2014 Chevrolet Corvette problems

“I recently refueled my 2014 Corvette and when I put the car in the garage it was leaking fuel causing a concentrated fuel vapor. I have since found that the fuel filler hose connector to the drivers tank had a crack in it. Obviously this is not a safe situation. In determining the situation I found that GM had a replacement program if this problem presents itself within 10 years or 120,000 miles. In my case it did not. Early customers that had this issue and before GM created the repair adjustment the dealers where charging $2000.00 with the fuel tank costs. Since then they have decided to Capitalize on this safety hazard by increasing the price of the tanks upwards of $2K and up to $6K for the replacement job. Additionally anyone else you might go to are telling customers they have to find a replacement tank because they cant. One more caveat of this situation is that many of these cars cannot be put outside until a new fuel tank is leveraged. Capitalizing on a safety issue unrcontionable. I went to GM's customer service center and they refused to help. So here I am, [XXX] 6 weeks into a leaking Saddle tank and the only help i'm getting is a hyped up service…”

“ENGINE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT ALL RPM RANGES,VIBRATES WHOLE CAR ENGINE MOUNTS ARE FINE DRIVELINE DEFECTIVE CAR WAS INPSPECTED BY DEALER SAYS $6,000 TO $8,000 TO REPAIR.”

“The vehicle fails to keep the engine cool when idling or traveling at low speeds and in low gears. When at a stop light, the engine temperature quickly increases to unsafe temperatures, and has even had to be shut off and went up in steam from the engine. Coolant level was and is still full. I believe the cooling fans fail to stay on, maybe due to being turned off on the highways, and therefore fail to turn back on after exiting the highway.”

“The electric power-steering assist is failing while my vehicle is in motion. I lose power steering and have to use significantly more effort and may lead to a crash, at any speeds. I was driving on the highway when this happened, although it has happened at slower, neighborhood speeds. When this happens, I see a warning message on the dashboard stating the power-steering assist failed and service power steering, drive with caution and the steering is all non-power steering. At times, when I stop the car, and turn the power off, and re-start the car, the power steering works again for a short period of time, and then fails again. This is extremely dangerous. I cannot find any recalls on my car VIN # for this issue for the 2014 Corvette, but see the exact symptoms for the 2017 Corvette (GM' number for this recall is N182182760). Help....please!”

“The contact owned a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while trying to get out of parallel parking, the accelerator was depressed, and the vehicle jumped. There were no warning lights illuminated. As a result, the vehicle crashed into the vehicle that was in front. The contact snapped her neck. No medical assistance was needed. No police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be repaired however the failure persisted four more times. On a separate occasion, the vehicle would accelerate on its own without any reason, the contact would turn the vehicle off and back on, to drive the vehicle back to normal conditions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where unknown repairs were completed. The dealer informed the contact that the gas pedal had glue on it. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 4,400.”

“THE VEHICLE DIC DISPLAY GOES BLANK PERIODICALLY. THE ANALOG GAUGES WORK AT ALL TIMES. WHEN THE DISPLAY IS BLANK, AND WHILE DRIVING, THE ANALOGS WILL GO FULL SCALE AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE FOR A FEW SECONDS. THEN THE ANALOG GAUGES RETURN TO NORMAL OPERATION. WHILE DRIVING FOR A PERIOD OF ABOUT 30 MINUTES OR MORE, THE DISPLAY BECOMES OPERATIVE, AND ALL STEERING WHEEL COMMANDS FUNCTION. THE DISPLAY AND GAUGES OPERATE NORMALLY FOR DAYS. THEN AFTER SITTING IN THE GARAGE WHEN I OPEN THE LEFT DOOR, DAYS LATER, THE DISPLAY DOES NOT COME ON. AND REPEATS THE CYCLE. I HAVE INFORMED GM AND HAVE AN OPEN CASE. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NO IMMEDIATE SOLUTION AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OWNERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR DIC'S. A GM REP AT THE ACTION CENTER STATED THAT ALL OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM ARE WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS. THEY COULD GIVE NO EXPECTATION AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2014 CORVETTE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS.. I AM NOW ON A LIST OF OWNERS WAITING FOR THE WORD ON WHEN…”
