The Infotainment System (Radio) on my 2017 Chevrolet Grand Sport Corvette suddenly and without warning malfunctioned/failed on or around in 2023, whereby the eight inch screen on the Infotainment System went completely black/blank, whereby my radio produced no audio sound nor allowed me the ability to view the screen (on the Infotainment System) while placing my vehicle in reverse-which is very useful when having to place the vehicle in reverse. I personally believe that during the period (2023 thru most of 2024) in which my Infotainment System was not working properly, that my safety and/or the safety of others was placed at risk due to being unable to use/view the rearview camera while placing my car in reverse. In August of 2024, I reached out to Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center (by writing a letter) re: this matter and requesting financial assistance to repair my Infotainment System. I submitted verification with my letter, that the matter I was writing about was "a well known issue/problem" as reported by Corvette Magazine (which I subscribe to) and with computer prints/verification(s) of discussions in Corvette Enthusiasts internet chat rooms, whereby several Corvette owners also reported having issues/problems with their Infotainment System malfunctioning. Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center replied to my letter and agreed to reimburse me for half of the $1700 required to repair the radio/Infotainment System. . Genesis Chevrolet in Eastpointe, MI. completed the repair of my Infotainment System.

The left rear wheel of this vehicle has two major cracks in it. The tire has had a slow leak for the past couple of months as indicated by the low-tire warning light on the dashboard. I took it to a Discount Tire Outlet in an effort to find and repair the leak, and upon inspection the technician found the two cracks and pointed them out to me. Obviously, if the tire were to blow out at any speed it would endanger the lives of me and any of my passengers, as well as the people in other vehicles around me. The vehicle manufacturer, General Motors, is very well aware of this problem as it has received a number of lawsuits over this specific issue. To date, General Motors has refused to replace these defective wheels, or to provide any other type of relief to Corvette owners.
