My fiancé, [XXX] died on [XXX], while driving his 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible . He was passing another car on a straight road ,A witness confirmed he was not speeding excessively. Suddenly, he lost control of the vehicle, crashed, and the car burst into flames. I’ve since learned that GM issued a recall for this model due to fuel spillage and fire risk. Other owners have reported transmission and instrument panel failures.
While operating my 2023 Chevrolet Corvette at approximately 75 mph on [XXX], the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly lost propulsion. Moments later, the vehicle completely shut down. The instrument display went dark and the vehicle's lights went out. This occurred in active highway traffic. I struggled to maintain control of the vehicle while avoiding surrounding vehicles and narrowly avoided a potentially catastrophic collision. I managed to bring the Corvette to rest on the shoulder.
