| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving my 2006 chevrolet corvette at around 50 mph, and the painted roof separated from the frame. i immediately pulled over and took the roof off, and went to the chevy dealership. they informed me there was a recall, but it was usually a voluntary recall for you to go in and have it inspected, and if it checked out to be bad, they would fix it. the dealership informed me that they couldn't get a roof panel for this car for 20-30 days and that they would give me loaner and i could leave the car there. i am out of town on business, and will not be here for 20- 30 days, and my opinion would be that if the dealers know there is a recall, there should be plenty of panels available if the roof is under recall. i also believe they should replace all these panels on all vin numbers affected. the roof panel coming loose and flying off and either damaging my vehicle, or even worse, causing a loss of life to someone in the vehicle behind me would be tragic. chevrolet should own up to their errors and fix the problem properly, not by repairing the panels that were defective. they should be replaced. *nm |
