Owners have filed 79 complaints
about the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette with NHTSA between 2014 and 2025.
The largest single group is the fuel & propulsion.
Across this model's run it ranks 14 of 33 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 21
Against the median year of the Chevrolet Corvette. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 65
12.7% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 100
86% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

NHTSA investigations into the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants.

Recalls on the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse and Chevrolet Spark EV, Caprice PPV and SS vehicles, 2014-2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, Trax, Suburban and Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles, and 2015-2017 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles. While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.
Risk: A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.

SUSPENSION:REAR:SHOCK ABSORBER
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured February 12, 2014, to March 14, 2014. Due to an improper weld on the rear shock absorbers, the shock absorber tubes may separate from the shock absorber clevis brackets resulting in a sudden change in vehicle handling.
Risk: A sudden change in vehicle handling increases the risk of a crash.

AIR BAGS
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured November 20, 2013, to March 25, 2014, and equipped with optional sport seats. The seats do not meet internal specifications for injury protection in relation to an unbelted young child.
Risk: In the event of a crash necessitating side impact air bag deployment, an unbelted young child may be at an increased risk of neck injury.
14V299000
AIR BAGS
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles manufactured April 23, 2014 to April 25, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) may experience an internal short circuit, resulting in the deactivation of the air bags and seat belt pretensioners.
Risk: If the SDM short circuits, the air bags may not deploy and the seat belt pretensioners may not activate in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 2016439362,263 units in Canada
Airbag
On certain vehicles, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM), which controls airbag and pretensioner deployment, contains a software defect which may prevent the deployment of frontal airbags and pretensioners in certain circumstances. Failure of frontal airbags and seatbelt pretensioners to deploy in a crash (when warranted) could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will reflash the SDM with new software. In vehicles with any previous deployment events recorded in the SDM, the dealers will replace the existing SDM with a new SDM containing the latest software. Note: This recall affects 2014-2017 model year Sierra LD/Silverado LD models and 2015-2016 model year Sierra HD/Silverado HD model vehicles.
Recall 201425333 units in Canada
Suspension
On certain vehicles, an improper weld on the rear shock absorbers may lead to separation of the shock absorber tube from the shock absorber clevis bracket. If such a separation was to occur, a sudden change of vehicle handling behaviour would result that may startle drivers, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace both rear shock absorbers.
Recall 201424061 units in Canada
Airbag
Certain vehicles equipped with optional sport seats may pose a greater risk of neck injury for small children who are unbelted, out-of-position, and leaning against the side airbag in the event of a crash involving a side airbag deployment. Note: Drivers should not allow a small child to sit in the passenger seat until recall repairs are completed. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger side airbag.
Recall 20142153 units in Canada
Airbag
On certain vehicles, an internal fault in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module may set a diagnostic trouble code, illuminating the airbag warning lamp and disabling the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners. The occupant sensing passenger airbag light would also not illuminate. This could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the Sensing and Diagnostic Module.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Known Fuel Tank crack GM Memo "Special Coverage Adjustment 17469 Fuel Leaks at the Primary Fuel Pump Module Flange", whose previous warranty extension has expired and shouldn't be! GM assumes no responsibility for notifying vehicle owners who purchased used vehicles from non-dealers, which is what I did. I never received any notices about this leak from them since 2018, when I bought the vehicle used from a non-GM dealer. I just recently discovered the leak and had it repaired for $ 5,300.00. I had been driving a vehicle that could have exploded for over 7 years and did not know it. There must be others who are still driving these without knowing. Below is my request to GM to reconsider their 'not covered' response to my email. I suggest that a known Special Coverage Adjustment 17469 Fuel Leaks at the Primary Fuel Pump Module Flange of the gas tank is a life-threatening issue and should never expire! Especially, since many of us bought these vehicles used, 2018 in my case, and have NEVER received any notifications from dealers or GM about this issue. How many others are still outstanding and could blow someone up? The pictures below were taken at my Watson Chevrolet dealer in Tucson, AZ this month, which shows that the crack is exactly what was outlined in your publication 17469, that I never received. Total bill was $5,330.89 (copy attached). I am asking GM to reimburse me for this horrible adventure, not to mention the danger that I've been in for these many years. While I should have detected this issue sooner, how was I to know? I finally gave a friend a ride who said she smelled a really bad gas odor, which led me to the dealer! Now, GM says "you're too late" for us to cover our known defect? Again, this is a life-threatening issue, and your warranty should never expire!

EQUIPMENT
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette equipped with Silver's North America NEOMAX coil-overs. The contact stated that while driving through a parking garage at less than 10 MPH, there was an abnormal popping sound coming from the vehicle after driving over a speed bump. The rear driver’s side of the vehicle lowered as the subframe detached from the vehicle. Due to the failure the vehicle remained stuck in the parking garage because the vehicle could not be towed out of the parking garage. The contact also stated that the vehicle could not be moved without causing further damage to it. The contact stated that the vehicle became an obstruction to the other motorist entering the parking garage. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and an agent attempted to assist the contact; however, the agent stated that any attempts to move the vehicle could be dangerous and cause more damage to the vehicle. The part was not yet replaced. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.

STEERING
The electric power-steering assist is failing while my vehicle is in motion. I lose power steering and have to use significantly more effort and may lead to a crash, at any speeds. I was driving on the highway when this happened, although it has happened at slower, neighborhood speeds. When this happens, I see a warning message on the dashboard stating the power-steering assist failed and service power steering, drive with caution and the steering is all non-power steering. At times, when I stop the car, and turn the power off, and re-start the car, the power steering works again for a short period of time, and then fails again. This is extremely dangerous. I cannot find any recalls on my car VIN # for this issue for the 2014 Corvette, but see the exact symptoms for the 2017 Corvette (GM' number for this recall is N182182760). Help....please!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Earlier in the year I called GM about getting my Navigation updated. I ask when the next update would made current. I was told it would probably be in May. I decided to wait until then and it would be more accurate. When I called, they told me that GM had decided not to furnish a new update. I then tried to order one for last year and they could not update that either. I was willing to pay for it. With all the changes in highway's, it is dangerous to try to use it. They sold me the navigation and then made it obsolete. They did Bluetooth the radio but not the navigation. This is a safety hazard, and I feel the least they could do is charge me for the update and furnish it. It is still accurate except for new streets and there are a lot of changes. Help!

The vehicle fails to keep the engine cool when idling or traveling at low speeds and in low gears. When at a stop light, the engine temperature quickly increases to unsafe temperatures, and has even had to be shut off and went up in steam from the engine. Coolant level was and is still full. I believe the cooling fans fail to stay on, maybe due to being turned off on the highways, and therefore fail to turn back on after exiting the highway.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
In November 2021, upon smelling gasoline in my garage I discovered fuel leaking from the left rear side of the vehicle. I brought the car to the Van Chevrolet dealer in Scottsdale, AZ who claimed that no recall or extended warranty was available for the vehicle. In October 2016, I received a notice from Chevrolet that my car could develop cracks in the fuel tank and to NOT take it to a dealer until the crack manifested itself. The notice Enclosure 16009 is already posted on NHTSA: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10130604-9999.pdf The dealer advised that the notice had expired and I need to cover the repair out of pocket. This is a blatant safety issue with leaking fuel and the car is undrivable and is a danger to me and others. No warning lamps or messages appeared prior to the failure.
