2021 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

Filed Aug 4, 2026


The vehicle has the dash lifting started to happen a month after I bought the vehicle that a bubble formed and now it’s peeling off it’s a common issue on all Corvette 3Lt’s and Chevy is aware of it and charge customers $3,000 to replace it and don’t think it’s right to do that and should own up to mistake but forums of Corvette owners show how common of a issue it is on the 3Lt trim since it’s leather.

2026 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE E-RAY

Filed Aug 3, 2026


The car will randomly start shuttering and powering down without warning. Every light imaginable on the dash is illuminated along with various pop up warnings on the DIC. When this occurs, the car will not move under its own power and it loses its ability to brake entirely. I was in the middle of an intersection this last time, thankfully a police officer was near and directed traffic around me until i was able to get the car taken to the nearest dealership. This is the third time I've had this…

2011 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

Filed Jul 19, 2026


I bought this vehicle in XXX with about 39k miles. About a year after purchase, I began smelling gasoline in my garage after I filled the tank. I have consulted Corvette forum ([XXX]) and find this is a common problem. If I fill the tank more than halfway, it seems to occur consistently. I recognize this car has no warranty, but this seems to be both common and a serious safety concern. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2023 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

Filed Jul 16, 2026


At 23000 miles the right rear wheel cracked. I have a 2023 Corvette stingray HTC with the 20 wheels. The option code for this original GM wheel is Q8Q, 20 rear carbon flash painted aluminum wheels with machined edge. This is a common problem and has been reported by many corvette owners on several corvette forums. I do not track my car and have new tires. GM again ignores this safety item. I had the problem on my C7 and again on my C8. I did complete the GM refund paperwork for my C7 cracked…

2026 CHEVROLET CORVETTE COUPE

Filed Jul 10, 2026


I am writing regarding my 2026 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 1LT and a very serious safety incident that occurred while driving on the Garden State Parkway. While driving at highway speed under normal conditions, my Corvette suddenly jerked and completely shut off without warning. The vehicle immediately lost power and became undrivable. Because there was no emergency shoulder available, I had no safe place to pull over. I was forced to coast for approximately one to two miles at very low speed…

2012 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

Filed Jul 2, 2026


I am reporting a safety issue involving the Active Handling/Stability Control system on my 2012 Chevrolet Corvette. After a routine oil change at Grossman Chevrolet in [XXX] on XXX, the “Service Active Handling System” warning appeared. I called the dealership and was told to cycle the ignition several times to reset it, but the warning stayed on. In early XXX, I returned for diagnosis. The dealership determined the steering angle sensor (GM Part 25858802) had failed and needed replacement. I…
