Consumer Description

AFTER MONTHS OF READING ABOUT THE EXHAUST VALVE ISSUE WITH CORVETTE Z06S I TOOK MY CAR AND HAD THE HEADS CHECKED. THE SHOP FOUND THE VALVE GUIDE CLEARANCE TO BE OUTSIDE THE SPECIFIED ACCEPTABLE RANGE. THE DEFECT PUTS UNDUE STRESS ON THE SODIUM FILLED VALVES AND IF THE VALVE FAILS IT CAN CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION IF THIS OCCURS AT SPEED ON THE ROADWAY AS THE DRIVER WILL LOSE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE POTENTIALLY CAUSING A DEADLY ACCIDENT. I PAID SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS ISSUE DESPITE GM ACKNOWLEDGING THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES.
