Consumer Description

CONCERNED ABOUT THE NUMBER OF DROPPED VALVES IN THE LS7 ENGINE USED IN THE CORVETTE Z06 THAT MAY RESULT IN A BLOWN ENGINE CAUSING A CRASH OR FIRE. I HAVE PRETTY MUCH PARKED MY 2008 Z06 DUE TO THIS CONCERN AS GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE ON PUBLIC USER FORUMS SHOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND GM SHOULD ADDRESS AND FIX. I URGE THE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN! *TR
