POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles. The rear half-shaft assemblies may be missing one or more ball bearings, which can result in a loss of drive power.

245/35 ZP 19 89Y With only 16,000 miles on this vehicle, the sidewall began to bulge, and then tore, with zero damage to the rim of the wheel, and all air was lost. Luckily it is a run flat tire so it didn't completely deflate, however, I had great concern that with the tear the tire might roll out of the rim on a turn possibly causing an accident or at least a damaged rim. The dealer said they hadn't seen a tear in the sidewall of this tire. A warning light on my dash showed I had lost all air pressure. I have pictures of the tire and the rim showing only damage on the tire.

BCM failure causing the oil pressure to fall to zero and making the car unusable. It also stated the mileage on the odometer does not match the mileage on the BCM.

The retractable headrest on the folding hard top convertible broke so it does not retract appropriately to allow the folding motion to close the roof to occur. It requires sticking your hand inside the roof while trying to close it and pulling it out fast. Internet searches have revealed others had the same issue with a cable breaking. My vehicle has less than 12K miles and top has only been retracted a handful of times.

Experiencing an ongoing problem where the brakes pulsate and vibrate badly, especially after rotors and pads get hot. I am concerned about the safety and possible failure of the brakes if it is not corrected. - The vehicle was purchased as CPO at Antwerpen Chevrolet dealership in Eldersburg, MD with 2155 miles on it. The Carfax noted the front brake rotor(s) were resurfaced. I questioned it and the dealership assured me they would take care of any issue I had with it. - I started experiencing the pulsating at 2550 miles. I went to the dealership and they were very helpful and ended up replacing the front rotors and pads. It appeared to be corrected. - At 3253 miles pulsation started again. Dealer replaced the rear rotors & pads & rechecked front rotors/pads. Ok for a while. - At 3897 miles it started again. Note: each time the dealership was able to duplicate the issue including the Service Mgr and the General Mgr. The front rotors were turned/pads checked. Ok for a while. - At 4037 mi

I ran an update on my c8 corvette, left the car till it was completed. The next day I left with the car and went through the stop sign and through 2 lanes of traffic and almost down a ditch. I live in a country setting. I almost had a very serious accident. I had no brakes. The dash said service brake assist, service ASC and brake failure. Although my car only has 758 miles it has run with no issues since I took delivery of it in September 2021. This happened because of that update. On the Corvette Forum I have 2 documented experiences of 2 other 2022 C8 corvette owners with the exact same issue as me. As of this writing I'm waiting to be towed to Apple Chevrolet in Tinley Park I'll. This is a very serious problem. I will be afraid to drive my car now as I've had a terrible experience. I'm [XXX]. Please feel free to contact me at [XXX] or [XXX] thank you INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I have not experienced a safety incident, but have been warned not to drive the vehicle. The vehicle has 1850 miles. I recently got a message on the Driver Information Display “Rear Axel System Off”. I also receiver an email from OnStar “Engine/ Transmission fault, Seek Service Immediately”. After analysis at the Dealer, they concluded with GM that the transmission needed to be REPLACED. They indicated that it is NOT safe to drive and I should leave it at the Dealer. No other comment as to why. I found that GM reported (September, ‘21) that their transmission supplier had left out two of six bearings in several transmission units…and that they believed that only 19 vehicles were affected. Also commenting that this defect could cause a sudden loss of power resulting in loss of control…however no serious incidents have been reported. My vehicle was assembled in December ‘21… 3 months after GM’s discovery of the issue. I believe that the defective transmissio

Took the car in for inspection after noticing a greasy substance on the bottom panels when changing the oil. I was informed by the dealer that a cracked transmission housing up top was spraying the oil out and it was dripping down, the car is 7 month old and the transmission case cracked because of porous metal castings I was told which is a known issue already by GM.

When headlights are in AUTO mode (i.e. headlights off in sunlight and daytime running lights on, and headlights on in darkness), they will go in and out from on to off doesn't matter weather it is bright sunlight or darkness, and in darkness the headlights will sometimes turn totally off - there is no consistency as to when this happens. This could be a very hazardous condition especially when driving at night and the headlights turn off. I have taken the car to a Chevrolet dealer for repair and a ambient light sensor has been ordered, however there has been no indication as to when this part may be available. The headlights arbitrarily turning off in darkness could be a very hazardous condition. the bad light sensor has been documented by many owners of Corvettes and seems to have impacted autos build at least from about Feb 2022 through May 2022

This 2022 Corvette is dangerous and could kill someone on the highway the Fronk or front storage area opens up the front hood automatically while driving this car. The car can just sit in the garage the fronk storage area opens up automatically by itself. Walk by the car lights start flashing touch the car lights flash etc. It also appears to be an electrical problem with the car. I noticed in 2020 people complained that who owned new Corvettes they were having similar problems with the front hood opening up while driving down the highway. This could cause a disaster on the highway and lives and many lives be lost in a major accident.

On Wednesday March 16, I was driving my 2022 C8 Corvette with only 450 miles on it. I stopped a red light and the car stalled out. I didn't think anything of it and push to start it up again and it started as i continued to drive I approached another red light and as I stopped at it the car shut off and again and wouldn't start back up, as I pushed the start button I smelled smoke and I stop trying to start the car. Oil pressure gauge was reading 0 pressure and flashing red. A notification came across the dash board indicating engine failure and also was notified by my app on my cell phone that the engine failed. Tow truck driver couldn't put the car in neutral due to the vehicle not starting, having to drag onto the flatbed for towing back to dealer
