2014 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Recalls, Complaints & Safety

Known Fuel Tank crack GM Memo "Special Coverage Adjustment 17469 Fuel Leaks at the Primary Fuel Pump Module Flange", whose previous warranty extension has expired and shouldn't be! GM assumes no responsibility for notifying vehicle owners who purchased used vehicles from non-dealers, which is what I did. I never received any notices about this leak from them since 2018, when I bought the vehicle used from a non-GM dealer. I just recently discovered the leak and had it repaired for $ 5,300.00. I had been driving a vehicle that could have exploded for over 7 years and did not know it. There must be others who are still driving these without knowing. Below is my request to GM to reconsider their 'not covered' response to my email. I suggest that a known Special Coverage Adjustment 17469 Fuel Leaks at the Primary Fuel Pump Module Flange of the gas tank is a life-threatening issue and should never expire! Especially, since many of us bought these vehicles used, 2018 in my case, and have NEVER received any notifications from dealers or GM about this issue. How many others are still outstanding and could blow someone up? The pictures below were taken at my Watson Chevrolet dealer in Tucson, AZ this month, which shows that the crack is exactly what was outlined in your publication 17469, that I never received. Total bill was $5,330.89 (copy attached). I am asking GM to reimburse me for this horrible adventure, not to mention the danger that I've been in for these many years. While I should have detected this issue sooner, how was I to know? I finally gave a friend a ride who said she smelled a really bad gas odor, which led me to the dealer! Now, GM says "you're too late" for us to cover our known defect? Again, this is a life-threatening issue, and your warranty should never expire!

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette equipped with Silver's North America NEOMAX coil-overs. The contact stated that while driving through a parking garage at less than 10 MPH, there was an abnormal popping sound coming from the vehicle after driving over a speed bump. The rear driver’s side of the vehicle lowered as the subframe detached from the vehicle. Due to the failure the vehicle remained stuck in the parking garage because the vehicle could not be towed out of the parking garage. The contact also stated that the vehicle could not be moved without causing further damage to it. The contact stated that the vehicle became an obstruction to the other motorist entering the parking garage. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and an agent attempted to assist the contact; however, the agent stated that any attempts to move the vehicle could be dangerous and cause more damage to the vehicle. The part was not yet replaced. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.

The contact owned a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while trying to get out of parallel parking, the accelerator was depressed, and the vehicle jumped. There were no warning lights illuminated. As a result, the vehicle crashed into the vehicle that was in front. The contact snapped her neck. No medical assistance was needed. No police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be repaired however the failure persisted four more times. On a separate occasion, the vehicle would accelerate on its own without any reason, the contact would turn the vehicle off and back on, to drive the vehicle back to normal conditions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where unknown repairs were completed. The dealer informed the contact that the gas pedal had glue on it. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 4,400.

Crash

The electric power-steering assist is failing while my vehicle is in motion. I lose power steering and have to use significantly more effort and may lead to a crash, at any speeds. I was driving on the highway when this happened, although it has happened at slower, neighborhood speeds. When this happens, I see a warning message on the dashboard stating the power-steering assist failed and service power steering, drive with caution and the steering is all non-power steering. At times, when I stop the car, and turn the power off, and re-start the car, the power steering works again for a short period of time, and then fails again. This is extremely dangerous. I cannot find any recalls on my car VIN # for this issue for the 2014 Corvette, but see the exact symptoms for the 2017 Corvette (GM' number for this recall is N182182760). Help....please!

09/30/2024 The smell is gasoline is emanating from the driver side after I put gas at a local gas station. A short while after I arrived home, the smell of gasoline was still strong. I observed a puddle of gas by the driver side door underneath the gas filler. I have not attempted to start the car until I know it is safe to move to a local dealership or mechanic. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, upon inspection of the engine compartment, the contact became aware of a fuel leak; however, the location of the leak was unknown. The contact was made aware of the Chevrolet Special Coverage Program: 17469 (Cracks on the Top Surface of Fuel Tank Fuel Pump Module); however, the Extended Warranty Coverage had expired before the repair was performed. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired because the warranty had expired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.

Earlier in the year I called GM about getting my Navigation updated. I ask when the next update would made current. I was told it would probably be in May. I decided to wait until then and it would be more accurate. When I called, they told me that GM had decided not to furnish a new update. I then tried to order one for last year and they could not update that either. I was willing to pay for it. With all the changes in highway's, it is dangerous to try to use it. They sold me the navigation and then made it obsolete. They did Bluetooth the radio but not the navigation. This is a safety hazard, and I feel the least they could do is charge me for the update and furnish it. It is still accurate except for new streets and there are a lot of changes. Help!

The vehicle fails to keep the engine cool when idling or traveling at low speeds and in low gears. When at a stop light, the engine temperature quickly increases to unsafe temperatures, and has even had to be shut off and went up in steam from the engine. Coolant level was and is still full. I believe the cooling fans fail to stay on, maybe due to being turned off on the highways, and therefore fail to turn back on after exiting the highway.

fuel leak on tank -dealer said had a crack-these tanks should not crack. not available but replaced tank at the dealership to repair. risk fire. check engine light started coming on about 6 months ago

Car stopped working would not start engine went out only had around 28000 miles 2014 corvette had to have it towed

The passenger seat belt immediately locks down and over tightens to a point of almost crushing the passenger. I do believe this belt will not function properly in an accident and may also fail to activate the air bag

ENGINE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT ALL RPM RANGES,VIBRATES WHOLE CAR ENGINE MOUNTS ARE FINE DRIVELINE DEFECTIVE CAR WAS INPSPECTED BY DEALER SAYS $6,000 TO $8,000 TO REPAIR.

This malfunction restricts abilities to monitor safety information on the screen. Mechanic has looked at the issue and was not able to address the issue. The issue has not been inspected by police or insurance. There was no indications prior to the failure of electrical screen. The issue first started about a year ago (03-30-2021).

Wheels Bent

The contact owns a 2014 Corvette Chevrolet. The contact stated while driving, the vehicle misfired and was not running properly. The information center became inoperable. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer where the information center and plugs were replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer a second time and was diagnosed that metal shavings were in the oil pan and that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that while driving in his neighborhood, the stabilizer and engine warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the same dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 4,900.

2014 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FAULLTY VALVE SPRING WHICH RESULTED IN AN EXPLOSION. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ENGINE FAILURE PRIOR TO THE EXPLOSION. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE.

Fire

In November 2021, upon smelling gasoline in my garage I discovered fuel leaking from the left rear side of the vehicle. I brought the car to the Van Chevrolet dealer in Scottsdale, AZ who claimed that no recall or extended warranty was available for the vehicle. In October 2016, I received a notice from Chevrolet that my car could develop cracks in the fuel tank and to NOT take it to a dealer until the crack manifested itself. The notice Enclosure 16009 is already posted on NHTSA: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10130604-9999.pdf The dealer advised that the notice had expired and I need to cover the repair out of pocket. This is a blatant safety issue with leaking fuel and the car is undrivable and is a danger to me and others. No warning lamps or messages appeared prior to the failure.

THE ELECTRIC POWER-STEERING ASSIST IS FAILING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I LOSE POWER STEERING AND HAVE TO USE MORE EFFORT TO MAINTAIN THE STEERING DIRECTION. THIS HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY, AND MAY LEAD TO A CRASH, AT ANY SPEEDS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I SEE A WARNING MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD STATING THE POWER-STEERING ASSIST FAILED, DRIVE WITH CAUTION AND THE STEERING IS ALL 'NON-POWER STEERING'. WHEN I STOP THE CAR, AND TURN THE POWER OFF, AND RE-START THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING WORKS AGAIN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND THEN FAILS AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I CANNOT FIND ANY RECALLS ON MY CAR VIN # FOR THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER, I DO SEE A NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V086. GM'S OWN NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS N182182760 ON OTHER GM VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME DANGEROUS ISSUE.

THE LCD WHICH SHOWS THE REAR VIEW CAMERA STARTED FLICKERING AND NOW IS COMPLETELY BLACK. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN DEC. OF 2013 AND ONLY HAVE LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT. A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET HAS SHOWN ME THAT IT IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR OF CORVETTE.

THE LCD THAT SHOWS THE REAR VIEW CAMERA STARTED FLICKERING AND NOW IS COMPLETELY BLACK. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, I CONCLUDE THAT IT IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR OF CORVETTE.

THE STITCHING ON THE DASH AND THE LEATHER AROUND THE AIRBAG IS COMING APART

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FISHTAIL. THE CONTACT RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO STABILIZE THE VEHICLE AS VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND REMAINED PARKED FOR ONE WEEK. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AGAIN, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KUNI CHEVROLET CADILLAC (916-538-721, LOCATED AT 7 2449 FULTON AVE, SACRAMENTO, CA 95825) WHERE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY PER GM'S SERVICE BULLETIN NO: 13384 "SUMMARY: THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY IN CERTAIN 2014 CHEVROLET CORVETTES WERE SHIPPED WITH IMPROPER FLUID LEVELS. OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT SUFFICIENT FLUID IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY COULD PRODUCE A LOUD WHINE AND/OR GEAR OR BEARING NOISE." THESE VEHICLES WERE THEN TOPPED OFF WITH FLUID AND SOME STILL HAD NOISES PRESENT REQUIRING DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLIES TO BE REPLACED HOWEVER THE ISSUE PERSISTS. DEALERS AND THE MANUFACTER WERE TELLING CUSTOMERS THE "WARBLE" SOUND THEY HEAR IS JUST DUE TO ENGINE NOISE/VIBRATION AND THE CYLINDER DEACTIVATION. NOW THAT VEHICLES ARE OUT OF WARRANTY THE ISSUE IS THAT DIFFERENTIALS INTERNALS ARE BEYOND REPAIR AND NEED REPLACING. GM HAS CHOOSEN NOT TO ISSUE A STANDARD RECALL, EVEN THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED 2014 MODELS WERE NOTIFIED, HANDLED AT DEALERS, AND PUT A STOP SALE ON VEHICLES FOR THE ISSUE BUT THEY ENDED THAT PROGRAM 11/30/2015. VEHICLES THAT EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE WILL COMMONLY HAVE A WARNING INDICATOR SAYING "SERVICE REAR AXLE" OR "REAR AXLE SYSTEM OFF" POP UP INDICATING WHERE THE ISSUE IS. COMMON CHECKS INCLUDE FLUID LEVEL, BATTERY CONNECTION, CONTROLLER/SENSOR PLUG CONNECTIONS AND MORE. VEHICLES THAT EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE CAN LOSE ABILITY TO CONTROL THEIR VEHICLE AT SPEED OR HAVE THEIR DRIVE AXLES LOCK UP WHILE MOVING CAUSING INJURIES, FATALITIES, AND MORE AVOIDABLE DAMAGES

INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM AND RADIO DISPLAY HAS INTERMITTENT FLICKERING OR ROLLING SCREEN WHILE CAR IS MOVING OR STATIONARY. THIS FLICKERING IS A CONCERN BECAUSE THE SCREEN CAN BE SEEN OUT OF THE CORNER OF YOUR EYES CAUSING DANGEROUS DISTRACTED VISION WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, THE BACK UP CAMERA HAS FLICKERING THAT MAKES BACKING UP DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. THIS STARTED IN OCTOBER 2018 AND HASN'T DISAPPEARED. GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM SINCE NOV. 2013 (#PIC5934 AND P1-1318NHTSA#10056464). I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS ABOUT THE PROBLEM ONLY TO GET A RUN AROUND OF DIFFERENT CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS AND DIFFERENT SERVICE REQUEST NUMBERS, BUT NO ACTION. THEY NEVER RETURN THEIR PHONE CALLS. THEY CLAIM THAT THEY GIVE COST ASSISTANCE, BUT ONLY AFTER I PAY A DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, WHICH I DID. TO REPLACE THE SYSTEM COSTS $1335. THEY BARELY OFFERED ANY COST ASSISTANCE EVEN THOUGH I OWN 2 GM VEHICLES, HAVE THEM SERVICED AT GM DEALERSHIPS, IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WHERE MOST PEOPLE DRIVE FOREIGN VEHICLES. THE FOREIGN CARS THAT I HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST STAND BY THEIR VEHICLES. I FEEL GM SHOULD DO THE SAME ESPECIALLY IF THEY WANT TO COMPETE IN THE CROWDED SO. CAL. MARKET. GM SEEMS TO BE ABANDONING THEIR DUTY OF NOT ISSUING A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO IN THOUSAND OAKS, CA CLAIMS THAT THEY HAVE HAD 7 INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM COMPLAINTS (AND REPLACEMENTS) AND THAT'S JUST ONE DEALERSHIP OUT OF HUNDRED OF THOUSANDS OF DEALERSHIPS ACROSS THE US AND THEREFORE HUNDRED OF THOUSANDS COMPLAINTS. COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. IT'S A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND I NEED HELP. I HAVE A VIDEO OF MY FLICKERING SCREEN AND WOULD LIKE TO EMAIL IT. HOW DO I DO THIS?

RADIO FLICKERS AND SCREEN ROLLS AS THE CAR IS DRIVING CAUSING YOU TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD CONSTANTLY CREATING A BIG DISTRACTION. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME THE CAR IS OPERATING.

MY VEHICLE WHEN TURNING SLOWLY CLICKS AND POPS LIKE THE WHEEL IS ABOUT TO COME OFF. THE DEALER SAID ITS A NORMAL SOUND THATS MADE WHEN TURNING, I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TWICE TO MY DEALERSHIP...

HEAVY GASOLINE FUME SMELL BUILDING UP IN GARAGE/HOUSE. BIG PUDDLE OF GASOLINE WAS ON THE GROUND UNDER REAR DRIVER SIDE TANK. FUMES COME THROUGH VENTS IN CAR ALSO.

I NOTICED YESTERDAY WHEN ENTERING MY POLE BARN, A STRONG FUEL ODOR..UPON EXTENSIVE SMELLING, I LOCATED A FUEL LEAK WHEN I HAD THE CAR ON MY LIFT, THE FUEL TANK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS GASOLINE RUNNING DOWN THE PLASTIC TANK. I HAVE MODINE HEATERS IN THIS BLDG, SO I LOWERED THE CAR AND PUSHED IT OUTSIDE WITH HELP. I BOUGHT THE CAR PRE OWNED FROM BERSTROM CHEVY IN OSHKOSH, AND THEY NEVER GAVE ME SOME LETTER THAT I LEARNED WAS SENT TO ALL OWNERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, JUST SHORT OF A RECALL. GM EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 6 YEARS FOR THIS PROBLEM IF YOU GET IT.. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THIS, BECAUSE IF THEY JUST REPLACE THE NEEDED PARTS, HOW DO I KNOW THIS WILL NOT RE OCCUR.. I READ MANY C7 VETTS FROM 2014 - 2017 HAVE THIS PROBLEM. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

2014 CORVETTE STINGRAY FILL IT FULL OF FUEL AND NOW I KEEP SMELLING FUEL

THE TORQUE TUBE (DRIVE SHAFT) FAILED AT 14,423 MILES. FIXED BY AUTHORIZED DEALER. FAILED AGAIN 1500 MILES LATER. TOTAL TIME IN SHOP 38 DAYS. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

WHEN I TURN THE STERLING WHEEL AT TIMES THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY LOSE POWER AND THE WHEEL WILL LOCK UP. ALSO IF I TURN ON MY TURN SIGNAL NO MATTER OF THE SPEED I'M TRAVELING THE POWER WILL CUT OFF.

HAD C7 Z51 STICK 2014 AND HAD PROBLEM WITH TRACTION AND STABILITY CONTROL. AFTER PURCHASED THE CAR I RECOGNIZED THAT WHEN ACCELERATION BIT FASTER THERE WAS BACK AXLE, PARKING BRAKE AND SOME OTHER WARNINGS. IT HAPPENED ALWAYS WHEN ACCELERATED BIT FASTER. WINTER STAB WORKED OK. BUT NOW IN SUMMER I LOST CONTROL ON HIGHWAY DRIVING 50 MPH ACCELERATING ON WET ROAD AND LOST CONTROL AND HIT GUARD RAIL. THERE WAS NO STABILITY OR TRACTION CONTROL WHAT SO EVER. I WAS IN ECO MODE WHICH HAS NORMAL STAB/TRAC CONTROL. I BROUGHT TO DEALER WHEN WARNING LIGHTS COME UP, BUT DEALER SAID IT IS NORMAL NO WORRY EVERYTHING IS OK. BUT IT WAS NOT WORKING AT ALL!!

Crash 6 injured 1 deaths

EXTREMELY STRONG FUEL ODORS THAT FILL MY GARAGE AND SEEP INTO MY HOUSE. IM STANDING IN THE KITCHEN NOW NEXT TO THE GARAGE AND CAN BARELY FINISH TYPING THIS BEFORE HAVING TO MOVE TO THE LIVING ROOM I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICE TO THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T SMELL OR FIND ANYTHING, SO ITS OBVIOUS THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT.

THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED FROM DOING 25 MPH AT 1200 RPM, TO OVER 6500 RPM AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I DID NOT ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE ON MY OWN, AND PRESSING THE BRAKE DID NOTHING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. BECAUSE OF THIS, MY VEHICLE IS POSSIBLY TOTALLED AND LUCKILY MYSELF, OR NO ONE ELSE WAS SERIOUSLY HURT OR LOST OUR LIFE. I HAVE TRIES CONTACTING SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS TO SEE IF THERE IS A POSSIBLE RECALL ABOUT THIS ISSUE OR HAVE THEIR BEEN OTHER CASES OF THIS TO NO AVAIL. I DO ALSO PLAN ON CONTACTING CHEVROLET ABOUT THIS ISSUE ALSO.
