2014 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 2014 Chevrolet Corvette problems
The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, despite its impressive performance and capabilities, has been subject to several common problems reported by owners. These issues range from minor annoyances to more significant mechanical failures.
- Transmission Popping Out of First Gear: Another issue reported by MotorTrend is that the transmission on the 2014 Corvette had a tendency to pop out of first gear, which could be both inconvenient and potentially dangerous, especially in heavy traffic or when attempting to make a quick start.
- Leaking Differential Seals: The differential seals on the 2014 Corvette were also reported to leak, requiring replacement under warranty. This issue could lead to reduced performance and fuel efficiency, as well as potential damage to other components of the vehicle if not addressed promptly.
- Fuel Pump Failure: MotorTrend also reported that the fuel pump on the 2014 Corvette failed twice, once in a driveway during the dead of winter and once on the side of a road in rush-hour traffic. This issue could leave drivers stranded and in need of immediate repair.
- Transmission Issues: According to Chevrolet Problems, the 7th generation Corvette (2014-2019) ranks 34th in reliability out of 80 generations, with 49 complaints mostly about transmission problems. This suggests that transmission issues may be a common problem for 2014 Corvette owners.
- Infotainment System Malfunctions: Car and Driver reported that the infotainment system on their long-term 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 began malfunctioning at just 850 miles. While this issue was resolved with a simple warranty fix, it highlights the potential for electronic systems to fail, even in newer vehicles.
- Recall Issues: The 2014 Corvette has also been subject to several recalls, including one flagged by GM's many recent recalls. These recalls could indicate potential safety issues or other problems that may affect the performance and reliability of the vehicle.
It is worth noting that Chevrolet has reportedly addressed many of these issues through service bulletins and re-engineering efforts. However, these problems may still be a concern for potential buyers of used 2014 Corvettes, particularly those with higher mileage.

What is the most reliable year for the Corvette?
The 1963 Corvette is widely regarded as the most reliable Corvette of all time. Much of the reliability comes down to its reuse of the transmission offerings from the 1962 Corvette, which were already well known for their dependability, especially in regards to the 4-speed manual.

- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Earlier in the year I called GM about getting my Navigation updated. I ask when the next update would made current. I was told it would probably be in May. I decided to wait until then and it would be more accurate. When I called, they told me that GM had decided not to furnish a new update. I then tried to order one for last year and they could not update that either. I was willing to pay for it. With all the changes in highway's, it is dangerous to try to use it. They sold me the navigation and then made it obsolete. They did Bluetooth the radio but not the navigation. This is a safety hazard, and I feel the least they could do is charge me for the update and furnish it. It is still accurate except for new streets and there are a lot of changes. Help!

THEY BARELY OFFERED ANY COST ASSISTANCE EVEN THOUGH I OWN 2 GM VEHICLES, HAVE THEM SERVICED AT GM DEALERSHIPS, IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WHERE MOST PEOPLE DRIVE FOREIGN VEHICLES. THE FOREIGN CARS THAT I HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST STAND BY THEIR VEHICLES. I FEEL GM SHOULD DO THE SAME ESPECIALLY IF THEY WANT TO COMPETE IN THE CROWDED SO. CAL. MARKET. GM SEEMS TO BE ABANDONING THEIR DUTY OF NOT ISSUING A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO IN THOUSAND OAKS, CA CLAIMS THAT THEY HAVE HAD 7 INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM COMPLAINTS (AND REPLACEMENTS) AND THAT'S JUST ONE DEALERSHIP OUT OF HUNDRED OF THOUSANDS OF DEALERSHIPS ACROSS THE US AND THEREFORE HUNDRED OF THOUSANDS COMPLAINTS.

While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition.

- Consequence: A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
- Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017.
