The retractable headrest on the folding hard top convertible broke so it does not retract appropriately to allow the folding motion to close the roof to occur. It requires sticking your hand inside the roof while trying to close it and pulling it out fast. Internet searches have revealed others had the same issue with a cable breaking. My vehicle has less than 12k miles and top has only been retracted a handful of times.

Vehicle: 2022 Chevrolet Corvette c8 1lt VIN: [xxx] mileage at time of defect: 5,359 miles purchase date:xxx ([xxx]) defect description: at approximately 5,359 miles, my vehicle developed a serious transmission defect. When placed in reverse gear and the brake pedal is released, the vehicle jerks backward abruptly and then shuts off completely. Additionally, when driving forward, the transmission skip-shifts unpredictably (e. G. , jumping from 1st gear to 3rd gear to 5th gear without engaging intermediate gears). This creates a serious safety hazard, including sudden loss of power while driving and unpredictable/violent vehicle movement while reversing, which could cause a collision or injury to myself or others nearby. The vehicle was inspected by alghanim automotive, an authorized gm dealer in [xxx], on xxx, which confirmed the transmission required full replacement, at a cost of approximately $23,500 usd. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this defect, as it appears to be a manufacturing/transmission defect that could affect other 2022 Corvette c8 owners and may warrant a recall.
