We recently purchased the car and it is a convertible and we cant get the top working at all.we took it where we purchased it and they don't have a clue how to fix it.this is the second thing that was wrong. We got the fuel pump leak repaired.we cant enjoy the car if the top doesn't work.it doesn't make sense to pay for something if you cant enjoy it.

My shift lever (A6) frequently locks on P. I need to change the transmission control shifter (2006-08 Corvette at (25913058) I am informed about the french and american forums and it is a very common flaw to the Corvette C6. Yet there have never been any reminders to correct this flaw. The infamous dash buzzing (windshield cowl) problem also, I have tremendous vibrations in the windscreen and this is part of the frequent flaws on the C6 Corvettes can be until the year 2010. My Corvette had 77600 km at the time of the facts can you help me for GM france to take care of these vehicle design flaws. Thank you the 1st phone number is not correct it is to validate my request I used google translate.

Brake-automatic transmission interlock often fails to allow shifting out of park. Brake light fuse & switch are operational. Transmission shift lever solenoid does not click/release when brake pedal is depressed. This results in a car that cannot be moved.

I have visited the dealership twice and going on the third time and they have failed/refused to fix the problem. This is in regards to a emission system recall. GM set up an appointment, I showed up and they gave me the run around and said they could not work on the car. Called GM and complained and set up a second appointment and I showed up again and after two hours was told to come back on another day as they could not loosen the bolts. The car is in new shape and garaged. This is a dealership. What an excuse. GM has been of no help and the dealership has failed/refused to do the recall work. I have tried and lost two days trying and going on three. Please help. I visited the dealership on Oct 17 and 31st.
