The transmission shifter lock starts to sporadically not release keeping transmission in park (online many say this is a very common problem for 2005-08s, maybe more years), this could strand someone.

Vehicle starts but will not shift out of park with foot on brake. Eventually after repeated attempts or leaving vehicle for a little while, re-try and issue goes away. Issue happens randomly and cannot be replicated easily.

Automatic shift lever locked in park while out shopping at a mall. Corvette will not come out of park, I see this is a issue with all the c6 corvettes. This should be a recall fix for these corvettes

Frequently unable to shift out of park once the car is started. Shift interlock solenoid seems to be faulty. Vehicle is always stationary in a parking space. Sometimes I turn it off and try again and it works. Very annoying.

Unable to ship automatic transmission from park to drive after starting vehicle. Happens intermittently. Sometimes I must use over ride system to shift to neutral, start the vehicle, then shift into drive. This allows the vehicle to roll before even starting it. Someone could get hit and injured. This happens whether on level surface or inclined surface. This appears to be a failure in the transmission neutral safety system.

Took the car in for a chatter noise at idle and when stationary. I'm told that the torque tube needs to be replaced, the car only has 27,000 miles and it seems that this is a very dangerous thing to have happen if it fails why you are driving it and it causes major damage to the rest of the drive train. It is a major part of the drive train and an obvious defect with the corvettes as noted in the forums. A recall is in order and chevorlet needs to step up to the plate and repair these to make this car safer before some one is seriously injured. The repair is very expensive at around 3,000. A repair that should never need to be done on a low mileage car.
