2007 Chevrolet Corvette body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Popping noises coming from roof panel at low rate of speed as well as fast rate. Recall # 090230 found via internet. Dealership as well as gm both notified. They both stated that this VIN # was not included in the recall. Recall states 2005-2007 corvette roof panel recall. Apparently other VIN #'s should be included in this recall to avoid possible injury or fatalities from roof panels that fly off.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet corvette. While driving approximately 70 MPH, the removable roof would continuously pop and there was also excessive movement. The contact located a recall for the failure under the federal safety agency campaign id number: 09v491000 (structure: body: roof and pillars) but was advised by the dealer and the manufacturer that his VIN was not included. The manufactured advised that they would claim the liability for the diagnostic fee. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000 and the current mileage was 12,000.
Was driving 45 down highway and the top for my 2007 corvette coupe started came off. It broke off one of the latches, before I could grab it and unlatch them both to bring into the car. The top then broke the back latch and flew off onto highway street. No vehicles were on the road at the time other than mine thankfully. Currently looking to have top replaced.
I recently purchased a used 2007 corvette with targa top. The targa top makes a snapping noise as described in the federal safety agency recall information. There is a loud snapping noise made when closing doors, engaging in gear, and especially loud when going over bumps of any kind. Cheverlot states that my VIN, even though a 2007 with the targa top making the loud snapping noise, is not covered in the recall.
Snapping sounds coming from the glass roof of my 2007 model year chevrolet corvette, purchased in august of 2006. Especially noticeable in temperature changes and rough road surfaces. Recall already in progress for 2005-2007 model year, but my car is not included as told to me by gm representative. I can have the car diagnosed by chevy, but at my cost. Cannot understand why my vehicle is not included in the recall, especially when it has the symptoms described in the recall information.
As I was driving away from my home to work, I was still on the main road of my community. The removable top of my 2007 corvette coupe flew off. This occurred on martin king's birthday celebration in 2009. I am glad it happened on this day since the number of vehicles were fewer due to school and government offices were closed. On jan 2010, I discovered that gm had a recall with the removable top. I have called gm and they have stated my car is not part of the recall. However before the top came off and now, I have the same problems as noted in the recall. My removable top makes noise as I drive over bumps and I hear wind noises when I drive.

The failure mileage was 15,000 and the current mileage was 19,000.
