WHEELS
I went to the Chevy Dealer for service and to investigate a tire that keeps losing air. The dealership advised that the 2 rear wheels both have cracks that are consistent with a known problem in this model vehicle. They also documented that the two front wheels have bends also associated with a known defect in this model vehicle.

POWER TRAIN
A mismatched gear indicator where the dashboard shows "Park" but the transmission is actually in "Reverse" is dangerous that creates a severe rollaway risk.When this first happened I pulled into my garage and put the car into park and took my foot off brake and with out me realizing the car was moving backwards I nearly ran over someone. Could've been very serious.I had the vehicle inspected at the dealer and told them this is serious safety issue, they said they could do nothing about it because the car was no longer under warranty. the car has about 14000 miles on it.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
While driving normally, I was in the middle of a busy highway/intersection when the vehicle suddenly lost power and came to a complete stop. The vehicle shut itself off without warning, leaving the Corvette disabled in the roadway and causing a complete blockage of the road/intersection. Traffic was actively traveling around me, creating a serious safety hazard and putting both myself and other motorists at risk of a collision. After the vehicle stopped, it would not restart. The instrument cluster displayed a theft-deterrent/immobilizer warning and a lock/security symbol, along with a message stating that there could be a problem with the theft-deterrent system and referring to Immobilizer Operation. The vehicle has full electrical power, but when attempting to start it, it only clicks and the engine does not crank or start. I placed the key fob in the designated backup location as instructed in the owner’s manual, but the vehicle still would not start. The exact failed component has not yet been diagnosed or confirmed. The vehicle is available for inspection. The sudden and unexpected loss of power while I was in the middle of a busy highway/intersection caused an immediate and serious safety concern because the vehicle became completely disabled and blocked the roadway.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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 happen, I had it looked at and they replaced an electric brake module etc but that clearly didn't work. I've read of a few other similar incidents on various forums. There aren't a lot of these cars produced so far but if there's cases already popping up, something isn't right.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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)

WHEELS
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 rear rims, however, GM never did any refunds or tried to correct this safety issue.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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 while surrounded by fast moving traffic. This created an extremely dangerous situation, and I narrowly avoided multiple collisions before I was finally able to reach the side of an exit ramp. After stopping, I exited the vehicle and noticed smoke coming from the engine compartment. When I looked underneath the vehicle, there was a large pool of engine oil leaking onto the ground, and I believe I also saw oil on the side of the engine. The car had to be towed, and I was stranded on the side of the highway for hours. I also had to pay around $750 in towing expenses that I had to pay out of pocket. This incident was especially concerning because the vehicle has had multiple problems since I purchased it. These include a bracket rubbing against other components and causing damage, the air conditioning not functioning properly, and an unusually loud belt noise while driving. I purchased this vehicle brand new with the expectation that it would be reliable and safe. Instead, I have experienced repeated issues, culminating in an incident that placed my safety at high risk. I am requesting that General Motors and the dealership thoroughly investigate this vehicle and provide an appropriate resolution. Given the repeated defects and the severity of this highway failure, I am requesting an exchange for another new Corvette. I have several friends who own 2025 and earlier Corvette models and have not experienced these types of issues, which further reinforces my concerns.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES
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 was told the part would be ordered and should arrive in about a week. After weeks with no update, I contacted the dealership. On XXX the customer service representative informed me the part was no longer available from GM. He stated the only option was to disconnect the sensor, which would leave the Active Handling/Stability Control system nonfunctional. I requested the part number and began searching for availability myself. Over the next two weeks, I conducted daily searches across GM parts suppliers, aggregators, and Corvette specialty sources. No new or NOS units were available anywhere. GM has discontinued the part without providing a replacement or superseding part number. This means the federally required stability control system cannot be repaired and the vehicle cannot be returned to safe operating condition. GM has provided no remedy or guidance, leaving owners unable to fix a critical safety component. I request NHTSA investigate GM’s discontinuation of this essential part and determine whether a recall or mandated remedy is necessary.

Just recently I noticed that the leather on my dashboard has started to become unglued. My concern is 1) this is a defect that is common to not only C6 corvette modes (mine) but to C7 (google it on the internet) and some C8 models (information from Service Manager at Tasca Corvette in Wheeling, Illinois when he inspected my vehicle yesterday), 2) since there is an airbag in this location what affect will the loose dashboard leather have on the deployment of the airbag(s) thus becoming a safety issue.

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.

Fuel system leak. Strong odor of gasoline fuel both around and inside the vehicle. No noticeable fuel product on the ground or underneath the vehicle. I am greatly concerned that this is a very significant fire and vehicle operator/occupant safety hazard. I have also found many other C6 generation Corvette owners online that are experiencing the same thing to their C6 Corvette.
