This complaint is a result of gm non action to their recall a202307260. It has been 2 months since the recall has been announced and parts or not available. Loss the the affected item (brake booster) severely impacts safety that could cause an accident resulting in severe injuries or death. Gm has parts -- they are building 180 units per day. There are under 700 - 2020 Corvette cars affected by this recall. Gm is putting profit and sales ahead of safety. Nhtsa should require gm to immediately use production parts to remedy this issue and close this recall considering it is safety related.
Gm refuses to replace the brake module despite the fact that this has been known since September 2020. The remedy "is incomplete"and parts are not yet available. It is ludicrous to assume that parts on a currently produced car are not available. They are installing this module daily. These are brakes that can fail and can cause an accident when they do fail.
On September 24, 2020, Chevrolet issued a recall for a possible contaminated brake booster module on numerous 2020 vehicles. This to me is a serious matter when it deals with the vehicles braking system. There have been customers online who have talked about this issue, with one customer stated that his brakes did fail and it was difficult for him to stop. I have made numerous calls to gm and no one could give me any accurate information. I have not been driving my new 2020 Corvette very often because of fear of brake failure. I was told by a gm rep that if module did go out that your brakes would still work. He stated that you would just have to use more foot pressure on brakes. It has now been over 90 days and I am requesting that this issue get resolved for all new car owners who have this recall. Gm is too large of a company to let this just linger as if its no big deal.
My factory wheel cracked in two places while traveling to the Corvettes at carlisle event. I have a little over 18000 miles on my car at this point. I have taken great care of my car and have not hit and rough potholes or obstacles in the road. I have not “tracked” my car either. I have read about many other Corvette z06 and grand sport owners who have suffered the same cracked and bent rim issues with the stock gm supplied wheels. Apparently the wheels are faulty as reported by hundreds of dissatisfied owners. The cracked wheels fail to hold air pressure causing a safety situation while driving at highway speeds. I understand that there is a current class action lawsuit in progress. I feel that gm should stand by their product and replace these inferior wheels with safer, more sturdy ones. . Especially for the price we paid for the vehicle. At this point, the consumers need the NHTSA to help us with this situation as gm has refused to accept any responsibility at this point. They blame the consumer’s driving habits as a reason for the issue…. Not the obvious faulting manufacturing of the wheel. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to hearing your response. Sincerely, doug sutor d. Sutor@comcast. Net.
