Veh purchased 9/2015 and so far I have replace four rear rims and one front. All have hair line cracks on the inside of rim causing radical air loss, vibration and tire wear. Navigation screen flickers and goes on and off at least two times a week and I have to open and close to restart screen. Blower motor went out at 37k miles and the transmission is bucking, vibrating, shuddering and going into 5th gear at 31mph and feels like it is hanging up in 5th gear the clunks down to first at 10mph. Went to dealer, they claimed they did a software up date and things are fine. Left the dealership and came back 5 min later with same issue. Took service manager for a ride and he confirmed the horrible ride. Have to take back on Tuesday 5/28 and it feels like the drive shaft or rear end will fall out. They said it was fine. I hope nothing happens to me or the car.
Since 2014 c7 models of Corvette have torque tube failures. Its a coupling at the end of the driveshaft attaching to the differential. Chevy tried a fix in model 2015 that failed. It continues to fail and there are no parts available to do the repair. My 2016 just failed but there are cars that fail multiple times since the part have not been redesigned. Part failure results in damage to the differential, drive shaft and transmission. Repair exceeds $6000 and chevy will not repair if out of warranty. Please see google and other Corvette forum complaints. This is ongoing with no resolution.
