This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The electric power-steering assist is failing while the vehicle is in motion. I lose power steering and have to use more effort to maintain the steering direction. This happens unexpectedly, and may lead to a crash, at any speeds. I was driving on the highway when this happened. When this happens, I see a warning message on the dashboard stating the power-steering assist failed, drive with caution and the steering is all 'non-power steering'. when I stop the car, and turn the power off, and re-start the car, the power steering works again for a short period of time, and then fails again. This is extremely dangerous. I cannot find any recalls on my car VIN # for this issue, however, I do see a NHTSA campaign number: 19V086. GM's own number for this recall is N182182760 on other GM vehicles with this same dangerous issue.
There are already a few reports on the skipping and hopping at low speeds when the wheels are locked all the way left or right while turning. I experienced this on delivery and have owned the car for 9 months. Since the cold weather has arrived the issue has gotten even more severe, like the front end is going to fall off. Chevrolet will not admit to this problem/issue but it is a generally know issue related to the "ackerman" effect. Motortrend identified it and resorted to saying the 2014 Corvette is no parking lot car. Chevrolet still has no comment. Had I known about this I personally would not have bought the vehicle. In my opinion Chevrolet has a fiduciary responsibility to make the buyer aware. Also, if you see some of the blogs on Corvettes it is also acknowledged there. I have been to the dealer about it and they are clueless. They gave me an explanation that didn't hold water to me and they even drove the car and duplicated the movement. I have now asked for a face to face with the factory rep.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the front of the vehicle started shaking violently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer stated that the vehicle was working up to standards. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 348.
