NHTSA Complaint #10716800 — 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

ANY QUICK SEARCH OF THE WEB WILL SHOW THAT THIS CAR ENGINE, THE LS2 OR 6.2 L ENGINE HAS HAD A DEFECT THAT GM HAS DENIED OVER THE YEARS AND FAILS TO STAND BEHIND AFTER WARRANTY; CRANK SHAFT PULLEY WOBBLE AND WORN RUBBER GASKETS ON THE HARMONIC BALANCER OF THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. TECH BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED AND THIS TOPIC OF PULLEY WOBBLE AND RUBBER GASKET FAILURE AND IS QUITE THE TALK ON VARIOUS CORVETTE FORUMS. SINCE I AM WELL BEHIND WARRANTY, I HAD TO HAVE THIS DIAGNOSED THROUGH MY LICENSED CERTIFIED AUTO MECHANIC. THIS REPAIR REQUIRES EXTENSIVE LABOR TIME TO REPAIR. SCARED TO SEE THE BILL TOMORROW. GM'S RESPONSE IS I SHOULD OF TAKEN IT TO AN AUTHORIZED CHEVY DEALER. THAT IS HOG WASH BECAUSE SHOULD I HAD DONE THAT, I WOULD PROBABLY STILL HAD TO PAY THEIR EXORBITANT LABOR COSTS AND STILL NOT BE COVERED ON THIS SERIOUS ENGINE DEFECT. IN FACT, I BELIEVE GM HAS RE-DESIGNED THE PART SO WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU. FAILURE TO FIX WILL JUST HARM THE ENGINE FOR THE FUTURE AND REPLACE BELT AFTER BELT WHEN THE TRUE PROBLEM IS IGNORED BY GM
