Consumer Description
At first I couldn’t get it out of Park sometimes. Then it became more frequent & finally it wouldn’t go into Reverse or Park from Drive. The only available gears were Neutral & Drive. My son had to come & disconnect the battery because it wouldn’t turn off all lights & accessories. Since it wouldn’t start in Neutral I had to have it towed to my Chevrolet Dealership. This car only has 34469 miles on it so I’m not understanding how this could be happening! As it has now sat in the repair yard since July 29, 2021 waiting on parts to fix the problem to the tune of $1300 I think GM should cover that cost. I have kept this car in excellent shape & am proud of it, I get many remarks on its beauty! There is no reason this should happen on a car with 34468 miles on it. I have since seen many forums where a lot of other Corvette owners have had the same issue! $1300 is just the cost to repair the car to get it started so they can perform the maintenance I had an appointment for in the first place!
