2017 Chevrolet Corvette Problems

Multiple Wheels (9) have been replaced and multiple tires. Have had to repair each of these wheels upwards of 20+ times and it’s not allowed legally after 3 cracks per wheel. Safety issue as tires would blow out or go flat in short time. Yes, been inspected multiple times by dealers, GM and told not covered under any warranty. One incident, GM agreed to replace the 2 rear wheels at 50% retail!

Cracked (chrome) wheels on 2017 Corvette Grand Sport at 30228 miles. The tire icon appeared on the driver information display. Passenger side rear tire. After inflating the tire I took it to my dealer, Jorns Chevrolet where I purchased it brand new. Jorns is a leading Corvette dealer in Wisconsin. The dealer actually had a set of after market replacement wheels on display in the showroom. The technician removed the wheel and pointed out a large crack causing the slow leak. Not wanting to pay an exorbitant amount for one wheel and gamble on the other three I decided to replace all four with forged aftermarket wheels. Now, the technician discovered a crack in the driver side rear wheel also. Jorns explained that they have replaced wheels, with similar problems, on forty other Corvettes! Appealing to GM was a futile waste of time. GM skillfully crafted a policy to claim any sort of compensation virtually impossible. Initial contact requires the owner to deal with some appointed law firm and comply with their front line screening. IF you succeed with that, mountains of documentation are required. Very disappointing considering, the frequency of failures and owners history with a known problem with a premium brand model.

Driving this vehicle yesterday, the power steering assist failed. Fortunately, I was traveling at a low speed at the time. A message appeared on the dash telling me there was a power steering issue and to drive cautiously. I can make this vehicle available for inspection upon request. I have not yet taken the vehicle to the dealer; nor had it inspected by any other party. The message in the dash did not appear until the component had failed.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the EPS warning light illuminated. The contact pulled over to the side of the roadway, turned off, and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V086000 (STEERING); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 74,000.

I WAS NOTIFIED BY MY ON-STAR THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ON A RECALL, REGARDING THE EPS ELECIRONIC POWER STEERING COULD BE LOSS AND COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

2 OCCURRENCES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WITHOUT NOTICE I LOOSE ALL POWER STEERING FUNCTION, POWER BRAKES FUNCTION AND ALL ABS/TRACTION CONTROL. SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ARE DISPLAYED ON DASHBOARD. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALER FOR REPAIRS. BOTH THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR STREETS, THE FIRST TIME I WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE ON THE STREET APPX 40-45 MPH, LOST ALL FUNCTIONS AND NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

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.

CENTER SCREEN COMPLETELY DEAD. NO AUDIO, VIDEO OR REVERSE VIEW THEREBY CAUSING A SAFETY PROBLEM. THE REVERSE CAMERA DOES NOT COME ON AND THERE IS NO DISPLAY. UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING WHILE REVERSING DUE TO THE WAY THE CAR IS DESIGNED.

2017 Chevrolet Corvette Fuel Leak at the Primary Fuel Pump Module Flange. Problem causes fuel odor and loss of fuel on garage floor. Vehicle was inspected and diagnosed by Chevrolet dealership.

Gas tank / filler neck has a leak within 7000 miles. Leaves garage smelling like fuel. Explosion or fire risk

MY CORVETTE IS A Z06 THAT IS DESIGNED AND BUILT FOR TRACK USE. WHEN I USE IT ON TRACK IT OVERHEATS AND GOES INTO LIMP MODE AFTER ABOUT 15 MINS. SOMETIMES THE POWER STEER FAULTS MAKING IT DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO CONTROL THE CAR. I DO NOT USE IT REGULARLY ON THE STREET.

I HAVE ABOUT 500 MILES ON MY 2017 C7 CORVETTE AND OBVIOUSLY NEVER DROVE IT IN THE WINTER, ALWAYS GARAGED AND JUST TOOK IT OUT A VERY FEW TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 WEEKS DURING NICE WEATHER. I OPENED THE HOOD FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME AND SHOWED A FRIEND OF MINE THE ENGINE, HE WAS A MECHANIC FOR YEARS, AND WE BOTH IMMEDIATELY SEEN THE MANIFOLDS WERE RUSTY. THIS IS HORRIBLE THAT GM WOULD RELEASE A NEARLY $60,000 VEHICLE WITH SUCH A FLAW AND POSSIBLY NEAR FUTURE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF IT!??????? PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTOS AND ADVISE ME IF YOU CAN PLEASE HAVE THESE MANIFOLD HEADERS REPLACED WITH ONES WHICH WON'T RUST HORRIFICALLY SUCH AS STAINLESS STEEL OR SIMILAR? ALL OVER THE INTERNET MANY CORVETTE OWNERS WITH NEW CORVETTES ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME CONCERNS AND ISSUES! PLEASE DO A NATIONWIDE RECALL AND HAVE CHEVROLET REPLACE ALL OF THESE MANIFOLD HEADERS WITH STAINLESS OR OTHER SUITABLE MATERIAL. PLEASE HELP EVERYONE???!!! THANKS!!!

2 OCCURRENCES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WITHOUT NOTICE I LOOSE ALL POWER STEERING FUNCTION, POWER BRAKES FUNCTION AND ALL ABS/TRACTION CONTROL. SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ARE DISPLAYED ON DASHBOARD. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALER FOR REPAIRS.

I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED THAT THE CORVETTE WAS GETTING REALLY HOT, THAN ABOUT 5 MIN LATER ONSTAR REPORTED A ENGINE, TRANS, AND REAR END PROBLEM ALONG WITH A LOUD CLANKING NOISE FROM THE MOTOR. NOW IT ONLY DOES ABOUT 65 THANK IT GOES TO 5K RPMS AND GOES NOWHERE.

Description: On June 23, 2025, I was involved in a traffic collision in Las Vegas, Nevada. According to the police report, another driver failed to yield while exiting a private driveway and struck the front of my vehicle while I was stopped in the center turn lane preparing to turn left. As the vehicle entered my lane, I pressed the horn continuously in an attempt to alert the driver. My right hand was positioned on the horn pad in the center of the steering wheel. At the moment of impact, the driver airbag deployed while my hand remained on the horn pad. I immediately experienced severe pain in my right wrist. Medical evaluation confirmed fractures of the distal radius and ulna requiring surgical fixation with plates and screws. My purpose in submitting this report is to document a potential safety concern involving the interaction between horn activation and airbag deployment. Activating the horn during an imminent collision may be a foreseeable defensive maneuver, which could place the driver’s hand directly over the airbag module at the moment of deployment. I respectfully submit this information for safety review in case similar incidents have been reported.
