Low sp crsh car shattered and fell apart at all weld points in the frame. Occupants wore seat belts. I was found in the road, my passenger died. The front of car broke off and back broke off all at the welded connections leaving the occupants exposed. Cast aluminum sections of the frame is where all the welds failed. Cast aluminum cannot be welded, unknown when I purchased car. Was not in manual or specs, or I would not have bought this piece of trash. Crash at speed of 40-50, country road on slight curve.
Rear differential assembly per gm's service bulletin no: 13384 "summary: the rear differential assembly in certain 2014 chevrolet corvettes were shipped with improper fluid levels. Operating the vehicle without sufficient fluid in the rear differential assembly could produce a loud whine and/or gear or bearing noise." these vehicles were then topped off with fluid and some still had noises present requiring differential assemblies to be replaced however the issue persists.
2014 chevrolet corvette. Consumer writes in regards to faullty valve spring which resulted in an explosion. The consumer stated the manufacturer was notified of the engine failure prior to the explosion. The manufacturer did not offer any assistance.
Extremely strong fuel odors that fill my garage and seep into my house. Im standing in the kitchen now next to the garage and can barely finish typing this before having to move to the living room I have taken the vehice to the chevy service department numerous times and they say they can't smell or find anything, so its obvious the problem is intermittent.
The lcd that shows the rear view camera started flickering and now is completely black. After researching the internet, I conclude that it is a chronic problem with this year of corvette.
