I was going down the highway and noticed that the Corvette was getting really hot, than about 5 min later onstar reported a engine, trans, and rear end problem along with a loud clanking noise from the motor. Now it only does about 65 thank it goes to 5k rpms and goes nowhere.
I have about 500 miles on my 2017 c7 Corvette and obviously never drove it in the winter, always garaged and just took it out a very few times over the past 2 weeks during nice weather. I opened the hood for the very first time and showed a friend of mine the engine, he was a mechanic for years, and we both immediately seen the manifolds were rusty. This is horrible that gm would release a nearly $60,000 vehicle with such a flaw and possibly near future catastrophic engine problems because of it!??????? please see the attached photos and advise me if you can please have these manifold headers replaced with ones which won't rust horrifically such as stainless steel or similar? all over the internet many Corvette owners with new Corvettes are complaining about the same concerns and issues! please do a nationwide recall and have Chevrolet replace all of these manifold headers with stainless or other suitable material. Please help everyone???!!! thanks!!!.
My Corvette is a z06 that is designed and built for track use. When I use it on track it overheats and goes into limp mode after about 15 mins. Sometimes the power steer faults making it difficult and dangerous to control the car. I do not use it regularly on the street.
