIVE GAS SMELL AND POSSIBLE EXPLOSION CAUSED BY GAS VAPORS COMING FROM VEHICLE.

• 12/01/2015· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL IN THE COCKPIT. WHILE THERE IS NO VISIBLE PUDDLE OF FUEL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR, THE FUEL ODOR IS VERY STRONG AND I AM OBLIGED TO KEEP MY GARAGE DOOR OPEN OR THE FUEL SMELL ENTERS INTO THE HOUSE. I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPT OF WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (CARMAX) AND WAS INFORMED TODAY THAT THE LEAK IS ON THE TOP OF THE LEFT FUEL TANK AND THAT TO ACCESS IT, IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT SINCE THE JOB WAS A "BIG ONE" CARMAX WOULD MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE MY CAR BROUGHT TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT MY CAR MAX SERVICE WARRANTY MIGHT NOT COVER THE REPAIRS DONE OUTSIDE THEIR SHOP. I AM BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION IN HOPES THAT DUE TO THE FIRE DANGER INVOLVED WITH LEAKING FUEL GENERAL MOTORS WILL ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL ON THE PROBLEM. THE FUEL SMELL IS AMPLIFIED WHEN THERE IS 3/4 OF A TANK OR MORE. THE FUEL SMELL IS PARTICULARLY STRONG WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN THE GARAGE. THE FUEL SMELL DIMINISHES IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OUTSIDE IN THE OPEN AIR.

• 11/28/2021· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  Seems to be a common issue and GM has a tsb for it but they only covered the repare for 10 years and 120k I am at 11 with 70k miles. The fuel is leaking from the top of the tank and could cause a fire.

• 11/24/2022· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  The fuel tank is leaking at the pump due to defective plastic. There should be a lot of reports of this happening on this vehicle and it is more dangerous than any other defect I have ever heard of.

• 11/17/2022· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  Have a strong odor of gasoline coming from vehicle parked in garage. Have not noticed any gasoline in the garage floor, only the strong odor.

• 11/16/2022· ENGINE

  At 85,000 miles the timing chain triggered the check engine light to come on. At 100,037 miles the engine was burning oil. Three mechanics confirmed that the engine needed to be replaced. An estimated cost of $8,000 - $12,000.

• 11/15/2021· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  My 2010 Chevrolett Grand Sport has developed a very strong odor of gasoline. Both when parked in garage and while driving. It’s obviously leaking gasoline somewhere which could result in a fire or death.

• 11/04/2019· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  AFTER FILLING UP MY TANK, I SMELL A STRONG GAS SMELL PRIMARILY FROM THE LEFT REAR (WHERE I FILL UP) SIDE OF THE CAR. IT FILLS MY GARAGE WITH STRONG FUMES AND I DON'T FEEL SAVE STARTING IT, MUCH LESS DRIVING IT. I DON'T SMELL ANYTHING IN THE CABIN, ONLY WHEN IT'S IN THE GARAGE. ALSO LEADS ME TO BELIEVE I'M LOOSING GAS AND FUEL ECONOMY SO THAT'S A DRAG. I'VE LOOKED AT POSSIBLE CAUSES, AND IT COULD BE MANY DIFFERENT THINGS SO IT'S CURRENTLY UKNOWN AS FAR AS WHAT PART IS EXACTLY WRONG. I SMELL THE FUMES WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY.

• 10/26/2019· AIR BAGS

  AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. SEEMS TO ME ITS COULD BE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL, CAUSE IT DOESN'T STAY ON ALL THE TIME. SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BUT I'M THE 4TH OWNER OF THIS CORVETTE SO DONT KNOW IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND IT NEVER GOT FIXED. THANKS. IT COMES ON AND NO SET PATTERN FOR THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO COME ON. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T COME ON FOR A WEEK OR TWO AND SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON.

• 10/17/2013· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  IN DAMP WEATHER, THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT FOGGED OVER FROM CONDENSATION INSIDE LENS AND THE DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WAS OBSERVED TO BE NOT WORKING. PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT HAD NO CONDENSATION AND WORKING LOW BEAM. *TR BOTH HIGH BEAMS WERE THEN TURNED ON AND OBSERVED TO BE WORKING. CONDITIONS DRIED LATER IN THE DAY AND HEADLIGHTS WERE OBSERVED TO BE WORKING. DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP CONDENSATION DRIED IN 24 HOURS. OVER THE PRIOR SIX MONTHS, CONDENSATION HAS BEEN OCCASIONALLY OBSERVED INSIDE THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP BUT THE LOW BEAM HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY FAILED TO LIGHT. CHEVROLET DEALER ( ROBERT'S CHEVROLET IN HICKSVILLE NY ) SAID THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT THE CAR FOR SERVICE UNLESS THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WAS PRESENT AT CHECK-IN EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTATION.

• 10/16/2016· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  STRONG ODOR / SMELL OF FUEL.. NOTICED AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK AND STATIONED VEHICLE IN ENCLOSED GARAGE..

• 10/13/2016· AIR BAGS

  AIRBAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY LIGHTS, WHEN I HAVENT ADJUSTED THE SEATS AND NOT SPEEDING. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURENCE WITH CORVETTE OWNERS. SAW IT A FEW TIMES BEFORE BUT IT STOPPED BEFORE I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERS FOR SERVICE.

• 10/13/2015· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  I HAVE A 2010 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT WITH 46000 MILES THAT HAS STRONG GAS FUMES COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE BY THE GAS TANK WHILE PARKED IN THE GARAGE. EVEN AFTER SITTING FOR 2 DAYS THE GAS SMELL DIDN'T GO AWAY. I TOOK THE CAR INTO CHEVROLET AND THEY REPLACED THE GAS TANK AND THE FUEL PUMP ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING. THE REPAIR COST 2900.00. I ASKED THE SERVICE REP AT CHEVROLET IF THE NEW GAS TANK DESIGN FLAW HAD BEEN FIXED AND HE REPLIED THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW. I ALSO HAD A 2006 CORVETTE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM SO I HAVE TO ASSUME IT HASN'T BEEN FIXED. CHEVROLET HASN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM AND I'M AFRAID IT WILL KEEP HAPPENING AND MY HOUSE OR CAR WILL CATCH FIRE AND SOMEONE MAY GET HURT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND WE SHOULD GET REIMBURSED.

• 10/11/2017· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  VERY STRONG FUEL VAPOR ORDER WHEN PARKEDP

• 10/06/2018· STRUCTURE

  THE DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN USING EITHER THE INSIDE NOR OUTSIDE ELECTRONIC BUTTON. YES, THERE IS A LEVER ON THE FLOOR AND ONE IN THE TRUNK. BOTH OPERATE A CABLE TO UNLATCH THE DOOR. THE DOOR JAM RELEASE LATCH FAILS AT AN ALARMING RATE. SALVAGE YARDS, EBAY, AMAZON ETC HAVE RUN OUT OF THE PARTS FORCING A PURCHASE FROM GM. CORVETTE FORUMS AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS ABOUND WITH TALK OF REPLACING THESE AT A COST OF $400 AT THE DEALER!! BEING ABLE TO REACH THE TRUNK RELEASE OR EVEN THE FLOOR RELEASE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT WOULD OFTEN BE DIFFICULT TO IMPOSSIBLE. GM SEEMS TO SEE THIS AS A MONEY MAKING PROPOSITION SINCE THE 215,125 CARS PRODUCED WITH THIS FEATURE WERE NEVER FIXED. GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT COST OF SUCH A BASIC SAFETY FEATURE THAT FAILS SO OFTEN.

• 10/06/2017· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  THE CAR SMELLS OF FUEL CONTINUOUSLY IN SIDE AND OUT. THIS STARTED HAPPENING WITHIN THE LAST 5 WEEKS WITHOUT CAUSE. IT SEEMS MORE PRONOUNCED ON THE DRIVERS WHEEL WELL. IT SEEMS THAT IS A MORE PRONOUNCED PROBLEM WHEN THE TANK IS 1/2 FULL OR HIGHER. I CAN NOT PARK THE CAR IN THE GARAGE AS IT STINKS UP THE HOUSE. I'VE LEARNED FROM RESEARCH THAT THERE IS A PLASTIC ELBOW CONNECTOR THAT DETERIORATES OVER TIME ON TOP OF THE TANK, CRACKS AND SPRAYS FUEL. IF THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL, IT CERTAINLY SHOULD BE.

• 10/04/2010· ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

  DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) DISPLAYS "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM" AND ALTERNATING TO "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM". OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING WHEN DRIVING; THESE SYSTEMS ABRUPTLY STOP WORKING WITH OUT DRIVER TURNING THEM OFF. THIS COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL. *TR

• 10/02/2023· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  Purchased 3 weeks ago. Third time filling up and first time in the garage. Noticed the fuel tank is leaking at the pump due to defective plastic. Car only has 55k miles, this should not be an issue. Is Chevy going to fix this or am I out the 2k repair bill?

• 09/27/2016· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  AUTOMATIC SHIFTER CONTROL FAILURE: SHIFTER FAILS SUDDENLY AND ONLY ALLOWS DRIVER TO SELECT N (NEUTRAL) OR D (D) DRIVE. WILL NOT ALLOW VEHICLE TO BE PUT INTO (P) PARK OR (R) REVERSE. THIS DISABLES THE DOOR CONTROLS AND THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE EXITED IN A FAST MANNER.AND PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM PARKING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT TAKING ALTERNATIVE MEASURES TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM ROLLING. PROVIDES A UNSAFE SITUATION FOR THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.

• 09/23/2020· POWER TRAIN

  TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE END DISINTEGRATED, CAUSING SHIFT CABLE END TO DETACH FROM FLOOR SHIFTER, CAUSING INABILITY TO PLACE CAR IN PARK, INCREASING VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY AND CRASH.

• 08/28/2016· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS MORE THAN 50% FULL THERE IS A STRONG PERSISTENT ODOR OF FUEL THAT FILLS MY PARKING GARAGE AND CAN ALSO BE SMELLED IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS BELOW 50% FULL THE ODOR IS LESS NOTICEABLE AND VIRTUALLY DISAPPEARS AS THE FUEL TANK EMPTIES. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE FUEL LEAKS AND THERE IS NO LACK OF PERFORMANCE FROM THE ENGINE. IT APPEARS THAT FUEL VAPORS ARE LEAKING FROM THE TANK WITHOUT LEAKING TO THE GROUND. THE FUEL CAP IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND PROPERLY SECURED.

• 08/27/2018· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  HAVE A STRONG FUEL ODOR AFTER DRIVING THE CAR. GARAGE IS INUNDATED WITH FUEL SMELL AND I HAVE TO OPEN THE GARAGE DOOR AND USE A FLOOR FAN TO VENTILATE IT TO MAKE IT HABITABLE. SUSPECT A FUEL LEAK.

• 08/25/2014· AIR BAGS

  THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON FOR WHILE DRIVING THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES TOTAL. AFTER CAR SHUTDOWN AND RESTART IT RESETS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IF IT SHORTS PRIOR TO AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY SOMEONE MAY BE INJURED OR EVEN WORSE DIE FROM THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. *TR

• 08/18/2010· ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

  MY 2010 CORVETTE ZR1 DISPLAYS THE "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING" MESSAGE EVERY FEW DRIVES. IT IS SPORADIC, AND INTERMITTENT... THE PROBLEM DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE AN IDENTIFIABLE CAUSE, OR CONDITION TO MAKE THE MESSAGE APPEAR, ONLY THAT IT DOES, AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO FEEL RIGHT. IT ALSO SEEMS TO BE INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. I HAVE LESS THAN 1,600 MILES ON THE CAR, NO BUMPS, NO ACCIDENTS, NOTHING... THE CAR IS IN "PERFECT CONDITION" ASIDE FROM THE "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING" MESSAGE ON THE DRIVERS INFORMATION CONSOLE DISPLAY. *TR

• 08/10/2018· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  OVERWHELMING FUEL ODOR AFTER SHUTTING CAR OFF AND HOUSING IT IN THE GARAGE OR OUTSIDE. ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE IN SUMMER WHEN ETHANOL IS ADDED TO FUEL - HEAVY SMELL OF NAIL POLISH REMOVER INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR. FUEL VAPOR LEAK FROM GAS TANK REQUIRES $2400 REPAIR. OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF SIMILAR PROBLEM ON THE CORVETTE FORUM. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPLACE THIS COMPONENT ON ALL C6 CORVETTES. *BF *TR

• 08/08/2016· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THE KEY FOB WHEN INSERTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

• 08/04/2018· AIR BAGS

  POSSIBLE TAKATA AIR BAG MALFUNCTION, DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHEN I WENT TO PLACE TRANSMISSION IN REVERSE TO BACK THE CAR FROM DRIVEWAY. I HAD NOT MOVED WHEN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING SHOULDER AND NECK INJURIES TO OCCUR. THE ESCAPING GAS FROM THE AIR BAG BURNT THE HAIR OFF OF THE LEFT FOREARM.

• 08/02/2010· EQUIPMENT

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WEIGHT CAPACITY LABEL STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 388 LBS. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE ACTUAL LOAD CAPACITY WAS 800 POUNDS. WHEN CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER, HE WAS ADVISED THAT THE LOAD CAPACITY SHOULD NOT EXCEED 388 POUNDS, WHICH WAS LISTED ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED WITH DETERMINING THE ACTUAL LOAD CAPACITY. THERE WERE NO FAILURES IN THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130.

• 08/01/2018· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  THERE WAS/IS A STRONG FUEL SMELL EMITTING FROM THE REAR LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR. IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING AND THEN PARKED IN AN ENCLOSED AREA OR IF STANDING NEAR IT ESPECIALLY ON THAT SIDE. AFTER SOME LIGHT INSPECTION IT SEEMS THE FUEL PUMP HIGH PRESSURE LINE IS LEAKING AT THE PUMP EXIT FITTING/JUNCTION TO THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE. THIS HAS ONLY RECENTLY COME TO MY ATTENTION. I ASSURED I HAD THE FUEL CAP SECURED AND THE TANK IS ONLY HALF FUEL. I CAN ONLY CONCLUDE THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN OR MATERIALS AND IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. THE FUEL TANK OR FUEL SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN WORKED ON AND SHOWS NO SIGN OF DAMAGE. THE CAR HAS JUST OVER 85,500 MILES AND IS STORED IN A CLOSED AND SECURE PRIVATE GARAGE. GM HAS NO RECALL BUT HAS UPDATED PARTS AND WILL GLADLY SELL THEM TO YOU AND HAVE THEIR DEALER REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE DESIGN AT THE OWNERS FULL EXPENSE. THEY ACCEPT NO DIRECT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND RESULTING REPAIR COSTS YET THEY SAW TO IT TO UPDATE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS.

• 07/24/2014· AIR BAGS

  WHILE DRIVING AT VARYING SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL FLASH ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. THIS INDICATES A FAULT WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, AND AS A RESULT THE AIRBAGS ARE DEACTIVATED AND WILL NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION TO OCCUPANTS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, UPON WHICH THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE PROBLEM THEN RETURNED SEVERAL DAYS LATER. IT WOULD APPEAR BASED ON OTHERS' EXPERIENCES WITH THIS ISSUE THAT IT IS RELATED TO A WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR THAT IS SECURED TO THE SEAT FRAME. *TR

• 07/15/2014· AIR BAGS

  WHEN I ACCELERATE HARD FROM A STOP AND GET TO A HIGH SPEED ( OVER 80 MPH ) THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON ALL AIRBAGS ARE DISABLED. THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THE LIGHT BACK OF IS TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT. IT WILL BE FINE UNTIL I ACCELERATE QUICKLY TO A HIGH SPEED. THIS CAR WAS MADE TO DRIVE FAST AND THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIX IT. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE CORVETTE AS I HAVE TALK WITH OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

• 07/10/2018· POWER TRAIN

  AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER CANNOT BE SHIFTED FROM ITS "PARK" POSITION UPON STARTING THE ENGINE AND TRYING TO DRIVE AWAY. APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO DISENGAGE FROM "PARK" POSITION OF SHIFTER STILL WON'T ALLOW LEVER TO BE MOVED FROM "PARK". THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT CAN'T BE COMPLETED TO ALLOW DISENGAGEMENT OF SHIFTER. THIS HAPPENS PERHAPS ONE OUT OF EVERY SIX OR SEVEN TIMES YOU WISH TO DRIVE THE CAR. ONE MUST SIT AND MAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OVER SEVERAL MINUTES TO FREE THE SHIFTER. VERY EMBARASSING IF YOU ARE IN A LINE OF CARS AT A GAS STATION OR FAST-FOOD TAKE-OUT LINE. MANY OTHER CORVETTE OWNERS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE FROM YEARS 2005 UP TO 2013.

• 07/10/2010· TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM

  I DECIDED TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT SINCE I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY CORVETTE AND THE CONTINUED ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM WITH THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AT LEAST THREE TIMES ALREADY. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR MAINTENANCE WAS ON JUNE 14TH. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT HE ENSURED ALL THE CONNECTORS WERE TIGHTENED, RESET THE CODES AND THE CAR WAS READY. ON FRIDAY JUNE 25TH I DROPPED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR THE 2ND TIME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM (SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM). I WAS CONTACTED BY A JOHN SAUDER SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE AROUND 12:30 PM THAT DAY WHO APPRISED ME THAT MY CAR WAS READY FOR PICK UP AFTER THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETED. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DROVE LESS THAN 30 MILES WHEN THE CAR AGAIN WENT INTO 'REDUCED POWER MODE' AND THE SAME ERROR CODES APPEARED (SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM) THIS WAS ON JUNE 26TH. THE CAR WAS SERVICED AGAIN ON JUNE 27TH FOR THE IDENTICAL ISSUE AND RETURNED TO ME ON JULY 1ST. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MILES I RECEIVED THE IDENTICAL MESSAGES AT 1330 MILES. WHEN THE CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE ON JUNE 27TH JOHN DAUDER CHEVROLET STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED AND THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD CORRECTED THE ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY THE PERSONAL AUDIO LINK (PAL) INSTALLED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT REMOVING THE PAL WOULD ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM. THAT WAS PREMATURE. TO DATE, I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR LESS THAN 1350 MILES. FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR MORE THAN 18 DAYS AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR SERVICE 13 DAYS NOT COUNTING THE FACT THAT I WILL DROP OFF THE CAR FOR SERVICE ON JULY 13, 2010 BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE THE 4TH TIME. *TR

  I BECAME TRAPPED INSIDE THIS LATE MODEL CORVETTE. I OPENED, ENTERED, SAT IN AND SIMPLY CLOSED THE UNLOCKED DRIVERS DOOR OF THIS CAR LOCATED IN THE FOR SALE SECTION OF THE CARMAX STORE IN WAUKESHA WI. THE DOORS LOCKED APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE AFTER ENTRY. ALL ATTEMPTS TO UNLOCK VIA THE UNLOCKING DOOR SWITCH AND INTERIOR DOOR LOCK STEM AT INTERIOR DOOR SILL FAILED TO UNLOCK AND GRANT EXIT. A FEMALE STORE VISITOR FLAGGED A FEMALE SALES ASSOCIATE 5 MINUTES LATER TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE AND OPEN THE DOOR. OXYGEN LEVELS DECREASED RAPIDLY IN ITS WINDOWS UP/DOORS CLOSED CONFIGURATION. I WAS IN A NEAR PANIC STATE. I WAS FORTUNATE TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE 60'S AND CLOUD COVER WAS HIGH. I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY AND BELIEVE FATAL CONSEQUENCE CAN EASILY RESULT FROM THIS ENGINEERING DEFECT.
