2005 Chevrolet Corvette 1SB Z51 MN6 review from North America
"GM customer service wrecked this car experience for me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch & entire hydraulic system failed @ 120 miles, took 3 weeks to get parts & replace -- UNACCEPTABLE -- and GM screwed up my paint & interior with grease when it was in the shop.
Rear diff leak x 3
Bad coupe targa top seals
AC went out, had to be replaced
Navigation locked up & fried, had to be replaced
Driver's seat wear within 3,000 miles.
General comments?
Fun to drive, but a real pain to keep on the road
GM Customer Service is nonexistent -- "MR GOODWRENCH" is a joke. This is my 3rd & last GM, my 2nd & last Corvette. What a shame -- one of the nicest looking & best bang-for-the-buck cars on the road, and the dealer support is horrendous. I went round & round with GM to get simple warranty repairs done. These cars also depreciate like rocks. NEVER AGAIN!!! My next car is going to be a Lotus Elise.
