The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette coupe with the 1lt trim package does not comply with the 20 degree minimum horizontal field of view requirement as outlined in us dot tp-111V-01. The interior rear view mirror is essentially useless given the small size of the rear hatch glass. Please note that the 1lt trim package does not include the camera augmented rear view mirror found in the 2lt and 3lt trim packages.

I just got my 2020 Corvette delivered last week. I am the first owner of the car and today I was driving up pch towards Malibu. Went up to 80-90 mph at times. Drove for about 100 miles. I stopped to get something to eat. Got back in my car and proceeded up the canyons for some spirited driving. The car is already broken in at 1300 miles. I decided to pull off the road to take some pictures of the car. I put the car in park with the parking brake on and left the engine running with the key fob in the cupholder. After I got the shots I wanted, I proceeded to drive down the canyon and within 15 seconds I heard the front hood latch click/thump (same sound you hear when you press the button to pop the hood) right before I saw the hood fly up and heard a snap. Sudden loss of visibility almost caused my car to go off the cliff as I couldn't see the turn. Luckily I was able to stop the car before going off the road. The hood did not hit my front windshield, but there is severe hinge damage as well as damage to both fenders and the front hood. I had my windows down and my roof off, did not have the radio on and it was quiet road. There were no warning lights that the hood latch was open/disengaged. Even when the hood flew up, there was no indicator light or beeping. I put the hood back down as carefully as I could.I had no choice but to try my best to close the hood since I was in an area with no reception in order to keep driving. In the closed position, the hood is now about 3/4 to 1 inch lower than each fender. Super paranoid I tried to drive as slowly as I can home, but I did reach speed up to 55 mph. Thankfully it did not happen again. GM spokesperson blames it on user error. I guarantee you guys this is not user error

While driving at a prudent speed the hood of my vehicle opened with some damage to the hood(sprung hinges) and body damage. I got a signal that the hood was open and then the hood sprung open. I was driving at 35-40 mph at the time and came to a stop in a prudent manner.(no visibility)
