C8 Z06 Corvette Owner Furious About Repeated Failures

This guy wants GM to do the right thing.

Even though the C8 Corvette has been hailed as a roaring success for GM, and it definitely has been, not everyone is happy. Some owners of C8 Stingrays and Z06s claim catastrophic engine or transmission failure of no fault of their own has put them in a bad spot. While the automaker has stepped up in some of these cases and even replaced the sports cars, one C8 Corvette Z06 owner was furious enough about a lack of response to his continuing problems that he posted online the letter he sent to Mary Barra, CEO of GM.

Watch a guy crash his rental C8 Corvette.

Posted to Corvette Forum August 9 is the letter user C8gofast claims he sent to Barra via certified service weeks before. In it he details out the troubles with not only his Stingray but also his C8 Z06. The guy claims to be a driving instructor at Barber’s Motorsports Park and Road Atlanta, plus he professionally raced Corvettes for over 20 years, so he’s not just some schmuck who doesn’t know how to treat cars properly. He also is a longtime Corvette owner, stating he’s had nine of them, and is a big fan of America’s sports car.
