WHEELS
I own a 2024 Chevrolet Corvette with approximately 17,748 miles. The vehicle developed a significant vibration/ride-quality issue and was inspected by an authorized Chevrolet dealer. The dealer determined that all four factory wheels were bent/deformed and recommended replacement of the wheels and tires. The estimated repair cost was approximately $6,251.28. I am not aware of any collision, pothole strike, curb impact, or other event that would explain damage to all four wheels. Photographs of the wheels do not show obvious impact damage. The dealer nevertheless determined that all four wheels were bent. A technician also documented the condition in a video and specifically identified the wheels as bent. I contacted Chevrolet Customer Care and requested warranty assistance under the vehicle's Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty, which remains in effect. Chevrolet declined to cover the replacement. Instead, I was offered the option to purchase replacement wheels, with a 24-month warranty and replacement if a subsequent problem occurs without visible damage. I am submitting this complaint because I am concerned about the durability and structural integrity of the factory wheels. Multiple wheels on a relatively low-mileage Corvette becoming bent without a known impact event raises a potential safety concern. A deformed wheel can cause vibration, affect tire performance, and potentially impact vehicle handling. I request that NHTSA review whether there is a pattern of bent, deformed, cracked, or otherwise compromised factory wheels on C8 Chevrolet Corvettes, particularly where owners report no identifiable impact event. I can provide photographs, the dealer's inspection/repair documentation, technician video, repair estimate, and Chevrolet Customer Care correspondence supporting this complaint.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I live in Las Vegas, NV where temperatures outdoors frequently exceed 100 degrees F in the summer, and in properly permitted garages without air conditioning, it gets very hot. I own a 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. When it is hot out and the vehicle's tank is properly filled before parking in a properly permitted garage that meets building code, the car is unable to vent heat from the engine, which causes thermal expansion in the fuel tank and the car to vent an excessive amount of fuel vapor into the space. My vehicle has vented enough fuel vapor to cause health and fire hazards and trigger alerts of fuel vapor being over 5,000 ppm in the air in my garage. GM claims this is 'normal operation' designed to ensure the evap system can vent fuel before it causes vapor lock or a warped fuel tank. The level of fuel being vented poses a hazard to health and safety of people and a fire risk when parked indoors. A reasonable consumer should be able to park a properly filled vehicle in a legal garage in all areas of the US without fearing fuel vapor causing a fire within their home. I believe they did not adequately engineer these vehicles to prevent heat from the engine from intruding on the fuel tank when they moved the engine from the front to the rear of the Corvette platform given the tank is much closer than it was previously.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that upon parking and turning off the vehicle, the contact noticed that the radio, the infotainment screen, and the instrument cluster had failed to turn off. The contact stated that upon attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to restart. Additionally, a tow truck driver was unable to jump-start the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the 12-Volts battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred approximately 3 weeks later. The vehicle was driven back to the same dealer, where DTC: U164F was found, and the dealer reprogrammed the infotainment system. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred recently. The vehicle was driven back to the same dealer, but had yet to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and offered to buy back the vehicle; however, the manufacturer later withdrew the offer. The failure mileage was approximately 500.

STRUCTURE:BODY
The electronically-activated hood release, latching mechanism on my 2024 Chevrolet Corvette VIN 1G1YA2D42R5116964 has been repeatedly malfunctioning since August, 2025. The hood either pops open of its own accord or it will not close securely, leaving the occupants of the vehicle to speculate if the hood will spontaneously open blinding the driver in traffic.

WHEELS
From the day the vehicle was delivered, all four tires were losing air daily. No disclosure of punctures or defects was made by the dealership. After one week, a tire went flat and I purchased new replacement tires. Multiple shops, including Costco, refused to install the tires because they did not have equipment capable of working with carbon fiber wheels. A specialized exotic-car shop (Enzo Auto Center) attempted the installation. During the process, one of the carbon fiber wheels spontaneously ruptured/exploded, causing multiple fractures to the technician’s hand and arm. He required emergency medical treatment. After the incident, even an authorized Chevrolet dealership was unable to mount the tires, indicating a possible manufacturing or structural defect in the wheel assembly. The vehicle has now been inoperable for more than 2 months, and the dealership has not provided a resolution. This is a severe safety hazard, involving: catastrophic wheel failure, structural integrity concerns, risk of further injuries, and total loss of vehicle usability. An immediate investigation is requested.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
On August 1st, my '24 Z06 unexpectedly caught fire after a short evening of driving — 7 miles to dinner, 7 miles to a store, then 2 miles to drop my wife off at the grocery store. I was heading to refuel when the fire started. The car was in Sport Mode, so the fans were running. Thankfully, we were able to put it out. GM sent three inspectors, including an independent expert who noted that most fire cases he sees result in the car being reduced to a blob. On August 28, Scott Bell (VP of Global Chevrolet) told our dealer he would expedite a replacement. We placed the order — but the following week, GM reversed course, claiming the fire was caused by "non-car material" and not their responsibility. Meanwhile, our insurance company determined the fire originated from the gas vent system. They’ll cover the damage ($9,000), but not the cause — leaving us to pay $1,000 out-of-pocket for the vent system. No safety lights were indicated while driving, or even after the fire (it still starts). The car is in the process of being repaired, so probably no longer available to inspect. I, as the insurance company, believe this is related to the recall on this car

Per recall NHTSA ID Number: 25V536000 GM dealers still have No notice of this recall and known corrective actions to fix this fire risk. I’ve called several local dealerships in my area for the past several weeks to have vehicle repaired with zero help! These dealerships had to stop the sales of their z06/zr1 inventory until this issue was resolved which they have because they are now selling them but keep stating NO notice from GM is on file of corrective action to resolve fire risk on the vehicles privately owned that are affected.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
AEB came standard on my 2024 Corvette. It has never worked since the day I bought it [XXX]. The selling dealer, Service Chevrolet in Lafayette La. worked on it and GM said all systems checked OK. BUT THE AEB STILL DID NOT WORK. GM suggested another GM dealer try to fix it. The second GM dealer reported GM techs would not recommend anything because system tested OK. BUT AEB STILL DID NOT WORK. Third trip to original dealer same result-system tested OK so they did nothing BUT THE AEB STILL DOES NOT WORK. There is obviously a defect in the system and GM refuses to find it. I suspect this is just the tip of the AEB iceberg for GM. GM would rather stick their head in the sand than face the real problem they are facing.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
2024 Corvette included AEB. Window sticker shows AEB included. Build code shows AEB in build. Car one month old 650 miles. The sales dealership and second GM dealership communications with GM tech reads system as OK. BUT DOES NOT WORK. GM system tech says system reads OK BUT THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING HAS NEVER ASSISTED OAR APPLIED ONE OUNCE F BRAKES SINCE I BOUGHT IT 12/06/2024. I reported to GM consumer complaints and they keep reading from a script "if system check says vehicle is performing to specs, etc." BUT THE VEHICLE IS NOT PERFORMING TO SPECS. The AEB is not working at all. GMs refusal to address the problem is completly unsafe and unacceptable.

WHEELS, SERVICE BRAKES
Front wheels are defective confirmed by certified GM dealership which causes unsafe operation of vehicle. Even though wheels are in pristine condition GM will not cover replacement wheels under their warranty. I spoke with GM about the service bulletins they put out regarding the 2020&2021 castings issues with those wheels causing the same complaints however GM still won’t cover their apparent manufacturer’s issues with faulty wheel castings. Installing replacement OEM wheels from GM still will cause a significant safety issue with the vehicles irregular wear if tires and steering issues with these oblong wheels. No warning system notifications were prompted by the vehicle just a significant front end vibration also verified by GM corvette technician. Technician video taped wheels on a wheel balancing machine where it is visually apparent they are oblong. Purchasing aftermarket forged wheels that come with a full warranty instead of using the OEM GM wheels which are still clearly defective and will cause safety issues to include a possible loss of life with this issue they won’t even look into or take responsibility. Also rear brakes made a thumping noise after washing vehicle and parking it with the emergency brake set. Vehicle was looked at by corvette technician in conjunction with above stated wheel issue. GM corrected issue by tech driving vehicle for unspecified amount of time and called it repaired under their guidelines. No replacement of rotor, brake pads, calipers or any other part associated with this issue stated by customer service representative. I was told to not use the emergency brake or problem could arise again. I insisted that there is an issue with the braking system and wanted replacement parts installed under the manufacturers warranty but was denied and told No issue exists. EBrake is provided on vehicles as a safety mechanism and there is a significant problem with this system on this vehicle that GM won’t take responsibility!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
When driving, car will falsely and intermittently get random error codes on BUS module; resulting in a false FRUNK or Front Latch Service warning under Body Control Module code B1A5F or U164F for gateway. Chevy has found electrical connectors for car built in Nov/Dec 2023 which have plastic or bits inside the connectors making the electrical system have issues. However, even after addressing those faulty connectors they now think its also related to bad software. No resolution after 8 months of attempted repairs, and Chevy forums show other people with the BUS errors around same build time of end 2023. If you are driving car when these errors randomly pop in or out, the car will go into reduced power and speed limit of 25 MPH as it thinks the front trunk latch is open (when its closed). If on a highway, this can result in death or major accident. Multiple safety concerns go unaddressed by Chevy since early 2024 reports of issues.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
My 2024 Chevrolet Convertible has a safety issue with the Rear Vision Camera display. It has a severe reddish tint that blurs images when backing up but only when dark. Pictures attached. Is this truly normal? I wouldn’t think GM would engineer a safety issue and this is an aberration on my vehicle. Should be camera be moved? I really love the car, but this prevents me from using it at safely at night. Picture attached.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Reoccurrences of car losing all accleration while driving on highway, creating near pile up accidents due again on 7/16. Car gets a false warning signal that the front trunk hatch is open, when it is actually not; others report false Neutral signal; The car front trunk is properly latched, and there is no actual safety concern. However, the car immediate and without warning has the driver lose all power. I have now nearly been in 3 deadly accidents due to this failure over the past few weeks. Dealers and GM have not been helpful at all. Issue is intermittent and definitely an electrical or firmware gremblin. Ive seen multiple people post about this issue on the Corvette Forum as well!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
On July 1st, I had a defect in the electrical system of my Corvette nearly causing a major accident with several cars and trucks due to a immediate and unexpected loss of engine and propulsion. I was driving about 75 mph on highway in busy traffic. Car randomly and without any human input - flashed a false alarms for an open hood, although the hood was actually latched and perfectly closed. Alarms stated "close hood now, speed limited to 25 mph". Due to the fault, the car lost all ability to accelerate and quickly lost speed. As the car was going 75 at time of the alarm, the car QUICKLY dropped speeds without any brake lights due to the false fault. I could not accelerate to keep safe speed to get to the breakdown lane. The car immediately would not respond. The semi truck and cars behind me nearly rear ended me, which I had to quickly move lanes to avoid. The new lane change resulted in other cars barely missing and all coming to a screeching halt while my car rapidly decelerated <25 mph on the busy freeway. When the fault occurred - The hood was mechanically closed and fault went away just by restarting the car/engine. Issue occurred 10:11 AM on July 1 Very terrifying event, but it has not yet reoccurred over past 2 days since first observed. I am reporting this as it was nearly a major accident and luckily no one was injured.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I got locked in my car while a software update was taking place. I was running errand on a very hot day, I went to exit the car and the infotainment system did not shut off like usual, on the info screen was a very dim notice to start a software update, I hit the start now button, exited the car, did my business in the bank, went back to my car, used the electric button to open the door, got in and closed the door. When in the car I tried to start it...it would not start. After checking around the car was dead as if someone had pulled the battery out, no lights, no onstar, no power window and worst of all the electric door open button would not open the door! It was a very warm day, sunny and over 90deg F. Fortunately I remembered the manual door open lever, someone new to the car would have been trapped in the car for as long as 15min in the sweltering hot interior. There is no strong warnings for this, owners manual says nothing about being locked in, people on the forums for Corvette say that the warning in on the info screen but you have to advance a random screen to see it....Scary moment for sure.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
hi there have 2024 C8 Corvette purchased new in April 2024. Vehicle interior is the tan leather including the dash board. Due to the light color, sunlight reflects off of the dash cover causing severe glare and visibility. The HUD display makes it worse. (FYI: Our other vehicle has a black dash and HUD with no problems or issues) Have already had 2 incidents where , while making right turns from a stop, almost hit pedestrians. Passenger (Wife), saw pedestrians from her angle and I was able to stop. when the sun refracts just right washing out momentarily line of sight. I have seen other persons on the Corvette forums complain about similar issues and supposedly, GM is aware of this since 2021?. I installed and flat black soft dash cover to minimize the glare and reflections, but this is only a temporary fix. If GM installed flat black dash covers while keeping the other interior colors the same. It should be fine. Recommend for a permanent fix, either replace the light dash covers or have a leather material slip on facade as and upgrade.
