11/05/2024 ODI #11623627.0

The factory supplied OEM GM wheels on this vehicle are cracking in the rims. This is not due to striking any road hazards whatsoever, there is simply a manufacturing defect within the wheel itself. My vehicle is a 2015, but only has 23000 miles on it. My rear left tire developed an air leak which was the initial hint that something was wrong. The crack was confirmed as the cause by my auto shop. I had this repaired via a weld, but the future structural soundness of the wheel is suspect. The shop has repaired many Corvette wheels like mine and most have come back again for the same problem. I had the other wheels inspected and found out the left front wheel is cracked as well. I am replacing the wheels with mono block forged wheels from an aftermarket supplier at my own expense due to ha

2015 z06 corvette cracked 3 rear wheels (20" diameter). One at 24,000 miles, one at 30,000 miles and one at 40,000 miles. Car is only driven to work on interstate quality roads. No in town driving. All wheel cracked on the inside. The cracks started at the outer edge, down the rim, then toward the center of the wheel. When the crack propagated past the outer bead of the tire, the wheel started leaking air. I have two of the cracked wheels presently. None of the wheels are bent.

When I took the car into a discount tire store to have new tires put on the back at about 15,600 miles on the car cracks were found on the inside rim where tire bead seals of both back wheels. Problem was immediately reported to dealer who verified cracks, but dealer and gm refused to replace unless I purchase new wheels for discounted price of $1,100.00 for rear wheels only. Spoke with representatives of gm engineering and found problem is a known issue with rear wheel cracking going back several years with cast china made wheels on corvette z06 and zr1 models. I was told gm corvette chief engineer has posted information on the wheel cracking problem on corvette forum and only way to not have wheel cracking problem on replacement wheels would be to not drive on roads with bumps or pot ho

I've almost been hit twice pulling into traffic on a city street with this car. Shifting when the transmission is cold into 2nd gear from 1st gear is near impossible and appears to be a known problem based on my internet search. Several times I've pulled into traffic and couldn't shift it into 2nd gear. By then the car is slowing down with traffic bearing down on it and you have to slow down even more to go back to 1st gear. The local dealership says this is normal but I disagree because it's a safety issue. I have to rev the engine higher and go directly into third gear to protect my life.

10/27/2015 1,500 mi ODI #10786533.0

8 speed automatic transmission down shifts at a stop with such force it feels as you have been hit from behind by another car while coming to a stop. Transmission also will not always engage properly and will over rev and slam into gear possibly causing an accident. Transmission at times will disengage while going forward then slam into gear with great force. I was told by a gm insider that gm is aware some transmissions are defective and is working on a kit to fix the fluid starvation problem internally but has done nothing to inform owners of the potential dangers of erratic shifting that it's causing while driving. This also causes the transmission to over heat and to illuminate a warning lamp.

A8 transmission shudder. Had fluid change at 10305 miles. At 10881 miles problem is now worse than before. Warranty is now expired . Hopefully gm has a remedy for this problem on 2015 corvette. Have owned five corvette. This may be the last one gm needs to stand behind their product.

I have a 2015 corvette stingray with 35k miles. The vehicle has been to the dealership 2 times already once at 11k miles and second time at 22k miles where the car should shudder while cruising at low speeds. Also in the morning during a cold start when I would shift the car from park into reverse then the car would do a hard shift. Twice the dealership changed the fluid in the transmission and rebuilt the entire transmission since the car was under warranty. But my car's extended warranty expired on 03/01/20, in 06/01/20 the issue came back. Now gm is refusing to take responsibility to fix the vehicle. When refueling, tank filler pipe accepts fuel only very slowly. Several different gas station pumps were tried, all kept clicking off every 3 seconds (as if tank was full). Tank was emp

At any speed the car jerks like one or more spark plug wires are not firing(pulled off) in all modes, it is worse in (e economy mode) push the gas down it gets worse in all modes. I replaced the plugs and wires I still have this problem, I was hoping it was a bad plug or wire, that happens. I took it to the dealer when the check engine light came on I pulled the fuse for the exhaust valves to keep them open they checked then tested the car and told me it was fine no other codes were found. I have 1800 miles on the car now I tried every 93 octane fuel available in this area and other areas, hoping it was just bad fuel that many stations can't have bad fuel for it to be fuel related. *tr

Just as you accelerate, around 1200 to 1500 RPM, with a light touch, you hear want is being described as a "warble" sound. It has a metallic ring and lasts a few seconds. Loading the engine on a hill makes the sound more intense. It is happening to a stock 2015 stingray coupe. Thought this was only happening to me because others do no have this issue but found a group of corvette owners on the corvette forum with the same issue.

Chevy C7 corvettes have an issue with the center screen that project he backup camera. Due to the screen retracts, the cabling wears out and causes the camera to flicker or go blank. It seems the part to repair has been discontinued. This represents a safety hazard for all C7 corvettes since the part is label discontinued and the camera is much needed to back to car up safely without causing injury or property damage.

I ran out of gas on the interstate during rush with a tractor trailer behind me? How I got to the shoulder was a miracle!! Then I noticed the engine warning light came on, the gas gauge stopped working? The road warrior came and gave me some gas. I took it my dealer right away. They gave me a loaner. After a few days I called for an update? The service deptartment told me it was the fuel sender unit that went bad. And that part is on national back order?? I don't know what that meant? So I call gm's customer relations and speak to a gloria. She informs me the part is unavailable. And she does not have an eta on it?? I told her I thought that car companies are suppose to keep parts for new model car for at least through the warranty period? She agreed!! Imagine? So I ask then why is my pa
