Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Fuel/propulsion system

6 reports1 fire
“I live in Las Vegas, NV where temperatures outdoors frequently exceed 100 degrees F in the summer, and in properly permitted garages without air conditioning, it gets very hot. I own a 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. When it is hot out and the vehicle's tank is properly filled before parking in a properly permitted garage that meets building code, the car is unable to vent heat from the engine, which causes thermal expansion in the fuel tank and the car to vent an excessive amount of fuel vapor into the space. My vehicle has vented enough fuel vapor to cause health and fire hazards and trigger alerts of fuel vapor being over 5,000 ppm in the air in my garage. GM claims this is 'normal operation' designed to ensure the evap system can vent fuel before it causes vapor lock or a warped fuel tank. The level of fuel being vented poses a hazard to health and safety of people and a fire risk when parked indoors. A reasonable consumer should be able to park a properly filled vehicle in a legal garage in all areas of the US without fearing fuel vapor causing a fire within their home. I believe they did not adequately engineer these vehicles to prevent heat from the engine…”

Electrical system

5 reports
“On XXX, at approximately 2:30 PM in [XXX], I was a passenger in a Tesla Robotaxi traveling from [XXX] to Circuit of the Americas. The vehicle failed to stop at the requested destination. After I requested “Pull Over,” the vehicle continued driving past the requested location. Tesla Support acknowledged the pull-over request. After Support instructed us to resume the ride, the vehicle entered a private property without authorization. It then entered a second private property clearly marked with “NO TRESPASSING” signs and became stuck, unable to continue. We were stranded inside the private property for approximately 30 minutes. Individuals on the property were consuming alcohol and staring at us in a manner that felt hostile and threatening. We repeatedly informed Tesla Support that we felt really unsafe and were scared for our lives. Support apologized and stated that assistance was being dispatched. However, we were then told that no assistance would be provided and that we needed to exit the vehicle and arrange our own transportation, despite still being inside the private property with these individuals. We ordered a Lyft and waited approximately another 30…”

Wheels

3 reports
“I own a 2024 Chevrolet Corvette with approximately 17,748 miles. The vehicle developed a significant vibration/ride-quality issue and was inspected by an authorized Chevrolet dealer. The dealer determined that all four factory wheels were bent/deformed and recommended replacement of the wheels and tires. The estimated repair cost was approximately $6,251.28. I am not aware of any collision, pothole strike, curb impact, or other event that would explain damage to all four wheels. Photographs of the wheels do not show obvious impact damage. The dealer nevertheless determined that all four wheels were bent. A technician also documented the condition in a video and specifically identified the wheels as bent. I contacted Chevrolet Customer Care and requested warranty assistance under the vehicle's Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty, which remains in effect. Chevrolet declined to cover the replacement. Instead, I was offered the option to purchase replacement wheels, with a 24-month warranty and replacement if a subsequent problem occurs without visible damage. I am submitting this complaint because I am concerned about the durability and structural integrity of the…”
