General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured August 20, 2014, to September 4, 2014. In the affected vehicles, only one of the rear parking brake cables may be fully seated and engaged, resulting in the parking brake only operating on one of the rear park brake drums. Without the parking brake working on both rear wheels, the vehicle may roll away if parked on a steep gradient. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
If the parking brake cable isn't fully seated and engaged on both of the rear park brake drums, the vehicle may roll away if parked on a steep gradient, increasing the risk of a crash.
AUTOMATIC 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 2000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER DUE TO HARD SHIFTS AND SHIFTING AUTOMATICALLY TO LOW GEAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS NEARLY BRINGING THE CAR TO A STOP IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC, NOW 700 MILES AND 4 MONTHS LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR AND YOU CANT DRIVE FAST ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. AND I KNOW OF SEVERAL OTHER CARS LIKE IT THAT HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY PROBLEM AND GM SEEMS TO IGNORE IT, PROBABLY UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED.
THE A8 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN THE 2015 CORVETTE IS PRONE TO OCCASIONAL HARD DOWNSHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS (LESS THAN 10 MPH). SOMETIMES THE DOWNSHIFTS ARE SO VIOLENT THAT THE CAR JERKS FORWARD SEVERAL FEET. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. THE UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR OF THE TRANSMISSION IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN PROXIMITY TO PEDESTRIANS OR OTHER VEHICLES.
AUTOMATIC A8 TRANSMISSION HAS THE FOLLOWING ISSUES: 1)MORNING SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE SEVERELY DELAYED, BANGS IN EVENTUALLY. 2) ERRATIC SHIFTING IN NORMAL TRAFFIC 3) THE 2-1 DOWNSHIFT WHEN COMING TO A STOP RESULTS IN SEVERE BANG, LURCHES FORWARD AND IS VERY UNSAFE IN A PARKING LOT SITUATION. ALSO IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, SAME LURCHING FORWARD. FEELS AS IF SOMEONE HIT YOU FROM BEHIND 4) TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKUP IN 5TH AND 6TH GEAR. DEALER TORE APART THE CAR TO REPLACE THE STATOR, PERFORMED SOFTWARE UPDATE - NEITHER SOLUTION WORKED.
