2013 Chevrolet Corvette

I BOUGHT THIS USED CORVETTE BACK IN THE SUMMER OF 2015. AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR I NOTICED VIBRATION PROBLEM AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MILES PER HOUR. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT ONLY SHAKING ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE CAR WAS PHYSICALLY VIBRATING AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT BECAUSE IT ONLY HAD 1289 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A VIBRATION PROBLEM EARLY ON AND WAS CHECKED AT 570 MILES AT STEVE SCHMITT CHEVY BUT NEVER SAW IT AGAIN. THOUGHT ISSUE WAS FIXED. I BROUGHT CAR BACK TO BILL STASEK CHEVY WHERE I PURCHASED CAR WITH FULL WARRANTY AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE VIBRATION PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT BY REPLACING 2 FRONT TIRES AND REBALANCING THE REAR TIRES.THEY DROVE IT AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. DROVE IT HOME AND IT WAS MUCH BETTER THAN BEFORE. SEVERAL WEEKS WENT BY AND ONCE AGAIN THE VIBRATION AND STEERING ISSUE RETURNED. SO I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND EXPLAINED THAT THE SAME VIBRATION PROBLEM HAD ONCE AGAIN RETURNED.THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID THE REPAIR VIA THE SERVICE BULLETIN THAT CAME OUT ON THAT VIBRATION ISSUE FROM GM.EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THAT WAS ALL THEY COULD DO AND THEY KNEW THERE IS A DEFECT IN THAT YEAR CAR BUT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. SO HERE I SIT WITH A 76,000 DOLLAR CORVETTE WITH 5000 MILES ON IT AND A VIBRATION THAT KNOW ONE CAN OR WILL FIX.I CAN'T FIND THE SERVICE BULLETIN BUT THE MECHANIC WHO DID THE WORK ON MY CAR DID SHOW IT TO ME AT THE DEALERSHIP. I THINK SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS.I FEEL IT'S UNSAFE AND IF THE CAR IS BUILT WITH THIS KNOWN DEFECT IT SHOULD BE FINED OR AT LEAST RECALL ALL C-6 CORVETTES WITH THIS ISSUE. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE BECAUSE I GET I CORVETTE FORUM AND HEARD OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AS WELL.

MY CAR WAS SEEN BY THE DEALER THREE YEARS AGO FOR THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT CONSISTENTLY STAYING ON. NOW MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING ALL THE TIME. I SURVIVED TWO WARS WHILE SERVING IN THE ARMY AND NOW MY LIFE IS IN DANGER BECAUSE OF AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHER CAR OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT.

ABS LIGHT STAYS ON. HISTORY: ON 11/17/18 BEFORE DRIVING MY VEHICLE I HAD TO ADJUST MY DRIVER'S SEAT ALL THE WAY BACK TO ACCOMMODATE MY LONG LEGS AFTER ANOTHER PERSON HAD PREVIOUSLY MOVED THE SEAT FORWARD WHEN THEY WERE SITTING IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE THE ABS LIGHT BRIEFLY FLASHED, THEN CAME ON STEADY, THEN IT AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES THE LIGHT EVENTUALLY WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE NEXT TIME I STARTED THE CAR THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, FLASHED BRIEFLY, THEN REMAINED ON STEADY. NOW, EACH TIME THE CAR IS STARTED/DRIVEN, THE ABS LIGHT BRIEFLY FLASHES DURING START UP AND THEN ALWAYS REMAINS CONSTANTLY ON AFTER THAT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 19,000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHEN THE CONTACT ARRIVED AT DISCOUNT TIRE TO HAVE THE TIRES REPLACED, THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TWO REAR OEM WHEELS HAD HAIRLINE FRACTURES ON THE INSIDE BARRELS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE. THREE YEARS LATER, THE TIRES BEGAN TO LOSE 3-5 POUNDS OF PRESSURE PER WEEK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO DISCOUNT TIRE WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE WHEEL FRACTURES HAD EXPANDED, WHICH CAUSED THE FAILURE IN THE WHEELS. BILL FOX CHEVROLET (725 S ROCHESTER RD, ROCHESTER HILLS, MI 48307, (248) 266-0563) WAS CONTACTED AND THE WHEELS WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000. *TT*JB

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.
