2006 CORVETTE ROOF DELAMINATION AND DETACHMENT WHICH COULD LEAD TO INJURY TO INDIVIDUALS IN NEAR PROXIMITY TO VEHICLE WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN - DETACHMENT HASN'T OCCURRED YET HOWEVER IN MY OPINION POSES A SERIOUS RISK OF INJURY TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. *NM

STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS
I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE AT AROUND 50 MPH, AND THE PAINTED ROOF SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND TOOK THE ROOF OFF, AND WENT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT IT WAS USUALLY A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR YOU TO GO IN AND HAVE IT INSPECTED, AND IF IT CHECKED OUT TO BE BAD, THEY WOULD FIX IT. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULDN'T GET A ROOF PANEL FOR THIS CAR FOR 20-30 DAYS AND THAT THEY WOULD GIVE ME LOANER AND I COULD LEAVE THE CAR THERE. I AM OUT OF TOWN ON BUSINESS, AND WILL NOT BE HERE FOR 20- 30 DAYS, AND MY OPINION WOULD BE THAT IF THE DEALERS KNOW THERE IS A RECALL, THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OF PANELS AVAILABLE IF THE ROOF IS UNDER RECALL. I ALSO BELIEVE THEY SHOULD REPLACE ALL THESE PANELS ON ALL VIN NUMBERS AFFECTED. THE ROOF PANEL COMING LOOSE AND FLYING OFF AND EITHER DAMAGING MY VEHICLE, OR EVEN WORSE, CAUSING A LOSS OF LIFE TO SOMEONE IN THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WOULD BE TRAGIC. CHEVROLET SHOULD OWN UP TO THEIR ERRORS AND FIX THE PROBLEM PROPERLY, NOT BY REPAIRING THE PANELS THAT WERE DEFECTIVE. THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED. *NM

2005 CHEVY CORVETTE. HAS REMOVABLE ROOF TOP, THAT HAS FAILED MANY TIMES, LOCAL DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO REPLACE WITH NEW PART BUT WANTS TO "SQUIRT GLUE" INTO IT TO MAKE RIGHT, WHICH WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HAVE ASKED GM FOR NEW TOP, OR GLASS TOP SO I DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY IF I WILL KILL SOMEONE WITH THE TOP FLYING OFF! GM IS NO HELP OR WILL RETURN MY PHONE CALLS. *JB

STEERING
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED A RECALL NOTICE #04V060000 WAS RECEIVED ON THE 2002 MODEL FOR ONE OF THE TWO VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL REGARDING THE STEERING. THE 2002 WAS TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEALER IN 2004 FOR THE REMEDY REPAIR WHERE A PROGRAMMING CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2006, WHEN THE 2002 VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE DRIVING INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYED THAT THE STEERING HAD LOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT ALSO OWNED A 2001 OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL BUT A RECALL NOTICE WAS NOT RECEIVED FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE STEERING MAY ALSO LOCK ON THIS VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DETERMINED THE 2001 VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:HOSES/LINES/PIPING/FITTINGS
POTENTIAL LOSS OF COOLANT, ENGINE OVERHEAT, LOSS OF VISIBILITY- INSPECTING UNDER THE HOOD DURING OIL CHANGE, I FOUND THE COOLANT AIR BLEED HOSE RUBBING THROUGH ON THE BOTTOM CORNER OF THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. I TWISTED HOSE AWAY AND PLACED A PLASTIC CONDUIT OVER THE HOSE IN THIS AREA. THIS IS THE SMALL HOSE (8MM ID)LEFT OF THE THROTTLE BODY LEADING FORWARD TO THE COOLANT LINES LEADING TO THE SURGE TANK. HOSE WILL BE REPLACED SOON. *JB

I HAD SEPARATION ON MY ORIGINAL TOP AND RECEIVED THE "FIX" AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL MEMO BY GM, HOWEVER, THE NEW TOP WITH THE "FIX" IS SEPARATING ALSO. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG BEFORE GM STOPS TRYING TO PATCH THE PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO MAKE THE TOP ONE PIECE. *JB

SHORTLY AFTER DELIVERY IN JAN. 2006, MY 2006 C6 CORVETTE COUPE REMOVABLE TOP STARTED MAKING CREAKING AND POPPING NOISES. AS IT BEGAN TO BE MORE FREQUENT AND NOISY, I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR WARRANTY SERVICE. THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE TOP HOLD DOWN CLAMPS. FOR AWHILE, IT APPEARED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. HOWEVER, THE TOP HAS STARTED MAKING THE SAME NOISES AGAIN. NOW, I FIND THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TOP. *JB

WHEELS:RIM
THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL ON MY 2002 CORVETTE COUPE HAS A CRACK IN 2 OF THE SPOKES. I TOOK IT IN TO MY CHEVY DEALER (CREST CHEVROLET), THEY TOOK PICTURES AND SUBMITTED A CLAIM TO GM. THE GM REP. HAD THE DEALER TAKE THE TIRE OFF THE WHEEL AND SEE IF THE CRACKS GO THROUGH TO THE INSIDE AND GET THE FACTORY NUMBER OFF THE INSIDE & VERIFY IT WAS A GM WHEEL. THE DEALER SERVICE REP CALLED ME AND SAID GM AGREED TO PAY FOR HALF THE COST OF THE WHEEL. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT GM'S OFFER WAS NOT SATISFACTORY AND I WOULD PROCEED IN FILING FORMAL COMPLAINTS. THEY FACT THAT THESE WHEELS ARE A PROBLEM THAT GM IS AWARE OF HAS BEEN DISCUSSED AND DOCUMENTED ON THE CORVETTEFORUM.COM WEBSITE. HTTP://FORUMS.CORVETTEFORUM.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=1461736. *JB
