2010 Chevrolet Corvette

WHILE DRIVING AT VARYING SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL FLASH ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. THIS INDICATES A FAULT WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, AND AS A RESULT THE AIRBAGS ARE DEACTIVATED AND WILL NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION TO OCCUPANTS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, UPON WHICH THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE PROBLEM THEN RETURNED SEVERAL DAYS LATER. IT WOULD APPEAR BASED ON OTHERS' EXPERIENCES WITH THIS ISSUE THAT IT IS RELATED TO A WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR THAT IS SECURED TO THE SEAT FRAME. *TR

WHEN I ACCELERATE HARD FROM A STOP AND GET TO A HIGH SPEED ( OVER 80 MPH ) THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON ALL AIRBAGS ARE DISABLED. THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THE LIGHT BACK OF IS TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT. IT WILL BE FINE UNTIL I ACCELERATE QUICKLY TO A HIGH SPEED. THIS CAR WAS MADE TO DRIVE FAST AND THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIX IT. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE CORVETTE AS I HAVE TALK WITH OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL FUMES EMITTED IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL PUMP, SENSOR KIT, AND FUEL PIPE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 87,911. UPDATED 02/11/2014 *BF UPDATED 3/14/2014*JS

IN DAMP WEATHER, THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT FOGGED OVER FROM CONDENSATION INSIDE LENS AND THE DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WAS OBSERVED TO BE NOT WORKING. PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT HAD NO CONDENSATION AND WORKING LOW BEAM. *TR BOTH HIGH BEAMS WERE THEN TURNED ON AND OBSERVED TO BE WORKING. CONDITIONS DRIED LATER IN THE DAY AND HEADLIGHTS WERE OBSERVED TO BE WORKING. DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP CONDENSATION DRIED IN 24 HOURS. OVER THE PRIOR SIX MONTHS, CONDENSATION HAS BEEN OCCASIONALLY OBSERVED INSIDE THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP BUT THE LOW BEAM HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY FAILED TO LIGHT. CHEVROLET DEALER ( ROBERT'S CHEVROLET IN HICKSVILLE NY ) SAID THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT THE CAR FOR SERVICE UNLESS THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WAS PRESENT AT CHECK-IN EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING 65 MPH AND ABOVE DOWNHILL, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED TO FUNCTION IN THAT MANNER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS NOT ABOUT A COMPONENT FAILURE, BUT RATHER AN INADEQUATE COMPONENT, SPECIFICALLY THE GOODYEAR F1 SUPERCAR TIRES THAT CAME AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON MY 2010 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT COUPE. THESE TIRES ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST TO HYDROPLANE OF ANY TIRES ON ANY VEHICLE I HAVE DRIVEN IN MY 45+ YEARS OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED WHEN THERE IS WATER ON THE ROAD. I HAVE APPROACHED THE DEALER AND CHEVROLET ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AS TO WHAT I CAN DO TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION AND HAVE BEEN STONEWALLED AT EVERY STEP. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS AND MANY OF THEM HAVE SWAPPED OUT THE STANDARD ISSUE GOODYEARS FOR MICHELINS AT A COST OF AROUND $2000 AND THAT SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET MY DEALER OR CHEVROLET TO CONFIRM THIS. THEIR ANSWER IS TO REPLACE THEM WITH THE SAME TIRE THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE. MY CAR IS NEARLY TWO YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT, SO TIRE WEAR IS NOT THE ISSUE. THE Z06 AND ZR1 MODELS COME STANDARD WITH MICHELINS AND I THINK THE GRAND SPORT SHOULD AS WELL. I KNOW IT IS TOO LATE FOR ME, BUT NEW OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE NEW TIRES WITH VERY EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENTS IN ORDER TO BE SAFE WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN. *TR
