2005 Chevrolet Corvette c6 from North America - Comments

The paint (clear coat) has spots where the color has separated from the clear coat.

The heads up display housing has warped and popped out no dash has to be replaced

polished wheels have pits in them and black spots where they were not polished out properly.

Just want to let others know chevy will not do any thing for you regarding your paint, they will tell you its within gm specifacations.

Also don't waist your money on the polished wheels chevy won't do anything about them.

That must feel especially galling, to happen to a lovely new 'Vette.'

GM's reputation gets darker every day.

They'll soon be out of business altogether at this rate.

I agree with you on the fact that gm's reputation is falling by the minute. There looking for pontiac to basically revive everything with there new line of cars. with stories of the corvette being like this that won't help anything, but no one knows it and the corvette is a nationally respected car and will sell no matter what.

I'm sorry you're having problems with the paint. I've had my Corvette since May 2005 and all is well. It's fabulous.

Keep selling America Short! I paint cars and the Corvette paint job is just fine! No better or worse than any other manufacturer.

Just wondering... where in the USA are you?

With bD paint and dash warping issues, methinks you may be living somewhere very hot and sunny?

Sorry to hear about your problem, though : (

My '05 Vette (auto trans) with 8400 miles on odometer just started to display "Change Engine Oil" warning on dash. I intend to change oil myself, but does anyone know if the warning will reset by itself or do I have to go to the dealer for that. Like most people, I try to avoid dealers like I avoid dentists. Any input on this matter is greatly appreciated.

Oops, I goofed! I'm the above writer who requested information regarding resetting "Change Engine Oil" warning. Since almost a month has passed by without any input, it is apparent that this column does not have much visitors, or the readers just felt the question was too stupid, which I am more inclined to with the latter. Checking with the dealer technician, I was informed that all I have to do is to read the Owner's Manual. Ha! By the way, it's on Pg 5-18.
