What owners report
"Both front headlamp assemblies have internal moisture condensation and permanent residue/streaking on the interior lens surfaces. This is a known manufacturing defect documented across 2020-2024 C8 Corvette model years. GM issued TSB 01-08-42-001P acknowledging this defect. Cox Chevrolet documented both headlamps as 'DEFECTIVE HEADLAMP LENSES' on repair order #428778. The vehicle has only 3,700 miles. GM's own Policy Evaluation Tool confirms zero miles driven out of warranty. GM offered only $250 in rewards points in response to a formal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act demand for $5,050 in repair coverage. GM Case numbers: 91145522 and 105260981.

The vehicle has the dash lifting started to happen a month after I bought the vehicle that a bubble formed and now itâs peeling off itâs a common issue on all Corvette 3Ltâs and Chevy is aware of it and charge customers $3,000 to replace it and donât think itâs right to do that and should own up to mistake but forums of Corvette owners show how common of a issue it is on the 3Lt trim since itâs leather.
Noise from the rear of the vehicle. Took vehicle in to dealership. The determined that it was a left side loose axle nut. This is clearly a safety issue. It may not have been torqued properly at the factory. The vehicle is a 2021 with only 5500 miles. They did the repair/tightened the axle nut and the noise is gone.
intermittent black screen from the Rear Vision Camera (RVC) on the infotainment screen with red icons when put in reverse the backup camera may fail with a black screen there is no full mirror coverage to the rear of the car while backing up.
I cannot believe the Corvette does not show that the alternator does not show that the car is not charging. I have a thirty year old corvette that will show you when the alternator does not show the car has an under performing alternator. If you do not have it showing on the display it will not show you that the alternator is defective. You have to show it on the display you never know you have a problem. It is an issue that is not a problem unless you know. I bought a battery and it was the alternator. They need to do a software upgrade to show you when a system goes out. My 1992 Corvette show you when there is a problem. Pathtic support on the part of General Motors.
