2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE — Complaint #1775821
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION filed October 28, 2021
NHTSA complaint #1775821 (ODI reference 11438483) concerns a 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE and was filed on October 28, 2021. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 2, 2021. The vehicle had 7,800 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Kansas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as power train:manual transmission, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: yes, fire: no, injuries: 1, fatalities: 0. A complaint that flags a crash, fire, or fatality is escalated on NHTSA's internal review queue and factors more heavily into any Preliminary Evaluation decision on this make and model. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET CORVETTE cohort independently describe similar power train:manual transmission failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
