2020 Chevrolet Corvette owner complaints

Front hood/trump flew open @ 20 MPH when driving through neighborhood. Bent the latches, damaged the hood and quarter panel. Latch is flimsy and lacks better locking mechanism to protect it from opening.

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.

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.

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

Hood on vehicle could come unlatched since there is only one latch point, no safety latch. The hood releases twice and could spring open, causing impaired vision to the driver, and flying objects to vehicle in the rear,.in addition to causing extensive vehicle damage..there have been at least 7 reported on the corvette forum. The forum represents only a small sample of the approx. 7000 vehicles produced to date. I have secured mine using hi tensile cord., awaiting a fix from gm.

The front trunk of the vehicle flew open while driving causing blocked visibility and created bent hinges for the lid. This happened on a city street and did not take it on the highway afterwards for safety reasons

I was pulling out of the driveway and onto the city road driving about 30-40 MPH and my front trunk opened on it's own. I had no warning signs or got no audible alerts when my front trunk opened on its own. I've been in contact with my dealership and they said gm warranty will not cover the problem or fix my damages, that my insurance needs to cover that.

While driving at a prudent speed the hood of my vehicle opened with some damage to the hood(sprung hinges) and body damage. I got a signal that the hood was open and then the hood sprung open. I was driving at 35-40 MPH at the time and came to a stop in a prudent manner.(no visibility)

There is a strong smell of gasoline in the trunk. The smell is stronger when the gas tank is recently filled or full.

Received 2020 corvette on 9/15/20, on 9/24/20 went to use the car to do to doctor. The car started and then would not run. Had all kind of message; service engine, no oil pressure; traction control, had bad smell. Had to have flatbed tow truck get the car and take it to a Chevrolet dealer. Car has broken valve springs. Car has been gone 10 days so far and do not have all of the valve springs to repair car. Car only has 115 miles on it. Luckily the car was in the garage when this happened.

I tried to register the vehicle and cannot register the car. It fails smog. 02 sensor not ready. The battery has not been disconnected since it's first mile driven.

At the time of incident the vehicle had 660 miles. Most of the accumulated miles are: 60% street and 40% hiway. I was inspecting the wheels and tire when I spotted a significant amount of grey/black colored grease randomly covering the inner wheel. Upon further inspection I noticed that the grease was splattered on the emergency brake unit, sensors and wiring harness. The grease was isolated to the rear passanger axle. I suspect that the grease came from a defective cv boot. Took vehicle in to checkout the problem and they determined the grease was from a defective cv boot. New axle was ordered.

The contact owned a 2020 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact came to a complete stop at a stop sign. The contact stated that the light turned green, the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle started jerking with a rumbling sound coming from the engine compartment. In addition, the engine independently shut off, however the transmission failed to properly shift, pressure level at zero, check engine light, idle creeping disabled, and service transmission warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that he restated the vehicle and the failure reoccurred, and the contact turned the vehicle off. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle eleven times however, the failure persisted. The contact was able to restart th

I had a complete transmission failure while on a road trip over July 4th. I just read that GM was doing a recall on the Transmission Control Module but it does not include my car, which is what failed on my car at 19,000 miles. My trip was interrupted, we spent two days paying for hotel & rental car in Springfield, MO and now my car is fixed with new TCU in Springfield, but I live in DFW area. If my car had a recall I would have had it fixed before our trip and this all could have been avoided. Now I have to figure out how to get my car back home.

On september 24, 2020, Chevrolet issued a recall for a possible contaminated brake booster module on numerous 2020 vehicles. This to me is a serious matter when it deals with the vehicles braking system. There have been customers online who have talked about this issue, with one customer stated that his brakes did fail and it was difficult for him to stop. I have made numerous calls to gm and no one could give me any accurate information. I have not been driving my new 2020 corvette very often because of fear of brake failure. I was told by a gm rep that if module did go out that your brakes would still work. He stated that you would just have to use more foot pressure on brakes. It has now been over 90 days and I am requesting that this issue get resolved for all new car owners who have t

This complaint is a result of gm non action to their recall a202307260. It has been 2 months since the recall has been announced and parts or not available. Loss the the affected item (brake booster) severely impacts safety that could cause an accident resulting in severe injuries or death. Gm has parts -- they are building 180 units per day. There are under 700 - 2020 corvette cars affected by this recall. Gm is putting profit and sales ahead of safety. NHTSA should require gm to immediately use production parts to remedy this issue and close this recall considering it is safety related.

The 2020 Chevrolet corvette coupe with the 1lt trim package does not comply with the 20 degree minimum horizontal field of view requirement as outlined in us DOT tp-111v-01. The interior rear view mirror is essentially useless given the small size of the rear hatch glass. Please note that the 1lt trim package does not include the camera augmented rear view mirror found in the 2lt and 3lt trim packages.

The front driver side daytime driving light which is also the turn signal does not work. It hasn't worked for almost 3 months and Chevy does not stock any headlights for this car. This has been going on for way too long and I don't think that their statement seems accurate about driving without the light/turn signal. Even though gm states it ok to drive I feel it's not that safe and have not driven it much these past 3 months. This is a new model and I know it's difficult to have all parts available for a new car but a headlight should be something that is in stock in their warehouse prior to shipping these cars to the public.

The contact's son owns a 2020 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while her son was driving 65 MPH, the oil temperature and check engine warning lights illuminated; however, the driver was able to safely drive to the destination. Upon leaving and attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the main wiring harness. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that the replacement part was on a national backorder. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 40,000.

The front trunk lid (the lid) opened at a speed of about 40mph on a city street. The warning light was not lite prior to this incident and nothing activated the lid door switch. This incident bent the lid hinges and dis-aligned the lid resulting in the damaging of the corners of the quarter panels. I have now taped down the lid in front to prevent this occurring again. I have notified my Chevy dealer of this incident and will be replacing the hinges and repair the quarter panels.
