Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe Problems of Chevrolet Corvette

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!!!.

On four separate occasions over the last two weeks the vehicle has failed to start after being turned off for a brief period of time (while refueling the vehicle, etc. ). On 2 of those 4 occasions the vehicle has required towing to a dealership's repair facility. On the first occasion, the vehicle would turn over but failed to start. It then mysteriously started again after sitting at the gas pumps of the gas station for approximately 45 minutes while waiting for a tow truck. On the second occasion, the vehicle failed to start but was able to be restarted after pulling and reinserting the fuel pump relay located in the under hood ubec. On the third occasion, pulling and reinserting the fuel pump relay had no affect, the vehicle would not start and the vehicle required towing to the dealership. The dealership noted loose connections on the ubec and also replaced the fuel pump relay. One day later, the vehicle again failed to start and required towing to the dealership, where the vehicle is currently. Upon writing-up the service ticket, the dealer stated that the circuits within the ubec on this vintage Corvette have been problematic and that the ubec would most likely require replacement. On visual inspection, the ubec appears to be located very close to the exhaust manifold on the vehicle which would make it very susceptible to intermittent failures of various ubec components caused by heat (headlights, fuel pump, etc. ). Gm should issue a voluntary recall to include a heat shield or some improvement in component design of the ubec on this vehicle.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 mph, there was fire under the hood and all warning lights on the instrumental panel illuminated. The contact mentioned the fire extinguished independently, once the vehicle was turned off. The vehicle was towed to jeff wyler dixie Chevrolet (5340 dixie hwy, louisville, ky 40216) where it was diagnosed with a misfire cylinder number 6 and fractured valve spring needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired however, the contact noticed that the cover to go over the spring was burnt. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact mentioned the failure recurred three times. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the intake gasket underneath the manifold needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken once again to the dealer where it was diagnosed this time with a manifold, the coil spark cord and misfire cylinder 5 and 6 needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage 37,015.

The rear welded flanges on the tail pipes on my 1998 Corvette both failed on my car causing increased heat and exhaust fumes to be pulled into the passenger compartment.

Both exhaust pipes are separated from flange in front of rear axle. Pipes keep muffler off ground. When separate and muffler hits ground, it can damage rear of vehicle, and vehicle in path. Also fumes are leaking from exhaust pipes. Dealer contacted. *akthe inspector at the inpection station informed consumer that this was common in Corvettes with the same body style, and the failure is due to faulty exhaust welds allowing exhaust pipe seperation.

This car has burned several quarts of oil since I've owned it. It burns approximately 1 to 1 1/2 quarts every one thousand miles. The dealership said the 2001 Corvettes all have this problem because of bad piston rings. They siad some cars consume as much as 3 quarts of oil per 1000 miles. The amount of oil burned is relative to how hard the car is driven. There are know replacement parts available at this time. I think the whole engine shopuld be replaced along with the oil soaked catalitic converter and mufflers.
