Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The rear window in the 2007 chevrolet corvette has a design flaw and causes distortion to the point it makes one dizzy when looking through the rear view mirror. the window has been replaced twice by the dealership, however they state they will no longer do anything any more about it. this distortion is found in all of the corvettes at the dealership, the regional manager looked at them and has said they will not do anything more, as it appears it is the problem lies in the design. no where in the owner's manual, advertisements, or such does it list this vehicle has a distorted rear window due to it being curved. when driving this vehicle and looking in the rear view mirror, one can not identify vehicles or how close they are to my car and i have almost had several accidents with this car due to the problem. one can not look through the rear view mirror through the rear window, for any length of time before dizziness and headaches occur. this is a safety issue and needs to be addressed immediately. at night the glare of headlights make it even worse. there are many other curved windows that do not have the distortion. *tr
