Driveshaft Problems of Chevrolet Corvette

The shifter is connected to the transmission with a 4 foot cable, this cable is housed in the drive shaft tunnel, the cable has a plastic bushing on both ends, the heat in the tunnel bakes the plastic bushing that connects the shifter to the transmission cable, my bushing broke into pieces and the car could not shift into or out of gear. Many Corvettes in the c5,c6 & c7 modes have this same issue and are failing everyday. My car was in the garage in park, I had driven it earlier in the day, I stared the car and the shifter would move, but the plastic bushing had broken into pieces due to the heat failure. I know of the happening to 4 other Corvettes and the shop I took my car to was receiving other calls on the same issue.

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.

The torque tube (drive shaft) failed at 14,423 miles. Fixed by authorized dealer. Failed again 1500 miles later. Total time in shop 38 days. We are afraid to drive the car because it could cause loss of control.

The support bearings in the torque tube for the drive shaft failed. This causes a vibration noise of variable intensity. A simple investigation of the problem revealed that this is a problem with the c6 models.

As consumer was driving he began to hear a clicking noise in the engine or some where underneath. Consumer took vehicle to dealer and was told that there was something broke that was rattling around in the drivetrain. The vehicle is now in to be repaired because dealership says this is a major safety problem, and would not release vehicle until repairs are made. Dealership curtious Chevrolet---713-686-7777.
