| Engine And Engine Cooling problems |
On August 1st, my '24 z06 unexpectedly caught fire after a short evening of driving — 7 miles to dinner, 7 miles to a store, then 2 miles to drop my wife off at the grocery store. I was heading to refuel when the fire started. The car was in sport mode, so the fans were running. Thankfully, we were able to put it out. Gm sent three inspectors, including an independent expert who noted that most fire cases he sees result in the car being reduced to a blob. On August 28, scott bell (vp of global Chevrolet) told our dealer he would expedite a replacement. We placed the order — but the following week, gm reversed course, claiming the fire was caused by "non-car material" and not their responsibility. Meanwhile, our insurance company determined the fire originated from the gas vent system. They’ll cover the damage ($9,000), but not the cause — leaving us to pay $1,000 out-of-pocket for the vent system. No safety lights were indicated while driving, or even after the fire (it still starts). The car is in the process of being repaired, so probably no longer available to inspect. I, as the insurance company, believe this is related to the recall on this car.
When driving, car will falsely and intermittently get random error codes on bus module; resulting in a false frunk or front latch service warning under body control module code b1a5f or u164f for gateway. Chevy has found electrical connectors for car built in Nov/Dec 2023 which have plastic or bits inside the connectors making the electrical system have issues. However, even after addressing those faulty connectors they now think its also related to bad software. No resolution after 8 months of attempted repairs, and chevy forums show other people with the bus errors around same build time of end 2023. If you are driving car when these errors randomly pop in or out, the car will go into reduced power and speed limit of 25 mph as it thinks the front trunk latch is open (when its closed). If on a highway, this can result in death or major accident. Multiple safety concerns go unaddressed by chevy since early 2024 reports of issues.
