Chevrolet Corvette stalling problems

Filed Oct 6, 2026 · Electrical · FL

My Onstar feature does not work at all. So there is no emergency notification in the event of an accident. The dealer ordered the module to repair the problem but GM keeps canceling the order. There has been reports of the engine stalling, I have not experienced that yet so I do not drive the vehicle much for that reason.

We were driving 55 and the car stalled. This has happened several times. Been at dealer and the codes show fine they replaced what they thought was issue and it still does this. Very scary

Something is wrong where it will stall out when you start driving. Soon as I put the car in gear and start rolling forward it dies. And I’ve looked online and it’s quite common.

On Wednesday March 16, I was driving my 2022 C8 Corvette with only 450 miles on it. I stopped a red light and the car stalled out. I didn't think anything of it and push to start it up again and it started as i continued to drive I approached another red light and as I stopped at it the car shut off and again and wouldn't start back up, as I pushed the start button I smelled smoke and I stop trying to start the car. Oil pressure gauge was reading 0 pressure and flashing red. A notification came across the dash board indicating engine failure and also was notified by my app on my cell phone that the engine failed. Tow truck driver couldn't put the car in neutral due to the vehicle not starting, having to drag onto the flatbed for towing back to dealer

I have owned this 2001 corvette since it was new it has less than 7000 miles on it.on friday may 8th 2020 I had to have it towed to the dealer century chevrolet in broomfield colorado.the service column lock is on at the dash and I cannot turn the steering wheel and if you try to drive it the vehicle will stall.I had recall 04006 performed on the car on 10/25/2004 with 1912 miles on it and this was a reprogramming of the PCM.I have since learned there has been 2-3 updates for this condition and there is a recall 04006c and special policy #05081 for a new wiring harness to be installed to correct this condition.I was never contacted by gm about this and feel I should not have to pay for a defect they know about! The vehicle was towed out of my garage /driveway we had to push it out of the garage onto a tow truck and it is currently at the dealership waiting to here what they are going to do. I don't think they are going to offer any help nor did they want to pickup the tow charges and add it to the bill. Regardless I have to fix the vehicle as it does me no good the way it is.with this said the original fix of the recall did not fix the vehicle and the now known fix should be done at no charge to the consumer/customer.this vehicle is in mint condition and has not been modified in any way and taken care of like new since owned. I am reaching out to you because the right thing needs to happen and gm should accept responsibility for there actions and knowingly that there is a defect. I am lucky I was not driving this vehicle as I was planning on driving the morning this happened as I could of killed myself or someone else.
