This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
This vehicle has a strong odor of gasoline from the rear of the vehicle. There are no signs of fuel on the ground where the vehicle is parked. I understand that this was the subject of another GM special coverage adjustment 15682. I am concerned that the vehicle may catch fire and cause damage to person and property.
On this car there is no way to manually open the convertible top in the down position. The spot where there is a hole depicted in the car manual where a button to push to manually open the top is missing. I view this as a safety problem.
Without the ability to search a database for tsb implementation, I have no way to determine if my used car purchase has been fixed per the manufacturer recommendation outlined in the tsb. On my particular vehicle, I am not able to ascertain if the fuel leak issue was repaired!! tsb implementation needs to be handled similar to safety recalls to prevent serious problems for unsuspecting used car buyers.
The subframe radiator core support broke. In order to complete the repair the battery was disconnected. After the repair was complete the battery was reconnected. Now the radio doesn't display the gps clock. Clock doesn't work it will not let you set the clock display. I read online that the satellite codes were reset for vehicles years 2005-2011. So when the batter is disconnected the radio software goes haywire when this problem is brought to Chevrolet attention the garage said that reprograming the radio could fix the problem cost $160 this should be recalled and fixed at Chevrolet garage on their dime they caused the problem they should provide the fix cost free several forums in the Corvette community are available online no one has a fix listed for this problem happened while stationary problem is constant disconnect battery then reconnect battery regardless if your doing a repair or replacing the battery the radio software goes haywire and the clock doesn't display and won't let you set it it won't enter into any set mode
Car gets stuck in gear, cannot shift into reverse, drive etc. Control part#25913058 (GM) very dangerous if in traffic and put car I neutral and can't get it out of gear with cars speeding by. Chevrolet refuses to reimburse for parts and labor. Mileage-29,994.
I have a 2007 Corvette, I was at a railroad crossing waiting for the train to pass so I put my shifter into park. When the train passed I tried to take the shifter out of park and it would not move (it was stuck in park. Upon woring with it several minutes I did get it to move. This has happened several times since, so I called my GM garage and told me it is a common problem with 2005 - 2007 Corvettes. Luckly I only encountered a little embarrasment, one one got hurd (thank god). It has happened at my home, stores, to my wife and anytime. I am able to turn on my acc then shift to nutral and start the vet then shift into gear. I am taing to be repaired and been told by GM garage the entire shifter has to be replaced. Not cool on a car with less than 29,000 miles and never abused.
Transmission shifter at times is stuck in park. Have to restart engine and press down on brakes several times to get it out of park. You can hear when the solenoid energizes and finally unlocks the shifter. Just started this year after 51,000 miles on car. Request research help
The shift interlock fails has fail 3 times since I owned the car. The selonoide that tells the shifter that the brake is pressed locks up. (cant shift out of park) the driver cant put the car in any gear. GM fixed it by replacing the whole shifter and not upgrading the failed part. They just put another bad shifter in its place. I had one time where I could not put the car in park, this the engine would not shut off. I had to force the shifter forward almost to breaking point to shut the engine.
The shift button will not depress and will not shift out of park. Intermitten issue. It can take upto 50 attempts before it will work. Dealer claims it isnt and issue if they cannot repeat the problem.
