low spd crsh car shatters chassis frame welds failed
crash at low speed front right wheel hit pipe frame broke apart and scattered into pieces everywhere. We had seatbelts on but I was found in middle of road, passenger died. Nothing remained to protect the occupants. The complete front of 2014 stingray broke off including dash board and fire wall and rear end broke off leaving occupants completely exposed. The frame welds failed at every weld point within the cars' frame. Frame is made of multiple sections welded together and the main connection points are made out of cast aluminum, and all the welds failed at the cast aluminum places. Because you cannot weld cast aluminum. So the car was never tested nor was anyone who bought this car aware of this negligent deficiency. Disgusted with GM. They came to inspect the remains of my car and measured the welds and chassis, what was left. They have never contacted me ever again.
My dream car was always a Corvette. My dream car Stingray 2014 Corvette became my biggest, saddest and most horrifying nightmare of my life.
I would tell anyone that I am able to NEVER buy this GM piece of crap. It was hyped as the new Stingray and everyone lined up, including me. Had I known what I do today, and the death of my son in law who was not protected either, I would TELL EVERYONE TO NEVER BUY THIS CAR NOR ANY OTHER GM PRODUCT EVER! My injuries to my body are forever, my grief for the loss of my son in law will never end. I am disgusted by GM and their failures at every single aspect from false advertising to crappy and deficient work on this product. I will never be the same, nor will my family. As they get richer, I have lost everything. I would hope I could find others who have known of crashes where this car crumbled and shattered so that I am able to file a class action against GM.
