STRUCTURE:BODY
WHILE DRIVING AT 20-30 MPH, THE FRONT HOOD RELEASED AND THE HOOD OPENED TO A NEAR VERTICAL POSITION. AFTER STOPPING I CLOSED THE HOOD BUT IT TOOK A LOT OF EFFORT. WHEN CLOSED THE HOOD NOW IS RECESSED NEAR THE HINGES AND THERE IS SOME PAINT DAMAGE TO THE EDGES OF THE HOOD AND FENDERS. IT APPEARS THAT THE HINGES ARE DAMAGED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY ARE TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE WITH CHEVY ENGINEERING. THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY RE-OCCURE.

WHEELS
THE WHEELS ON MY 2019 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT ARE CRACKING. THE DEALERSHIP AND GM DON'T SEEM TO BE INTERESTED IN FIXING THEM. THIS CAR IS DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY, NEVER TRACKED AND NEVER DRIVEN HARD. THE WHEELS SHOULD BE ABLE TO STAND UP TO REGULAR DRIVING AS WELL AS THE TRACK SINCE THEY PROMOTED IT AS A TRACK READY CAR. SO FAR THE WHEELS ARE HOLDING AIR BUT FOR HOW LONG I DON'T KNOW. AND HOW SAFE IS IT TO BE DRIVING AROUND ON CRACKED WHEELS? I AM AWARE THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH GM AND THEY SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF LOYAL CUSTOMERS.

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH COMES ON FOR THE DRIVER SIDE FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE AIR BAG IS NON-FUNCTIONAL. SOMETIMES, IF I ADJUST THE SEAT FORWARD, BACKWARD, UP, AND DOWN, THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF, BUT NO ALWAYS. I'VE HAD THE CAR INTO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE REPAIR COST $120 AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SEVER GAS SMELL OCCURS SPORADICALLY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I CAN'T DRIVE WITH THE TOP UP OR PLACE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE. IT WENT TO CHEVY THE FIRST OCCURRENCE AND THEY DID NOT INSPECT, BUT DID SAY THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. IT HAS SINCE HAD ANOTHER 4 OCCURRENCES OF GAS SMELL. IT IS NOT OVERFLOW BECAUSE THE TAK WAS LESS THAN 1/2 FULL 3 OF 4 TIMES THIS HAPPENED.

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT INITIALLY SMELLED AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED SPOTS AROUND HIS LEFT REAR TIRE IN HIS DRIVEWAY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP, AND THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. SINCE THE REPAIR, THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS FUEL GAUGE HAD BECOME DEFECTIVE AND WOULD GIVE FALSE READINGS. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH BURNS CHEVROLET OF GAFFNEY (101 PEACHOID RD, GAFFNEY, SC 29341) WHERE HE ATTEMPTED TO PURCHASE A FUEL PUMP BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE MANUFACTURER HAD YET TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FUEL GAUGE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,100.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE HOOD POPPED OPEN WHILE DRIVING DAMAGING THE CAR. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER. I WAS DRIVING AT 43MPH WHEN THE HOOD FLEW OPEN BLOCKING MY VISION AND DAMAGING THE CAR. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT FROM THE PERFORMANCE DATA RECORDER IN THE CAR. THE HOOD HAD NOT BEEN OPENED AT ALL THE DAY THIS OCCURRED AND I HAD DRIVEN ON MULTIPLE OTHER ROADS INCLUDING THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE CAR HAD JUST OVER 1400 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.

WHEELS
DRIVING ON REGULAR ROAD WITH NO POT HOLE THE RIGHT REAR STARTED TO LEAK TO FIND OUT AFTER TWO DAYS FOUND OUT AFTER THE WHEEL WAS REMOVED TO SEE IF IT WAS THE TIRE TO FIND OUT THE RIM CRACKED WITH 7200 MILES, THEM A MONTH THE LEFT WHEEL STARTED TO LOOSE AIR TO FIND OUT THE LEFT RIM WITH 2 CRACKS . WITH 7215 MILES. NO REFUND OR ASSISTANCE FROM THE CHEVY DEALER. THANK GOODNESS I HAD PURCHASED TIRE INSURANCE. THERE MUST BE A DEFECT IN THE CHEAP CHINESE STEEL. WHILE I WAS IN THE TIRE REPAIR SHOP, 3 OTHERS CORVETTES WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. ONE VET HAD THE RIM WELDED 3 TIMES BEFORE HE PURCHASED A NEW SET. GM SHOULD HAVE THIS ON RECALL OR HIGH SAFETY CONCERNS

STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY/WIPER
I JUST GOT MY 2020 CORVETTE DELIVERED LAST WEEK. I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THE CAR AND TODAY I WAS DRIVING UP PCH TOWARDS MALIBU. WENT UP TO 80-90 MPH AT TIMES. DROVE FOR ABOUT 100 MILES. I STOPPED TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT. GOT BACK IN MY CAR AND PROCEEDED UP THE CANYONS FOR SOME SPIRITED DRIVING. THE CAR IS ALREADY BROKEN IN AT 1300 MILES. I DECIDED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO TAKE SOME PICTURES OF THE CAR. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON AND LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING WITH THE KEY FOB IN THE CUPHOLDER. AFTER I GOT THE SHOTS I WANTED, I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE DOWN THE CANYON AND WITHIN 15 SECONDS I HEARD THE FRONT HOOD LATCH CLICK/THUMP (SAME SOUND YOU HEAR WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON TO POP THE HOOD) RIGHT BEFORE I SAW THE HOOD FLY UP AND HEARD A SNAP. SUDDEN LOSS OF VISIBILITY ALMOST CAUSED MY CAR TO GO OFF THE CLIFF AS I COULDN'T SEE THE TURN. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE GOING OFF THE ROAD. THE HOOD DID NOT HIT MY FRONT WINDSHIELD, BUT THERE IS SEVERE HINGE DAMAGE AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO BOTH FENDERS AND THE FRONT HOOD. I HAD MY WINDOWS DOWN AND MY ROOF OFF, DID NOT HAVE THE RADIO ON AND IT WAS QUIET ROAD. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT THE HOOD LATCH WAS OPEN/DISENGAGED. EVEN WHEN THE HOOD FLEW UP, THERE WAS NO INDICATOR LIGHT OR BEEPING. I PUT THE HOOD BACK DOWN AS CAREFULLY AS I COULD.I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TRY MY BEST TO CLOSE THE HOOD SINCE I WAS IN AN AREA WITH NO RECEPTION IN ORDER TO KEEP DRIVING. IN THE CLOSED POSITION, THE HOOD IS NOW ABOUT 3/4 TO 1 INCH LOWER THAN EACH FENDER. SUPER PARANOID I TRIED TO DRIVE AS SLOWLY AS I CAN HOME, BUT I DID REACH SPEED UP TO 55 MPH. THANKFULLY IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. GM SPOKESPERSON BLAMES IT ON USER ERROR. I GUARANTEE YOU GUYS THIS IS NOT USER ERROR

I HAD MY TIRES CHANGED OUT AT LESS THAN 16,000 MILES!! ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AND 4,000 MILES LATER MY TPS LET ME KNOW I WAS LOSING TIRE PRESSURE IN MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE. I MONITORED IT AND REALIZED I WAS LOSING ABOUT 5 PSI PER WEEK. I HAVE THE ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY SO I TOOK IT BACK TO MY TIRE GUY. AFTER PULLING THE WHEEL AND TIRE OFF, THEY SPRAYED SOME SOAPY WATER ON IT. THEY FOUND TWO CRACKS ON THE INNER LIP OF THE RIM. THE CRACKS ARE ABOUT 3 INCHES IN LENGTH GOING FROM THE INNER LIP HEADING OUT. THE CRACKS ARE ABOUT 10 INCHES APART FROM EACH OTHER.
