2018 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."

What year is the most dependable 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.
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.
What is the downside of owning a Corvette?
They may scoff at the weak fuel economy and low ground clearance (ranging from 3.7 to 5.0 inches in models released after the millennium) almost guaranteeing contact with the pavement at the slightest bump or pothole. But car enthusiasts can agree the price is right.
Is a Corvette high maintenance?
The Chevrolet Corvette Reliability Rating is 3.0 out of 5.0, which ranks it 23rd out of 24 for midsize cars. The average annual repair cost is $737 which means it has average ownership costs.
Is Corvette C7 reliable?
Chevy C7 Corvettes aren't all rainbows and sunshine to live with. While they are generally regarded as reliable sports cars, things can go wrong. One of the US's favorite cars would be none other than the Chevrolet Corvette.

WHEELS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-07-31
- VIN: 1G1YV2D72J5
- Components: WHEELS
- Summary: Inside lip of rear wheel cracked and wheel bent beyond repair, per wheel repair company. OEM make and model tire was in place and no noticeable impact was felt to cause this failure. This caused an air leak leaving me stranded at the side of the highway. Had to buy an expensive replacement wheel.
WHEELS PROBLEM

- VIN: 1G1YY3D77J5
- Components: WHEELS
- Summary: Vehicle had a shake, and felt like it was shifting wrong. Apparently, Two of the four rims have were confirmed cracked which led to an unsafe vehicle for travel. The vehicle had approximately 15,230 miles on the tires and rims when air was leaking out. All four tires were shot. All four tires and all four rims had to be replaced.
WHEELS PROBLEM

- VIN: 1g1yx2d7xj5
- Components: WHEELS
- Summary: Rear wheel cracked in 4 places inside rim towards outside causing slow leak. Could eventually crack enough to cause wheel to fail.
WHEELS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-06-15
- VIN: 1G1YY2D71J5
- Components: WHEELS
- Summary: Purchased the vehicle February 2018. In September 2019, I replaced the tires and within a few days, I started losing air pressure. Both rear wheels cracked. I tried to get GM to honor the 36 month bumper to bumper warranty but they refused. I purchased replacement wheels at my own expense. In June 2022, after 9000 miles, the car started driving rough so I brought it to the dealership. Both the driver side wheels, front and back, are bent.
WHEELS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2020-05-13
- VIN: 1G1YY2D74J5
- Components: WHEELS
- Summary: Prior to warranty expiration I took my car to be checked for vibration at highway speed. McMulkin Chevrolet NH told me they had to change the fluid in the transmission. This did nothing for the problem. During this time the drivers side tires would lose tire pressure faster than what is acceptable. At no time did the dealer mention the wheel cracking and warping problem experienced by this model vehicle. A year later I am experiencing excessive air leakage on three wheels. Upon further inspection I have found that the three tires have stress cracks. If I had known about the wheel defect I would have taken action sooner. I find this to be a dangerous safety related policy by GM to not alert the owners of these vehicles to the widespread problem.
WHEELS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-04-03
- VIN: 1g1yx2d77j5
- Components: WHEELS
- Summary: Failure was the right rear wheel cracked in two places causing tire to go flat on highway . A flat tire could cause the vehicle to go out of control in traffic resultion in a serious accident causing injury or death Dealer Bob Huff Chevolet of Wrythville Va diagnosed and confirmed the problem and initially Walmart tire and service attempted to diagnose and fix the tire thinking a nail had beenj picked up causing a air leak but discovered the cracked wheel in two places causing air loss wrs . A new wheel was ordered by Bob Huff Chevy and installed by them. GM is well aware of the cracked wheels and refuse to do anything about it calling the bad wheels a result of road hazards and potholes etc. When the tire loses air the low tire warning light comes on and more air must be installed but as i was stranded on Easter Saturday and Sunday waiting too order a new wheel making it impossible to travel as i could only get about 25 miles after putting additional air in the tire.

WITH THAT SAID AM LOOKING TO JOIN A LAWSUIT BECAUSE I HAVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE WITH THAT GM KNOWINGLY IS CONTINUING TO DENY AND SOMEONE MAY LOSE THEIR LIFE BY CRASHING AFTER A BLOWOUT THAT MOST LIKELY COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY GM STEPPING UP AND TAKING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR SELLING US FAULTY CAST WHEELS.

- VIN: 1G1YX2D72J5
- Components: WHEELS
- Summary: AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FROM KENTUCKY TO FLORIDA THE FOLLOWING DAY I RECIEVED AN ALERT ON MY PHONE SAYING MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS FLAT. AFTER EXAMINING THE TIRE AND WHEEL I DISCOVERED A SIGNIFICANT CRACK ON THE INBOARD SIDE OF THE RIM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DALE EARNHARDT JR CHEVROLET IN TALLAHASSEE FL.

- Components: WHEELS
- Summary: REAR OEM WHEELS OF HAVE LIP CRACKS AND CHEVROLET WILL NOT HONOR NEW RIMS UNDER THE FULL FACTORY WARRANTY. THEY HAVE STATED THAT THE RIMS HAVE DEVELOPED CRACKS FROM HITTING POT HOLES. THIS IS NOT CORRECT BECAUSE I HAVE NOT HIT ANY "POTHOLES" OR ANY OTHER ROAD IMPERFECTIONS THAT WOULD CAUSE ALL OF THESE LIP CRACKS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE WHEELS THAT ARE ON THE GRAND SPORT MODEL. THREE DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO BUY NEW RIMS AT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. I PAID $55,000 FOR A CAR THAT SHOULD NOT NEED NEW RIMS. THE ISSUE IS THAT IF I BUY NEW OEM RIMS, MANY OTHER CORVETTE OWNERS HAVE DONE THIS AND THE SAME CRACKS APPEAR ON THE NEW REPLACEMENT WHEELS. THIS IS JUST WRONG AND CHEVROLET KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM YET FAIL TO TAKE OWNERSHIP. VERY DISAPPOINTING AND FRUSTRATING TO SAY THE LEAST. BOTH WHEELS LOST AIR PRESSURE AND ONE WENT COMPLETELY FLAT. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE OF DEFECTIVE WHEELS ARE EXPRESSWAY SPEEDS. I WENT TO MANY SHOPS TO GET THEM REPAIRED AND NO-ONE WILL EVEN TOUCH THEM!

The 2LT may be a bit pricey, but it offers everything you need and want in a comfortable and capable race car. It's important to note that it's not a sports car like a Miata or BMW, 370Z, Mustang GT, nor is it a muscle car like a Challenger. This is a race car and it certainly feels like one. It outperforms and outshines all other cars in its class. Even after a year, I still love this car and have had absolutely no problems with any of its systems. I do need to replace the tires this year, which can be a bit pricey, but that's to be expected. It remains a very comfortable and nimble car to drive. Two years later, in late 2018, the car still has low mileage and no problems with any of its systems. Only routine maintenance has been performed or needed, and it's still quite quick. Three years later, in early 2019, the car still has low mileage and no problems with its interior systems, except for the touch screen which was replaced with no issue. I have replaced two tires, which were warrantied, and it's still quite quick.
-
The seating may be snug for someone who is 6 foot or taller, but it's definitely worth it. Honestly, I can't find anything else to dislike about this car. In fact, the snug seating has become a positive because it makes you feel like you're in a cockpit and truly connected with the car.
-
Collector Edition-fabulous performance at a great price. Beautiful leather interior with many, many electronic features. I love this car!
-
Took it for a test ride and couldn't resist. I purchased it and have loved it from day one. It's the nicest car I've ever owned.
-
I got this for my wife when the lease on her BMW was up, but now I'm the one looking for any excuse to drive it. It's quick and has great handling! And, in this age of turbo 4s and 6s, it actually sounds like a muscle car. Yes, a Tesla will beat it off the line, and a Prius will get better mileage...

Are you having problems with your 2018 Chevrolet Corvette?
Bill Connelly 2024-11-11
This is my 10th Corvette, and I have owned a range of models from T tops, Targa Tops, Convertibles, Autos, Manuals, and 1 ZR1. When I purchased my 2018 Z51 3LT Stingray Coupe in January 2019, the Dealerships Internet Department failed to disclose the GM Service Bulletin regarding WHEEL HOP, which only included 2014 to 2017 Stingrays. When I experienced SEVERE WHEEL HOPPING at parking lot speeds, in HARD RIGHT OR LEFT TURNS, I was concerned. However, the dealership printed the aforementioned GM BULLETIN, which stated that it was NORMAL. Despite starting a LEMON LAW with GM, I was told that it was NORMAL. I even contacted an Attorney, but his EXPERT said he would not go to court because GM SAYS, ITS NORMAL. Unfortunately, the Dealership I purchased the car from was of no help. As a Corvette Enthusiast, I am disappointed with my experience. However, I remain confident in the quality of the Corvette brand. It is worth noting that the value of my car has decreased by almost $20K in only 5 MONTHS, from $63K to $45K.

It's great to see so many overseas competitors excelling in technology and overall drive when it comes to vehicles in this price range. However, we are confident that we can keep up with the competition and continue to provide high-quality vehicles to our customers.
Keyshawn Grant 2024-07-06
This car has great performance, but unfortunately, I experienced some issues with the wheels being out of balance and the front end not being aligned properly when I bought it new. The steering wheel was also crooked. I have owned several Toyotas and Hondas and have never experienced these issues. Additionally, the seat backs were loose in the hinges, even after being replaced. Despite these setbacks, the car still has impressive performance. However, I did experience some frustration with the 8-speed auto transmission, which seems to be a common issue according to online forums. Unfortunately, the dealer and GM were unable or unwilling to fix it. Overall, my experience with this car was not as positive as I had hoped. I have since decided to part ways with it. By the way, I noticed that all the entries on the model drop-down menu are listed as '7M', even though this is an automatic.
