What the Complaint Data Suggests

Editorial interpretation of NHTSA public complaint data. Source: nhtsa.gov. Complaints are owner-submitted and do not confirm a defect. Methodology

With only 10 complaints across one model year, data is limited and confidence is low. Seat-related issues lead the complaints, followed by brake, transmission, engine, and other systems. Three recalls indicate potential safety concerns that should be checked before purchase.

Year context: Compared to other Corvette years with more data, the 2025 shows a low complaint count but also low confidence, making direct comparisons unreliable.

Recall context: Three recalls mean you must verify all open recalls are completed before purchase, as they may affect safety systems.

Key Findings
  • Seat-related issues account for 2 of 10 complaints, the highest category.
  • Brake system, transmission/drivetrain, engine, fuel system, and wheel issues each have 1 complaint.
  • No crash-related complaints were reported, but data volume is low.
Top Concerns
  • Seat-Related Issues (2 complaints)
  • Brake System (1 complaint)
  • Transmission / Drivetrain (1 complaint)
Data note: NHTSA complaints are consumer-submitted and do not confirm a manufacturing defect. Only 10 complaints for one model year provide low confidence in identifying systemic issues.
