ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, WHEELS
VEH PURCHASED 9/2015 AND SO FAR I HAVE REPLACE FOUR REAR RIMS AND ONE FRONT. ALL HAVE HAIR LINE CRACKS ON THE INSIDE OF RIM CAUSING RADICAL AIR LOSS, VIBRATION AND TIRE WEAR. NAVIGATION SCREEN FLICKERS AND GOES ON AND OFF AT LEAST TWO TIMES A WEEK AND I HAVE TO OPEN AND CLOSE TO RESTART SCREEN. BLOWER MOTOR WENT OUT AT 37K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS BUCKING, VIBRATING, SHUDDERING AND GOING INTO 5TH GEAR AT 31MPH AND FEELS LIKE IT IS HANGING UP IN 5TH GEAR THE CLUNKS DOWN TO FIRST AT 10MPH. WENT TO DEALER, THEY CLAIMED THEY DID A SOFTWARE UP DATE AND THINGS ARE FINE. LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND CAME BACK 5 MIN LATER WITH SAME ISSUE. TOOK SERVICE MANAGER FOR A RIDE AND HE CONFIRMED THE HORRIBLE RIDE. HAVE TO TAKE BACK ON TUESDAY 5/28 AND IT FEELS LIKE THE DRIVE SHAFT OR REAR END WILL FALL OUT. THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. I HOPE NOTHING HAPPENS TO ME OR THE CAR.

AIR BAGS
LAST WEEK THE RED AIR BAG LIGHT LOCATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON MY 2010 CORVETTE CAME ON INDICATING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE OPERATIONS OF MY AIR BAG, AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ITEM REQUIRED ON VEHICLES BY FEDERAL LAW. DOING SOME WEB RESEARCH, I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN #15643 DATED FOR VEHICLES REPAIRED ON OR AFTER 4/21/16. WHILE THE 10-PAGE NOTICE PROVIDES ALL THE DETAILS, IN SHORT, A CONNECTOR WAS DEFECTIVE. TAKING MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER TODAY, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLES PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A CONNECTOR THAT WAS UNPLUGGED, PROBABLY DUE TO SEAT MOVEMENT. SO, MY EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT G.M. IS COVERING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IT IS NOT COVERING THE EXACT PROBLEM ON THE PASSENGER SEAT? I AM CERTAIN THE CONNECTOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED BY THE SAME ENGINEER THAT DESIGNED THE ONE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I AM CERTAIN THEY WERE BOTH MANUFACTURED BY THE SAME VENDOR. I AM CERTAIN THE MATERIALS ARE THE SAME. THE RESULTING PROBLEM IS THE SAME. THE PASSENGER SIDE CONNECTOR PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND G.M. SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I BOUGHT A 2004 CORVETTE USED WITH 67K MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP HAD ONLY FILLED THE TANK TO LESS THAN HALF FULL.,AFTER MY FIRST FILL UP GAS POURED OUT FROM UNDERNEATH, BEHIND DRIVERS SIDE TIRE. I PAID $ 16,500 FOR THE CAR , SO I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPAIR. AFTER ABOUT 10 DAYS I WENT TO DEALER AND NOTICED THE CAR HAD NOT EVEN MOVED. HE SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT AND THEY HAD ANOTHER DEALERSHIP IN ANOTHER STATE THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO. I LEFT WITH THE CAR UNREPAIRED.IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO ? I BELIEVE IT IS A RECALL ON THE CROSSOVER TUBE AND THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED. CLOSE TO A $1500 TO $1800 REPAIR
