2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 Complaints

VEHICLE HAS A REALLY INTENSE SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE CABIN WHEN CARS PARKED OR IN DRIVE.

THE HEAD ISSUE VALVE GUIDE ON THE HEADS WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF SPEC....HAVE REPAIRED CAR TWICE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE '.

THE LAST 2 DAYS WHEN I DRIVE AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS (LOW BEAMS) SHUT OFF. I SWITCH TO THE HIGH BEAMS AND THEY WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE DARK AND IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS ABOUT 30 OR 40 MINUTES AFTER DRIVING THE CAR. I LET THE CAR SIT FOR 4 OR 5 HOURS AND THEN COME BACK AND THEY START WORKING. IT IS THE UNDERHOOD BUSSED ELECTRICAL CENTER (UBEC) HOUSING I SUSPECT.

DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. EXHAUST VALVE DESIGN CAUSES EAR THAT EVENTUALLY BREAKS EXHAUST VALVE AND DESTROYS ENGINE. EXHAUST VALVE LOOSE ENOUGH TO BREAK AND CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE, POSSIBLE FIRE AND/OR FLAMMABLE FLUID LEAKAGE. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=WTOA3VLGOES

VEHICLE IS ALWAYS STATIONARY WHEN IT GETS STUCK IN PARK, AND UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. I LET IT SET FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN PUSH START AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT WILL SHIFT INTO GEAR AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT. 50/50 CHANCE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I INHERITED THIS VEHICLE FROM MY FATHER IN EARLY 2017 WITH 48,000 MILES ON IT. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY 03/09/2018 VEHICLE DOES NOT GO INTO PARK BUT IS "STUCK" IN NEUTRAL, DOES NOT GO INTO PARK OR ANY OTHER GEAR.

2007 CEHVROLET CORVETTE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A GAS TANK LEAK. *LD THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THE MANUFACTURER'S TO COVER THE REPAIR COST. *JS

MY 10,000 MILE 2007 HEADS ARE AT AHP FOR REBUILDING. THEY REPORTED BACK THAT 1 EXHAUST AND 3 INTAKE GUIDES WERE WORN PAST THE SERVICE LIMIT. SEVERAL OTHERS WERE CLOSE OR AT THE LIMIT.

'TAKATA RECALL' JUST BOUGHT A 2007 Z06 CORVETTE AND LATELY I'VE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VALVE STEMS BREAKING AND CAUSING CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILTURE CAUSING THE POWER STEERING AND BREAKS TO FAIL SO NOW I HAVE TO PAY 5000.00 + TO GET IT SERVICED AND EVERY 10K MILES DO THE SAME THING BECAUSE THE VALVE STEM AND GUIDES GET HOT AND START TO WIGGLE

AT 65MPH, DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR MADE A HORRENDOUS LOUD CLATTERING SOUND AND THE MOTOR LOCKED UP. PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO SEE OIL POURING OUT THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE BLOCK, WHERE THE VALVE WAS SPIT OUT - CAUSING A HUGE HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE MOTOR

MY 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 DROPED A VALVE WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME. I WAS ON A REGULAR 45MPH SPEED LIMIT ROAD IN TRAFFIC WHEN I REALIZED THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER AND QUICKLY PULLED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE THERE WERE CARS IN FRONT AND BEHIND ME. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS HURT BUT IF I HAD BEEN ON A HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE LANE SOMEONE COULD HAVE LOST THEIR LIFE INCLUDING ME. FROM THE SECOND I REALIZED THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER TO THE POINT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WAS A MATTER OF 5 SECONDS MAYBE. AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND OUT THERE IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH VALVE GUIDES BEING OUT OF SPEC IN THIS MODEL CORVETTE.
