WHEELS
7/11/19 - TRAVELLING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH APPROXIMATELY 1700 MILES ON A 2019 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT I STARTED TO NOTICE A VIBRATION WHILE TRAVELLING AROUND 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 3000 MILES ON IT AND THE VIBRATION HAS BECOME WORSE SO THAT IT IS NOTICEABLE AT ANY SPEED. THE VIBRATION CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE ENTIRE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. LOOKING AT THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT SMOOTH ROAD IT IS POSSIBLE TO WATCH THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATE. ON A LONG ROAD TRIP THE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO STARTED TO CAUSE NUMBNESS IN MY HANDS. 7/15/19 - MY FIRST COURSE OF ACTION WAS TO HAVE THE WHEELS CHECKED FOR BALANCE, SHIFTED OR BROKEN BELT IN THE TIRE. THE TIRE REPAIR FACILITY SAID THE BALANCE AND TIRES LOOKED GOOD. (NO CHARGE) 7/18/19 - NEXT STEP WAS TO HAVE THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED. AFTER A MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT THE VIBRATION PERSISTED. (RECEIPT IS CURRENTLY IN VEHICLE AT DEALERSHIP) 7/19/19 - NEXT I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT ALL SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS ARE GOOD, BUT ALL 4 WHEELS ARE BENT. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE TIRES OR WHEELS FROM AN OUTSIDE OBJECT SUCH AS A CURB OR ROAD DEBRIS. (DEALERSHIP IS TO BE COMPLETING DOCUMENTATION ON 7/22/19 REGARDING POSSIBLE WARRANTY AND SAFETY CONCERN COMMUNICATION TO GENERAL MOTORS) MY CONCERN IS THAT THE VIBRATION WILL CONTINUE TO GET WORSE AND CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT. *TR COMPLAINT DOES NOT MATCH CARFAX VEHICLE INFO. *JB

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF AN OWNER OF A 2004 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DUE TO A FUEL LEAK. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE PLASTIC OPENING OF THE FUEL TANK, WHICH CONNECTED A PRIMARY TANK TO THE SECONDARY TANK HOSE, WAS FRACTURED AND FUEL WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK AND CROSSOVER COMPONENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2008 CHEVY CORVETTE A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE FILLED THE GARAGE AFTER PARKING IT. I TOOK IT TO A AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING. I'VE READ WHERE OTHER CORVETTE OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

WHEELS
AFTER JUST 3,910 MILES THE TIRES WERE WORN PAST THE POINT OF INSPECTION. GM HAS SAID THIS IS NORMAL WEAR, IF NOT FOR THE ANNUAL INSPECTION STICKER I WOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN THESE TIRES A SECOND THOUGHT. TIRES WORN OUT IN JUST 3,910 MILES IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND TO THINK THAT 3-4 SETS OF TIRES ANNUALLY FOR SOMEONE WHO WOULD DRIVE THIS TO WORK DAILY IS JUST RIDICULOUS.HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER INSTALL SUCH A TIRE ON A STREET DRIVEN AUTOMOBILE? THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THESE TIRES PREMATURELY WEAR ON THE SALES LITERATURE OR INSTRUCTED BY THE DEALER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A MESSAGE ON MY DASHBOARD STATING "SERVICE STEERING COLUMN LOCK". THIS MESSAGE TRIGGERS A FUEL SHUTOFF AT 2 MPH. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED TO ME AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I DREAD TO IMAGINE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS HAPPENING IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING AT SPEED ON A HIGHWAY OR BUSY STREET.

WHEELS
THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 10K MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR MONITOR FOR THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE CAME ON. IMMEDIATELY WENT TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THE WHEEL HAD A CRACK IN IT; WOULD NEED A NEW WHEEL. WAS TOLD WOULD TAKE AT LEAST A MONTH FOR THE PART TO COME IN; IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING, COULD NOT WAIT A MONTH. FOUND A RIM REPAIR SHOP THAT REPAIRED THE CRACK AND ALSO NOTED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WAS BENT. THE REPAIR SHOP FIXED BOTH PROBLEMS OR SO I THOUGHT. WAS TRAVELING TO MY NEW WORK DESTINATION AND THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE SENSOR LIGHT CAME BACK ON. FOUND ANOTHER RIM REPAIR SHOP WHO TOLD ME THAT I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE - THE WHEEL HAD OTHER CRACKS IN IT. HAD TO ORDER A NEW WHEEL FROM A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP.

STEERING
LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST AT 198, 213, 268, 305, AND 314 MILES. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW ON JUNE 29, 2019 AND NOW HAS 322 MILES ON IT. INCIDENTS OCCURRED WHILE BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, CHANGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH, ON A HIGHWAY CURVE AT 55 MPH, ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT 25 MPH, AND COMING TO A STOP IN A TURN LANE. DEALER I WENT TO AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE RESET THE CODE (CO47A) AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. POWER STEERING ASSIST WOULD RETURN AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT. SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS ON GM RECALL N182182760 AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 19V086000

STEERING
I ATTENDED A TWO-DAY NCM TRACK EVENT AT VIR IN JUNE 2019. DURING THE SECOND SESSION ON DAY TWO MY 2018 Z06 HAD A POWER STEERING ISSUE. WITHOUT ANY WARNING, I FELT AND HEARD A LOUD THUMP THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AS I APPROACHED TURN 3 FROM NO-NAME, I HAD VERY LITTLE STEERING ABILITY THAT REQUIRED HEAVY HANDED INPUT ON THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING ME TO LIFT AND BRAKE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM RUNNING OFF THE TRACK. THEN I RECEIVED A DIC MESSAGE ON THE DASH TO 'SERVICE POWER STEERING GEAR.' I COME IN TO LET THE CAR COOL DOWN AND WENT BACK OUT LATER WITH NO ISSUES BUT WAS NOT RUNNING HAS HARD AS BEFORE. THIS POWER STEERING OVERHEATING ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING WHEN ON THE TRACK APPROACHING A TURN GOING 70 TO 80 MPH. THE OUTSIDE TEMP WAS 90 DEGREES AND THE COOLING SYSTEM WAS RUNNING AROUND 240 DEGREES. THERE IS A GM PRELIMINARY INFORMATION ABOUT REDUCTION IN STEERING ASSIST WHILE DRIVING ON THE TRACK DURING HOT DAYS. BULLETIN NO.: PI1535B DATE: NOV-2017 THAT REQUIRES TO INSTALL A NEW POWER STEERING GEAR COOLING DUCT FOR 2014-2018 CHEVROLET CORVETTE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL LEAK. CAN SMELL FUEL WHEN CAR IS PARKED IN GARAGE. FUEL SMELL LEAKS INTO VEHICLE CABIN AND INTO ATTACHED HOUSE. THIS PROBLEM IS BELIEVED TO BE CAUSED BY A BROKEN FITTING ON THE FUEL PUMP MODULE, LOCATED ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. GM DID A SERVICE BULLETIN 17469, BUT THIS ONLY COVERS VEHICLES LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD. THIS PROBLEM MAY PRESENT ITSELF ON VEHICLES THAT ARE OLDER THAN TEN YEARS, IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR THE PLASTIC FUEL PUMP FITTING TO DETERIORATE.

WHEELS
BOTH REAR RIMS HAVE CRACKS IN THEM. THE LEFT REAR RIM HAS 3 1" CRACKS ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE RIM, THE RIGHT SIDE HAS 2 1" CRACKS ON THE INSIDE OF THE RIM. THE CAR HAS 13,000 MILES ON IT.. THE CRACKS CAUSE THE TIRES TO LOSE AIR. THE RIMS ARE NOT REPAIRABLE AND GM REFUSES TO WARRANT THE DEFECTIVE RIMS. THE DAMAGE OCCURRED IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS CAR IS STORED IN THE WINTER MONTHS AND IS NOT DRIVEN FOR 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. I HAD A TIRE GAUGE INDICATE THAT MY RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS DOWN TO 24LBS. I PUMPED UP THE TIRE AND WATCHED IF FOR A COULPE OF DAYS. IT CONTINUED TO LOOSE AIR PRESSURE SO I TOOK IT TO A QUALIFIED TIRE DEALERSHIP THINKING I HAD A PUNCTURED TIRE. THE SHOP NOTIFIED ME THAT THE TIRE WAS FINE BUT THAT THE RIM HAD 3 ONE INCH CRACKS IN IT. I WENT TO MY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP HAD THEM DOCUMENT THE ISSUE TAKE PICTURES AND NOTIFY GM OF MY CLAIM. GM REJECTED THE CLAIM WITH IN 2 HOURS AND CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO ROAD HAZZARDS.
