I OWN A 2006 CORVETTE Z06 AND THERE HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN A RECALL ON THE ROOF PANEL. THE ROOF PANEL HAS BEEN MAKING NOISES WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND TURNS, SO I TOOK IT IN TO RELIABLE CHEVROLET IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED ONE OF THE BOLTS THAT HOLDS THE ROOF IN PLACE WAS SEIZED UP AND THE HARDWARE USED TO PERFORM THE ROOF RECALL WAS NOT THE CORRECT HARDWARE FOR THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE WRITER STATED THAT THE ROOF WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED, AS WELL AS ALL HARDWARE AND POSSIBLY THE HEADLINER, BUT THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT SINCE THE RECALL WAS ALREADY COMPLETED. WHEN I CONTACTED GM, THEY STATED THAT SINCE THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED, I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX IT. I CONTACTED COURTESY CHEVROLET IN SAN DIEGO, THE DEALERSHIP THAT PERFORMED THE ORIGINAL RECALL WORK, AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES OF THE SEIZED BOLT AND INCORRECT HARDWARE. CURRENTLY, THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR SINCE THEY ARE NOT ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY, YET THEY SAY MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS THE ROOF MAY FLY OFF. I AWAIT YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE AS I WOULD LIKE THIS RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 22000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1YY26E065.

CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 Electronic Stability Control

CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 2006 Safety Review #10464031

CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 2006 car safety problem was reported on Jan 12, 2009.CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL . I HAVE A 2006 CORVETTE Z06 WITH 10,000 MILES AND HAVE EXPERIENCED A NUMBER OF STABILITY CONTROL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. IN 2009 I PICKED UP THE CAR FROM MY LOCAL DEALER WITH ONLY 6,000 MILES AFTER COMPLETING THE LAST SERVICE UNDER WARRANTY. I ENTERED A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND PROCEEDED INTO THE LEFT LANE. I ACCELERATED TO PASS A LARGE TRUCK AND THE CAR BEGAN TO THRASH BACK AND FORTH OUT OF CONTROL LIKE I WAS ON ICE. I LIFTED IMMEDIATELY AND ATTEMPTED TO REGAIN CONTROL BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND AND SENT THE FRONT END OF THE CAR CRASHING INTO THE CONCRETE MEDIAN. NO ONE WAS HURT BUT THE DAMAGE WAS EXTENSIVE. I WAS CONVINCED IT WAS THE RUN FLAT TIRES SO I HAD ALL FOUR REPLACED WITH NITTO HIGH PERFORMANCE RADIALS. THE STICKIER COMPOUND MADE A DIFFERENCE IN TRACTION HOWEVER I QUICKLY REALIZED THAT THE TIRES WERE NOT THE PROBLEM. MY SON AND I WERE CRUISING AROUND TOWN AND I PULLED OVER TO SWITCH DRIVERS. MY SON EXITED THE PARKING LOT AND HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR BEGAN TO THRASH BACK AND FORTH OUT OF CONTROL. HE TOO WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR WITH CORRECTIVE STEERING AND BRAKING. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND OR A CONCRETE MEDIAN TO SMASH INTO. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS HURT. WE NOW DRIVE WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM OFF AS WE ARE CONVINCED THAT THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM IS SEVERELY FLAWED AND THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS AT ANY SPEED. NOW THE DISPLAY FLASHES AN ALERT THAT THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM NEEDS SERVICING. I HAVE READ A NUMBER OF SIMILAR CASES WHERE THE DRIVER HAS LOST CONTROL OF THEIR CAR AND SUSTAINED CONSIDERABLE PERSONAL INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THEIR CAR. GM DENIES RESPONSIBILITY AND HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL. THIS CAR IS SIMPLY UNSAFE EVEN FOR THE PROFESSIONAL DRIVER. THE NHTSA SHOULD DEMAND THAT GM RECALL THIS CAR IMMEDIATELY AND TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION BEFORE OTHERS ARE INJURED, MAIMED OR KILLED. *JS.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 6000 miles. Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2006 problem was reported in MARLTON, NJ. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 45 mph.

CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 2006 car safety problem was reported on May 19, 2012.CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 2006, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with ENGINE . MASSIVE ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO A FAILED EXHAUST VALVE AFTER INSPECTION, CAR LOST ALL POWER AND WAS IMMOBILE AFTER ROLLING TO A STOP. THE 7 AND 8 CYLINDER ON THE BLOCK WERE COMPLETELY VENTILATED. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2006-2011 CORVETTES AND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.WHAT HAPPENS IS THE HEAD OF THE EXHAUST VALVE FALLS OFF AND THEN IT MAKES CONTACT WITH THE PISTON AND TAKES OUT THE BLOCK AND PISTON AND RODS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AS THERE IS SEVERAL HUNDRED OR MORE Z06 EQUIPPED WITH THE LS7 MOTOR THAT HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND IMHO THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF RECALL ON THESE MOTORS. *TR.Vehicle was on fire. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 39340 miles.

CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 2006 car safety problem was reported on May 16, 2012.CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 2006, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with POWER TRAIN . THE LURCH DROPS TO THE FLOOR UNDER ACCELERATION, HAPPENS FROM A STOP AND UNDER MOST ANY SPEED. THIS CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE CLUTCH CAUSING A STRONG SMELL OF BURNT CLUTCH. DEALERS SAY I AM ABUSING THE CAR EVEN THOUGH THIS HAPPENS SOMETIMES UNDER NORMAL DRIVING. WHEN THE CLUTCH DROPS TO THE FLOOR YOU CAN NOT SHIFT, ACCURATE, OF DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH TO PREVENT DAMAGE. ( DAMAGED CLUTCH CAUSES CHATTER AND SLIPPAGE RESULTING IN THE DEALER SAYING THE CLUTCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED) AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND MANY PEOPLE WERE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER IT IS CAUSE BY A DESIGN FLAW THAT LETS THE CLUTCH FLUID DIRTY OVER TIME. IN THE MANUAL, IT STATS THAT THE CLUTCH GUILD DOES NOT NEED TO BE CHECK REGULARLY. I HAVE READ THAT THIS ISSUE AFFECT NEWER CORVETTES AS WELL. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 22000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1YY26E965.
