The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that the oem keys were not connecting electronically to start the vehicle. The failure occurred for over five years. The dealer (crystal Chevrolet, 1035 S suncoast blvd, homosassa, fl 34448, (352) 436-4371) was notified several times that the fault not detected warning message was flashing. The dealer reprogrammed the oem master key. Afterwards, the horn failed to operate, various electronic functions failed, and the trunk failed to lock and unlock. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000. Consumer stated random incidents caused by electrical system due to defective jobs.

Two months ago, the car would crank, but not start. After several tries, and waiting overnight to continue trying, I had the car taken to the dealer. Tow driver drops car off flatbed, service writer gets in to cycle through to get mileage, etc, and the car starts. No error codes. They keep it for a few days, but no further problem. Ten days ago, same problem. Tow driver tries to start the car to drive off flatbed, without success. Dealer observes the problem, but, again, car starts for the service writer, and no codes. Leave it for several days, but no repeat of the prob. A few days ago, same problem, except now the car is 'on the verge' of starting, not just cranking, and I can smell fuel (this was not the case previously). The car was low on fuel when I left, and the low fuel warning had come on a few miles before I stopped. So, I get some gas in the car, eventually 1/2 a tank, and now the car is just cranking, not 'on the verge', and aaa is called to tow it. At this point, the attempts are taking their toll on the battery, but I continue trying, and, while the tow truck is en route, it starts just like always (push button, engine starts, no lag or hesitation). Dealer thinks it's fuel related, but doesn't know what the problem is, so has no idea what to do. Online forums suggest that it's an overheated fuel pump relay, or connectors thereto, resulting ultimately in a complete fuse box replacement.

Many strange things started happening -- some intermittently. The options button sometimes shows "unavailable"; at other times, it works! the passenger window suddenly stopped rolling up completely when the door is shut, and must now be closed manually. The "heads up" speed projection stopped working, but then started working again with a different configuration than we had set before. The entire left bank of buttons stopped working completely. During an oil change, the doors locked and would not open with the key fob appropriately inside of the vehicle; the dealership had to send a driver to our home to pick up the other key fob in order to make the locks open -- they said there was no other way to get into the vehicle. A local dealership/service center is currently working on the vehicle, and we hope to know more about these problems/issues within the next couple of days.
