Attempted to start my Corvette. My Corvette was in the my garage Battery was dead. Called for a jump start. When mechanic arrived, I got into the driver's seat. When he applied electric power to the car battery, interior lights flickered, radio came on, tach needle and other needles cycled and my electric power adjustable seat went full forward and the electric power adjustable steering wheel went full down. This happened in seconds. The engine was not running. I thought I was going to be crushed by the steering wheel. I have a small frame. If I were a bigger person, I would have sustained a crushing chest injury or death. With the seat full forward and the steering wheel full down with great difficult I wiggled my way out of my Corvette. My Corvette is scheduled for diagnostic / repair on 11 Apr 23 at Criswell Chevrolet in Thurmont, MD. I have notified GM customer support and provided this narrative to them on 6 Apr 23.

My 2016 Corvette with 13000 + miles has been in the shop with the ' service rear axle light ' on despite several attempts to fix it. After several trips to the service department they have been unsuccessful. This past week, I was notified by (service supervisor) that they have exhausted all efforts in the attempt to fix my car. I now have to wait for an engineer to be dispatched physically to look into this issue. According to service supervisor, this can take several weeks. I have looked at the internet and have found several Corvette owners having/ experiencing the same problem. Is GM looking into this " does GM know what the problem is so they can share it here locally ? why cant my local dealership fix my problem despite working with GM engineers? what are my options" this light seems to come on on first starts or after being off for hours.

Veh purchased 9/2015 and so far I have replace four rear rims and one front. All have hair line cracks on the inside of rim causing radical air loss, vibration and tire wear. Navigation screen flickers and goes on and off at least two times a week and I have to open and close to restart screen. Blower motor went out at 37K miles and the transmission is bucking, vibrating, shuddering and going into 5th gear at 31mph and feels like it is hanging up in 5th gear the clunks down to first at 10mph. Went to dealer, they claimed they did a software up date and things are fine. Left the dealership and came back 5 min later with same issue. Took service manager for a ride and he confirmed the horrible ride. Have to take back on Tuesday 5/28 and it feels like the drive shaft or rear end will fall out. They said it was fine. I hope nothing happens to me or the car.
