1991 Chevrolet Corvette problems
The Chevrolet Corvette is a line of American two-door, two-seater sports cars, manufactured and marketed by General Motors, under the Chevrolet marque, since 1953.
Over the course of eight generations, indicated sequentially as C1 to C8, the Corvette is noted for its performance, distinctive styling, lightweight fiberglass or composite bodywork, and competitive pricing. Since the cessation of Ford and Chrysler's competitors, the Corvette is the only two-seat sports car produced by a major United States auto manufacturer and serves as Chevrolet's halo car.
Since its introduction in 1953, the two-seater has steadily moved upmarket. Originally a relatively modest, lightweight 6‑cylinder convertible, subsequent introductions of V8 engines, competitive chassis innovations, and rear mid-engined layout have positioned the Corvette in the supercar class. The first three Corvette generations (1953–1983) employed body-on-frame construction, and since the C4 generation, introduced in 1983 as an early 1984 model, Corvettes have used GM's unibody Y‑body platform. All Corvettes used front mid-engine configuration for seven generations, through 2019, and transitioned to a rear mid-engined layout with the C8 generation.
In 1953, GM executives accepted a suggestion by Myron Scott, then the assistant director of the Public Relations department, to name the company's new sports car after the corvette, a small maneuverable warship. The first model, a convertible, was introduced at the 1953 GM Motorama as a concept car; production models went on sale later that year. In 1963, the second generation was introduced in coupe and convertible styles. Originally manufactured in Flint, Michigan, and St. Louis, Missouri, the Corvette has been produced in Bowling Green, Kentucky, since 1981, which is also the location of the National Corvette Museum.
The Corvette has become widely known as "America's Sports Car." Automotive News wrote that after being featured in the early 1960s television show Route 66, "the Corvette became synonymous with freedom and adventure," ultimately becoming both "the most successful concept car in history and the most popular sports car in history."

Common 1991 Chevrolet Corvette problems
The 1991 Chevrolet Corvette, while a classic and powerful vehicle, has been known to have several common problems that owners have reported. Here are some of the issues and their details:
- Throttle Linkage: The throttle linkage is known to stick, causing the throttle body to remain open. This creates a potentially serious issue in that it can cause the car to accelerate uncontrollably at ignition, resulting in damage to the vehicle and possible driver/passenger injury.
- Intake Manifold Gaskets: The intake manifold gaskets are prone to developing leaks. This can lead to a decrease in engine performance and fuel efficiency.
- Engine Overheating: The 1991 L98 Engine is known to have overheating issues. This can be caused by several factors, including a faulty cooling system or a malfunctioning thermostat.
- Air Conditioning Compressor: The air conditioning compressor on the 1991 Corvette has a high tendency to fail prematurely. This can lead to a loss of cool air in the vehicle's cabin.
- Alternator/Generator: The alternator on the 1991 Corvette is prone to premature failure, resulting in frequent replacement of the unit. Several instances have been reported of the alternator failing even after recent replacement, causing the vehicle to fail during normal operation.
- Passive Restraint System: During activation in an impact situation, the airbags either failed to deploy completely, or they partially deployed without fully inflating. This can lead to increased risk of injury during a crash.
- Driver & Passenger Seats: The driver's seat is known to become loose on track. Seat tracks are not securely mounted to the floorpan/frame assembly, creating possible hazardous driving conditions. Always inspect the driver and passenger seats before operating the vehicle.
- Seat Belts & Safety Restraints: In some instances, the shoulder harness of the driver’s seat belt has failed to restrain the driver during a crash condition, causing the driver to sustain injury against the steering wheel/dashboard. Seat belts were recalled by the dealership.
- Windshield Wiper System: The windshield wipers periodically skip across the windshield, causing them to get out of sync with each other. Additionally, the wiper assembly is prone to lock up during normal usage and requires replacement of the entire assembly.
- Fuel Level Sensor Failure: 87 people have reported this issue, where the fuel level sensor fails to accurately measure the amount of fuel in the tank, leading to inaccurate fuel gauge readings.
These issues are not exhaustive, and not every 1991 Corvette will experience these problems. However, these are common issues that have been reported by owners and should be taken into consideration when purchasing or maintaining a 1991 Corvette.
What problems did the 1991 Corvette have?
Mechanical Issues
The intake manifold gaskets are prone to developing leaks. The 1991 L98 Engine is known to have overheating issues. Intermittent stall issues have been frequently reported. The air conditioning compressor on the 1991 Corvette has a high tendency to fail prematurely.
Is a 1991 C4 Corvette reliable?
My 91 has just over 100k miles and still performs great. I've owned multiple domestic sports/muscle/pony cars and this one is my favorite. The L98 is very strong and reliable, 6-speed manual is very smooth shifting and from a rolling start, I'll put it against anything just for the fun of it.
What year was the bad Corvette?
What is the worse Corvette of all time? 1975. The body was degraded from the original 1968 shark design with energy-absorbing boat anchors on each end. The engine was a sluggish 350 with only 165 hp, hardly enough to run the quarter in 16.1 seconds at 87.4 mph.
Are 1990s Corvettes reliable?
They represent a significant engineering improvement over the C3 era - and they can provide a dependable, fun daily driver experience. Particularly with a six speed, it is fun to rev the V8 through the gears. Consider an affordable C4 as way to enjoy part of America's sports car legend - the Corvette.

TIRES PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-07-07
- VIN: 1G1YZ23J4M5
- Components: TIRES
- Summary: I had 4 brand new Mickey Thompson Street Comp tires (2 of P275/40R17 for the front and 2 of P315/35R17 for the rear) mounted on factory rims and spun balanced by my local garage. I then mounted those tire/wheel combinations onto the vehicle. I then drove the vehicle to the same garage for a yearly state inspection, and on my way there the steering wheel shimmied half of the time. When I got there I checked the lug nuts for any looseness with a torque wrench. All lug nuts were accurate. After the inspection I drove the car back to my garage (under 25 miles round trip) and removed all 4 tire/wheel combos, loaded them into my truck and brought them back to the garage to drop them off to have them balance checked in between the mechanics other jobs ahead of me. The mechanic checked them and informed me that all 4 were balanced accurately, as a matter of fact, he did them in front of me so I could see. He recommended that I take them to a shop that has a "Road Force Balancer". I found such a shop and after they tested all 4 tires, in front of me, they indicated that the 2 front could not be balanced, that they were "out-of-round" beyond balancing. One rear combo was passable and the other was just barely out of reach, but could possibly be used. It may even out after so many miles. I asked him if the rims could be the problem and he indicated to me that the machine he uses also measures the wheel itself, and he showed me how it does it. All 4 rims measured true. Thank you

Are you having problems with your 1991 Chevrolet Corvette?
Zachary Treutel 2024-10-29
Hey there! I just wanted to share that I am the proud owner of an 87 Corvette with only 30,000 miles on it. It runs like a dream and performs like a race car! I truly believe that Chevy was at the top of their game when they made this beauty. It's so much fun to work on and modify, and there are so many affordable options to make it even better. Compared to other high-performance cars, it's a steal! The only issue I've had is with the alarm system.
Ryley Beier 2024-09-20
Awesome rear end!!! Car is designed just like the Ferrari 308 GTB SI and is a great deal for the money!!!
Glennie Abernathy 2024-09-13
The car has not been driven for the past 10 years, although it was always stored indoors. It has shown little wear and only needed new tires, fluids, hoses, belts, and an 'awakening' by a garage. It's a fun car to drive, although it can be difficult to enter and exit. Surprisingly, the gas mileage is good and the ride is comfortable. Needless to say, I'm enjoying the car. I love the way it handles and performs, and have been taking it to car events and rallies.
Johnpaul Shanahan 2024-09-12
Hey there! I bought my car for $8,000 on cargurus.com in Dallas, Tx. After my mechanic passed away, I decided to give it away to a young college girl as a graduation gift from high school. It was a great car, getting 37 hwy & 33 city. I'm actually trying to find out which astronaut got it after NASA bought all 186 built. Any ideas?
Rodger Hamill 2024-08-10
The engine was designed by Lotus, built by Mercury Marine, and is a Chevrolet. While finding parts and certified mechanics can be a challenge, it is a very reliable engine that always runs strong. There are even examples out there with over 200,000 miles and they still run great!
