NHTSA Complaint #707691 — 1999 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

THIS "LUXURY" VEHICLE THAT I PURCHASED WITH ONLY 48 MILES ON IT BRAND NEW IN OCTOBER OF 1998 FIRST BROKE DOWN ON DECEMBER 17, 1998. SINCE DECEMBER 19, 1998 MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN OFF THE ROAD 42 DAYS AND IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH 15 REPAIR ORDERS ALL ON THE COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP NOW TELLS ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO FOR ME I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CHEVROLET CORPORATION AND WAS ADVISED TO RETAIN LEGAL COUNSEL. MY SITUATION MEETS TWO-FOLD THE NORTH CAROLINA LEMON LAW REQUIREMENTS. THE GAS NEEDLE MOVES DOWN TO PAST THE EMPTY MARK AND THE COMPUTER SOUNDS ITS WARNING SIGNAL , THE COMPUTER READ LOW FUEL, LIMITED HANDLING, ALSO THE COMPUTER READS MY RIGHT REAR TIRE AS BEING FLAT AND SOUNDS ITS ALARM WHILE DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE SENDS FALSE SIGNALS. ONE DAY AFTER ONLY HAVING HAD PURCHASED IT FOR 6 MONTHS IT WOULDN'T EVEN START IN A SHOPPING LOT. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ON THE INTERSTATE, ESPECIALLY AS A FEMALE. *AK
