Corvette 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
The steering wheel would lock after leaving the vehicle idling for a period of three to five minutes. When placing the key in the ignition, the warning indicator suggested taking the key out and try again in ten seconds. The dealer made some repairs to the steering column, but the problem still occurred. Other problems are as followed: The right window leaked water where the top meets the windshield(badly), the rear differential area leaked fluid when sat overnight, there was a rattling noise underneath the vehicle due to the transmission cooler liners being misadjusted, there was a rattle in the engine when accelerated up a hill or when taking off, the driver door leaked when it rained and scrapes when rolled down, there was a grinding in the rear end when backed up or when it's cold, the right door glass rattled while the vehicle was in motion, and the wipers were inoperative. The convertible top was replaced. The fog lamp was replaced and the spoiler was loose.
