Component: PARKING BRAKE

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured August 20, 2014, to September 4, 2014. In the affected vehicles, only one of the rear parking brake cables may be fully seated and engaged, resulting in the parking brake only operating on one of the rear park brake drums. Without the parking brake working on both rear wheels, the vehicle may roll away if parked on a steep gradient. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."

Consequence: If the parking brake cable isn't fully seated and engaged on both of the rear park brake drums, the vehicle may roll away if parked on a steep gradient, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the park brake cable installation, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on October 31, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14620.

The Toe link may loosen with the vehicle use and eventually separate.

Torque converter shudder and noise (definitely and issue related transmission). Around 1,500 RPM the vehicle starts to experience the shudder, shaking, and noise. Additionally there is a feeling of a surge in power, like if the vehicle shifts to an upper gear un intentionally, the vehicle launches forward occasionally (lurching forward). There is absolutely no issue while the vehicle idles, not at low or high RPM. The issue only occurs while the vehicle is in motion and at around 1,500 RPM. Using a V4 to V8 delete (Range Technology RA003B AFM/DFM Disabler) helps the issue significantly but it's still an issue. If that disabler is removed the issue is extremely pronounced. I purchased this vehicle as a used vehicle. I wouldn't have purchased the vehicle if I had the slightest idea of such a major issue with the vehicle.

The factory supplied OEM GM wheels on this vehicle are cracking in the rims. This is not due to striking any road hazards whatsoever, there is simply a manufacturing defect within the wheel itself. My vehicle is a 2015, but only has 23000 miles on it. My rear left tire developed an air leak which was the initial hint that something was wrong. The crack was confirmed as the cause by my auto shop. I had this repaired via a weld, but the future structural soundness of the wheel is suspect. The shop has repaired many Corvette wheels like mine and most have come back again for the same problem. I had the other wheels inspected and found out the left front wheel is cracked as well. I am replacing the wheels with mono block forged wheels from an aftermarket supplier at my own expense due to having no confidence in the GM wheels. A wheel coming apart at high speed is an obvious safety hazard to myself and others on the road. GM is shirking any responsibility for this manufacturing defect. There are thousands of threads about this issue all over the Corvette forums. It is shameful that a vehicle that costs over six figures should have this issue. I have never had this sort of problem with any other vehicle I have ever owned throughout the decades, not even entry level vehicles. This really should be a safety recall.

I currently have a cracked but now welded rim that is off my 2015 Z06 Corvette. This rim is cracked due to a manufacture defect. This is now a known issue and yet to be resolved but this is definitely a safety issue when driving down the road.

There is a strong gas smell when my vehicle is parked in the home garage. The smell is very strong on the rear tire area on the driver's side of the vehicle. I contacted Gunn Chevrolet and will drop the car off 8 September 2023. There are no warning lights for this issue on the vehicle. There are several bulletins on gas leaks on C7 corvettes. Here is one bulletin: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6

I own a 2015 Corvette Z06 and I had new tires put on last week and the shop found a crack in the rear passenger side wheel. I had to buy a replacement wheel before i could drive it again, since it could have lost air in the tire at any time, which is not safe. This is a common problem with this vechicle.

There has been a lawsuit in reference to the lifters in alot of GM cars. Now my 2015 corvette has the same issue. The bad lifter.

Infotainment screen intermittanly flickers or goes black during the backing of the vehicle. Rear backup camera shows object on screen when in reverse, then flickers or goes black. Cannot see blind spot with rear or side mirrors, such as children on sidewalk directly behind the vehicle where not in view of side mirrors and too low to see in the rear view. Seems to be a KNOWN problem with Chevy Corvette's and the problem with screen flickering or black out.

Driver display not working. (cable issue) Known issue with the c7 corvette. Can't see navigation, radio display, backup camera display and car settings. started out intermittant then permanent.

Chevy C7 corvettes have an issue with the center screen that project he backup camera. Due to the screen retracts, the cabling wears out and causes the camera to flicker or go blank. It seems the part to repair has been discontinued. This represents a safety hazard for all C7 corvettes since the part is label discontinued and the camera is much needed to back to car up safely without causing injury or property damage.
