I hear you Jason. I have been so excited with this car and selling all of its amazing features to friends and family as I have owned. Its hard for me to love the car any longer though after it put me in such a dangerous predicament. My car had a torque tube replaced at just 1k miles. Pulley tensioner problems at around 5,000 miles. 6,600 miles, starter blow up, fuse box melts down and rod bearing goes thus killing the motor and oil system. This dealership Van Chevrolet in Scottsdale is blaming Coulter Chevrolet four poorly installing the torque tube when it was replaced thus causing the motor to blow. My response is if you built the damn torque tube correctly in the first place this never would have happened and you would have saved yourself $32K in repairs) The motor is about $25k including parts and service, the torque tube I hear is about a $7K repair duet to all the labor required to get to it. I asked Chevy to reset my engine hours timer since I am getting a brand new motor. I wonder if that increases or decreased the value of the car. Yes the numbers don't match but now you have a brand new motor with 100K mile warranty on it. I hear lemon law is a tough one get although it sound like you are close. In AZ I believe its 30 days in the shop cumulatively before warranty is up or before 24,000 miles have been driven. That or car must have had same problem 4 times. I doubt I can blow up the engine 3 more times unless they keep installing sub par torque tubes. The funny thing is I have a 14- some problems should be expected for a first year car but not this bad. You have a 15 right?, One would think they would have fixed all of these flaws by now. To all future Corvette buyers.... wait another year and hope they fix all of these problems before you consider buying this car. What good is a car that you can take on a short road trip if you don't trust that it can make it.
