I have a 2020 Corvette that was delivered to me in December 2020. In the 2.5 years I've owned the car, the only problem I had was with the rear view mirror/ camera. I started getting a blue screen whenever I used it and had to be replaced. That was it until I heard metallic sounds coming from the rear of the car whenever I upshifted from 3rd to 2nd or 4th to either 3 Rd or 2nd while I was trying to pass someone traffic. And FYI. I never ONCE WOT'd the car in the 2.5 years I owned it!!! Truth! Anyway, Chevy replaced the transmission in July 2023. When the transmission issues started, I only had 4,550 miles on the Odometer!!!

I own a 2021 corvette 2LT and my car is currently at the dealership because of transmission problems. Spoke with the service manager today and he stated that my transmission will need to be replaced! Only have 24K miles on it. First American made car I have owned and I waited 18 months for this piece of crap! I'm going back to Mercedes.

@timheine5816 6 месяцев назад

After 30 years with GM buying five new Camaro Z-28 s and a new C-5, I went to Porsche 21 years ago and have NEVER regretted it. I even had GM buy back a 1995 Z-28 under the lemon law, but I stayed loyal. I grew up in a GM family. GM never backed me up, and as soon as the warranty was up, GM abandoned me even for issues that it was covering under warranty. When I discovered a paint flaw on the hood of my C-5, GM told me to "learn to live with it." As an American kid, the Corvette was my dream but became a nightmare. I feel sorry for all the people posting here because I was one of you and I know how it feels.

@kevinhorner6902 2 месяца назад

My wife had a Mercedes that was having problems with the transmission lurching forward and sometimes rolling back when letting off the brake to start going forwards when on a very small incline. It only had a couple thousand miles on it. It must be a dual clutch problem. Hopefully, our new C8 doesn't start having issues like our Mercedes did.

At 1st, I was really upset that I didn't get a chance to order my 3rd Corvette, because of allocation issues, but in hind sight, I'm so happy to not have made that purchase! I had a grave of a time when I bought my 2013 GS 60th Anniverary Edition. Chevy didn't stand behind the Issues I was having and I tried to do a buyback due to the issues. I ended up Trading for a 2016 Stingray Z51 Magride. Loved that car. It got totaled. Was waiting for the 2022 Model C8, but purchased a BMW instead. LOVE LOVE LOVE my BMW. Never had it on my radar, but once I drove it, I WAS SOLD! I may buy a C8 HTC down the road when the issues are gone and the prices are reduced.

@edwardcsuka6781 Год назад

After 11 months my 2023 3lt convertible z51 arrived last Thursday. I have yet to pick it up because it didn’t pass the pre delivery inspection, In fact the trans valve body already needs to be replaced. I do not think this issue has been fixed and I’m beyond disappointed with the brand. This will be the third corvette I have owned and after waiting 11 months, upgrading to move up on the list, and dealing with what i’m dealing with, i doubt i’ll ever order another one. The c7 i had, never had an issue and the c4 was used but pretty decent. The c8 is a great looking car, but i want to do more than look at it in the garage. This entire process has tainted my view of the brand and it will most likely be the last one I will ever order and the car will probably be gone pretty soon.

@carsinreach5318 Год назад

Thanks for the insight Edward and if you move on from corvettes what are you going to start purchasing next?

@dlj1285 11 месяцев назад

GM unfortunately seems to have a track record of letting problems go on without being truly addressed…As in, not fixing a design flaw if one exists. I was going to purchase one of their Denali trucks but backed out when my research revealed they have had ongoing transmission and driveline issues that have remained unaddressed and acknowledged by GM on an ongoing basis. There is a trend and quite a few videos of owners who sued. Not that I probably could have gotten one anyway due to availability problems, this lead me to ultimately NOT consider a Z06 for a recent sports car purchase. I just can’t deal with a company that operates like this. Why would it be any different with the Corvette? Problems happen, but it’s how problems are dealt with that matter. I also could not accept the likely poor dealership experience I would have. You buy a Porsche you know that a Malibu mechanic is not working on your 200k sports car. There is value in knowing that too.

@Rocky-xx2zg 6 месяцев назад

The lack of a Manual Transmission with the C8 , is just not what a 'sports' car should be. I know about the Automatic being a faster 'shift' than is possible with manual, and it's more efficent. In my Opinion, and my experience , the manual offers the driver a 'feel' of the car that is desireable with a Sports Car. Just my opinion.

I would not put too much worry in buying a C8. I own a 2021 C8 LT1. I bought it brand new for $64,300. Great engine and transmission. No problems. Here in my town of Scottsdale Arizona I have friends who own new Ferrari's, Lamborghinis, McLarens that have many more problems and repair bills then I ever will with the my C8. I am not really a General Motors fan but I thought they did a good job at an unbeatable price point. Hard to believe but C8 is in 4th year of production now. 2020,2021,2022, and now 2023. They are only building 25,000 per year which for Corvette production is not high. I will not buy or consider a new C8 Z06 because my sources tell me no go at sticker price so the markup will be ridiculous. It's still a Corvette and just not worth $150,000 in my opinion. Also a flat plane crank is new territory for General Motors as a company and that would make me nervous !

@richgee8644 11 месяцев назад

I bought my c8 z51 it arrived in March. I noticed transmission issues early. But initially it was the crystal like sand on the rear bumper. First i called the dealer. They knew I had not driven it alot due to travel and illness, told me it was carbon and take a couple long drives. Ok. No change. Then I noticed the leaking. Left cardboard underneath and it appeared to be transmission juice. Brought it in. They took a while to diagnose it was the transmission oil pan gasket. Ok, replaced it. Oddly enough they said come get it, and as soon as I got home I saw more of the same. Then they ordered another pack of gaskets. Tried again, same result. They assured me they drove it and had it up on the hoist. When I got home , same!! Ok 3rd try, new transmission. Result, leak stopped, grainy crap didn't. Now looks like a buy back. Bummer. I'll know after they look again. But I think it's more their curiosity. I doubt I would even want it back at this point. Asking for problems. Crappy experience

@bobolulu7615 Год назад

And how do you think they are going to put a manual transmission in the vehicle? You need a clutch pedal, master cylinder, gear lever and mechanism, shift cables, then there is the matter of getting those cables to the rear. Then having to redesign the transmission to work with manual shifting. Then the big thing, it makes the car slower. How are you going to convince your mates at the pub that your Corvette is a good thing when its actually slower in performance?
