general problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Corvette

I have a 2011 Chevrolet Corvette with about 34,000 miles on it. The automatic transmission shift linkage cable has plastic grommets that connect the shift handle to the transmission. The plastic grommets broke disabling the ability to shift out of park into any gear. I was parked in a parking lot when this happened. My concern is if this happens while driving you will lose control of the car.

Gear shifter failed. Stuck in drive. . . Had to shut car off to stop motion and avoid collision. Other reports indicate numerous similar failures on low mileage Corvettes.

Check engine light comes on and has a p0442. I can smell fuel after light comes on mostly and lower speeds (under 10 mph) and always at a stop. When I fill up it is a definite under both circumstances. I was pointed to a new gas cap. I've replaced 2 and the code continues to return and the smell of fuel is outstanding and seems unsafe for the potency.

I have a bad rattle noise coming from under the car. It sounds like some bearing, or marbles are loose. It happens when car is in drive and at a stop light or parked. My personal mechanic pinpointed the issue to the torque tube/ flex plate bearings.

On 8/4/2017, I went into reverse at a parking lot and a/t shift became loose. Could not shift into drive and only could move back regardless of gear selected. This malfunction could have let me exposed to incoming traffic. A mechanic friend of mine found that a broken bushing and stretched shifter cable were causing the problem. My car is less than 32 000 miles and well kept.

Operating vehicle in heavy traffic, stop and go for 30 minutes. Accelerating from traffic light, making gear change from second to third at 25 mph clutch peddle went to floor hard, unable to complete gear change. Very dangerous situation with no power, traffic behind vehicle made hard stop to avoid hitting my car. Caused major traffic jam until vehicle could be pushed off road.
