2020 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."

THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR WAY TOO LONG AND I DON'T THINK THAT THEIR STATEMENT SEEMS ACCURATE ABOUT DRIVING WITHOUT THE LIGHT/TURN SIGNAL. EVEN THOUGH GM STATES IT OK TO DRIVE I FEEL IT'S NOT THAT SAFE AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT MUCH THESE PAST 3 MONTHS. THIS IS A NEW MODEL AND I KNOW IT'S DIFFICULT TO HAVE ALL PARTS AVAILABLE FOR A NEW CAR BUT A HEADLIGHT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT IS IN STOCK IN THEIR WAREHOUSE PRIOR TO SHIPPING THESE CARS TO THE PUBLIC.

I DECIDED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO TAKE SOME PICTURES OF THE CAR. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON AND LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING WITH THE KEY FOB IN THE CUPHOLDER. AFTER I GOT THE SHOTS I WANTED, I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE DOWN THE CANYON AND WITHIN 15 SECONDS I HEARD THE FRONT HOOD LATCH CLICK/THUMP (SAME SOUND YOU HEAR WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON TO POP THE HOOD) RIGHT BEFORE I SAW THE HOOD FLY UP AND HEARD A SNAP. SUDDEN LOSS OF VISIBILITY ALMOST CAUSED MY CAR TO GO OFF THE CLIFF AS I COULDN'T SEE THE TURN. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE GOING OFF THE ROAD. THE HOOD DID NOT HIT MY FRONT WINDSHIELD, BUT THERE IS SEVERE HINGE DAMAGE AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO BOTH FENDERS AND THE FRONT HOOD. I HAD MY WINDOWS DOWN AND MY ROOF OFF, DID NOT HAVE THE RADIO ON AND IT WAS QUIET ROAD. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT THE HOOD LATCH WAS OPEN/DISENGAGED. EVEN WHEN THE HOOD FLEW UP, THERE WAS NO INDICATOR LIGHT OR BEEPING. I PUT THE HOOD BACK DOWN AS CAREFULLY AS I COULD.I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TRY MY BEST TO CLOSE THE HOOD SINCE I WAS IN AN AREA WITH NO RECEPTION IN ORDER TO KEEP DRIVING. IN THE CLOSED POSITION, THE HOOD IS NOW ABOUT 3/4 TO 1 INCH LOWER THAN EACH FENDER. SUPER PARANOID I TRIED TO DRIVE AS SLOWLY AS I CAN HOME, BUT I DID REACH SPEED UP TO 55 MPH.

Hi there! I noticed that my 2016 Zo6 with 12k miles is in need of new tires. I've also noticed that every time I hit the throttle, the tires spin. However, I recently upgraded to a 2020 model and what a change it has been! I can now turn the wheel without any rubbing from the tires and it's even faster than my old Zo6.
