Our less than 2 month old 08 base, auto, vette has lost power 3 times driving up the hill to our home in almost the same exact spot. First time we had the car a week. 2nd time 2 weeks! 3rd time the first time we tried to drive it up the hill after it was in the shop for 6 more days! We had the car towed the first 2 times. The 3rd time my husband turned around and limped the car back to the dealer. The dealer says it is the gas. We use Chevron Texaco only. One of the sales people suggested that someone at the dealer where we bought the vette did something to the car! The dealer has now put some kind of monitor in the car for when the next time it happens we are to push the button so they can record what is going on. First time engine light came on. 2nd and 3rd time no engine light. On the hill, it drops from 45 to 10 and goes all the way down to 1st gear. The RPM goes up and down. The incline of the hill is 3000 to 6500 in 11 miles. The hill is smooth and we are on it for 5 miles before it happens. Oh and the roof creaks horribly especially on the drivers side as we drive down the hill from 6800 to 3000. It is very annoying. Does anyone have a clue as to what could be happening? We would appreciate any help. We have not taken it to the Vegas dealer where we bought it as it is a long distance from our home in AZ. We have been taking it to the local Chevy dealer here in Kingman AZ. And yes I am jodenessky who had so much trouble with my 08 Skys brakes. I have no luck with new cars!

I have never experienced anything like what you are describing – nor have I read about anything similar, and I have monitored the largest “Corvette-focused” forum for over 3 years. Good luck, and please post the resolution? Regarding the noisy roof – there is a TSB: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1554872&highlight=roof+tsb But I would not let a Dealer do what is described. I did the fix described here – and it reduced the noise on my 2007’s top by over 95%: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1956846&highlight=noise+top Good luck. - Ray Happy to have a Chevy dealer nearby with a good ‘Vette Tech. |

Replying to: jodenessky (Jun 30, 2008 12:11 pm) The Corvette gas tank is a complex arrangement. It is a split, two-tank system, with I think 3 fuel pumps in it, to move gas between the tanks and to the engine. This system has had some reported problems. Usually they seem to be failure in the guage display (caused by components inside the tanks), and also failures that will shut the car down completely. |

Hi all, I have been troubleshooting the wipers on my '68 coupe for a long time and have replaced many parts. I have the wipers working and the wiper door responds to the override under the dash. My problem is that the wiper switch has no effect on turning the wipers on and off and the door wants to close on the running wipers unless I override the door. I control the wipers by the override under the dash. They are on unless I override. Just on and off, no two speed. The vacuum hoses are correct, I have a new wiper relay under the center console, the vacuum valve in the right fender is new, the hoses are new and I have good vacuum. The up switch on the wiper door works and the linkage for the wipers and door is intact. So, the problem is the wipers will not work with the dash mounted switch, will not park, and the door will close on them while they are running if I don't override. I suspect the wiper motor curcuitry. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks. |

It, along with a cam arrangement, controls the 'park' feature. You may need this relay, or may need an entire new wiper motor. You also need a factory service manual to help with your work on this.

Replying to: bolivar (Jul 06, 2008 6:02 pm) Must be me but I can't find a C3 section under Chevrolet Corvette. I could find the C6 topic but that is different from this one. Have you mistaken a Corvette forum with Edmunds?
