Chevrolet Corvette — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 12,362 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Fuel system2,368 (19.2%)Official recall records for this system: 5, covering model years 1995–2026.
• Steering2,260 (18.3%)Official recall records for this system: 12, covering model years 1997–2018.
• Tires & wheels1,200 (9.7%)
• Electrical system974 (7.9%)Official recall records for this system: 4, covering model years 2005–2021.
• Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)758 (6.1%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 2021–2022.
• Engine698 (5.6%)

Other / uncategorized: 292 classifications (2.4%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (10,120 records, model years 1995–2025) are most frequently classified under: fuel system, steering and tires & wheels.
• Safety recalls (116 records, model years 1995–2025) are most frequently classified under: seat belts, air bags (restraint system) and steering.
• Transport Canada recalls (97 records, model years 1997–2026) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), steering and lights.
• Manufacturer communications (28,921 records, model years 1995–2025) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and engine.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Mileage reported when the issue occurred

• 6,980reports included a mileage
• 42,907average of those mileages

This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.

Counts are not adjusted for how many vehicles were sold in each year, so a taller year is not necessarily a worse year.
