FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE ODOR OF FUEL CAN BE SMELLED WHILE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE SMELL IS COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL AREA. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THAT GM USED FAULTY FUEL PUMPS/SEALS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FAULT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TERRIBLE GAS FUMES SMELL WHEN I FILL TANK OVER HALF FULL! FUMES EVEN INSIDE CAR WHEN WINDOWS CLOSED AND WHEN GARAGED THE SMELL IS SO STRONG I THINK A OPEN FLAME WOULD CAUSE AN EXPLOSION! THIS HAS GONE ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND NOT GOTTEN FIXED BECAUSE OF REPORTED COST AND I THINK GM SHOULD FIX. I THINK THIS IS A HEALTH AND DANGER HAZARD AND WOULD HOPE GM WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS ON MY 2008 CORVETTE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AS OF DECEMBER 2018, ALL CARS WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEMS THAT HAVE AN INCORPORATED CLOCK, CLOCKS STOPPED WORKING, THE REASON IS SUPPOSABLY DUE TO A CHANGE IN THE GOVERNMENT SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY. SO THERE IS NO WAY TO CORRECT THIS WITHOUT A SOFTWARE FIX, THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ONLY ON THE 2006 CORVETTE, BUT MANY OTHER CARS AS WELL

STEERING, WHEELS
I BOUGHT THIS USED CORVETTE BACK IN THE SUMMER OF 2015. AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR I NOTICED VIBRATION PROBLEM AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MILES PER HOUR. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT ONLY SHAKING ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE CAR WAS PHYSICALLY VIBRATING AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT BECAUSE IT ONLY HAD 1289 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A VIBRATION PROBLEM EARLY ON AND WAS CHECKED AT 570 MILES AT STEVE SCHMITT CHEVY BUT NEVER SAW IT AGAIN. THOUGHT ISSUE WAS FIXED. I BROUGHT CAR BACK TO BILL STASEK CHEVY WHERE I PURCHASED CAR WITH FULL WARRANTY AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE VIBRATION PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT BY REPLACING 2 FRONT TIRES AND REBALANCING THE REAR TIRES.THEY DROVE IT AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. DROVE IT HOME AND IT WAS MUCH BETTER THAN BEFORE. SEVERAL WEEKS WENT BY AND ONCE AGAIN THE VIBRATION AND STEERING ISSUE RETURNED. SO I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND EXPLAINED THAT THE SAME VIBRATION PROBLEM HAD ONCE AGAIN RETURNED.THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID THE REPAIR VIA THE SERVICE BULLETIN THAT CAME OUT ON THAT VIBRATION ISSUE FROM GM.EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THAT WAS ALL THEY COULD DO AND THEY KNEW THERE IS A DEFECT IN THAT YEAR CAR BUT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. SO HERE I SIT WITH A 76,000 DOLLAR CORVETTE WITH 5000 MILES ON IT AND A VIBRATION THAT KNOW ONE CAN OR WILL FIX.I CAN'T FIND THE SERVICE BULLETIN BUT THE MECHANIC WHO DID THE WORK ON MY CAR DID SHOW IT TO ME AT THE DEALERSHIP. I THINK SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS.I FEEL IT'S UNSAFE AND IF THE CAR IS BUILT WITH THIS KNOWN DEFECT IT SHOULD BE FINED OR AT LEAST RECALL ALL C-6 CORVETTES WITH THIS ISSUE. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE BECAUSE I GET I CORVETTE FORUM AND HEARD OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AS WELL.

LEFT REAR WHEEL CRACKED AFTER 10,500 MILES. ONLY APPARENT SYMPTOM WAS A SLOW LEAK IN THE TIRE. ALL MILES ARE HIGHWAY MILES WITH NO TRACK DAYS. TOOK THE CAR TO A CHEVROLET DEALER FOR SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WHEEL WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO GIVEN A LETTER FROM GM STATING THAT THIS WAS THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY.

WHEELS
CAR SAT STILL FOR THREE DAYS AND WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE IT, THE COMPUTER TOLD ME THAT MY LEFT REAR TIRE WAS DEFLATED TO ONLY 14 PSI INSTEAD OF 30 PSI. THEY ARE RUN FLAT TIRES, SO YOU CAN'T TELL IF THEY ARE FLAT. TOOK IT TO A CORVETTE MECHANIC AND WHEN HE REMOVED THE WHEEL, HE FOUND A GOOD SIZE CRACK IN THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL AND AIR WAS LEAKING FROM THAT CRACK. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AFTER I FILLED IT BACK TO 30 PSI AND ORDERED A NEW WHEEL. THIS MORNING I CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND THE PSI IS DOWN TO 20 OVERNIGHT. I HAVE NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES OR RACED THE CAR. THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL OR TIRE.
