Shifter assembly does not operate properly. The shifter locks and will not move from park to reverse or neutral or drive. Therefore, the car is inoperable. Many suggestions are to override such lockout mechanism however this creates a major safety issue. The car was at dealership, and they could not resolve problem, nor could they locate a replacement shifter assembly. I believe GM-€™s lack of providing parts, TSB or other remediations for this well-known issue will result in owners creating an unsafe vehicle and overriding the safety lockout that is not working. Therefore, I strongly would like NHTSA to launch an investigation.

As of December 2018, all cars with navigation systems that have an incorporated clock, clocks stopped working, the reason is supposably due to a change in the government satellite technology. So there is no way to correct this without a software fix, this problem is not only on the 2006 Corvette, but many other cars as well

My automatic shifter jammed in the D location and would only go to neutral and would not go into reverse or park, and the doors would not open with the button, this shifter has jammed in park in the past. This car only has 26K miles on it. And is not driven in bad weather. Not a good feeling to be traped in your car.

After car purchase, on multiple occasions while turning right at very slow speeds the steering wheel would almost lock-up and the brakes would apply and kind of pump themselves and the the service "traction control system " light would come on.once during a rt. Turn on a green arrow it happened and the car behind me almost hit me because the car almost stopped during the turn.I had the same problem with an 05 Corvette only not as bad. The problem has happened 5 or 6 times since I bought the car, in varying degrees. I bought the car used as is or I would have returned it to the dealer since I'm sure they knew about the problem. I took it and had the car fixed. It cost me $371. The repair shop found theabs & traction control sensor and steering angle sensor not working right and replaced them. Only 30000 miles !!

The harmonic damper on 2006 Corvette with LS2 engine failed resulting in power steering drive belt coming off pulley causing loss of power steering. The high effort required to steer vehicle almost resulted in crash. This harmonic damper issue is documented in numerous internet forums and is believed to be a widespread issue that should be recalled and corrected by the manufacturer.

2006 Corvette coupe, roof delaminating, dealer took car and is holding indefinitely, GM won't act any faster, won't issue a glass roof until new roofs come in. I was told I can't have my car until new roof arrives and they don't know when that is.
