2014 C7 Common Problems

Many C7 owners, especially with wide-body Z06 and Grand Sport cars, report cracked or bent factory cast wheels, often after potholes. Cracks are usually on the inside barrel, out of sight. Low-profile tires and big wheels leave little cushion.

Reported less often than on wide-body cars.

C5, C6 and C7 Corvettes use sealed hub bearing assemblies. They wear over time, especially with wide tires, track use or impacts. A failing hub causes a hum or growl that changes with speed and cornering.

From the C4 onward, Corvettes have many electronic modules that draw small amounts of power with the car off. Add aging batteries, aftermarket accessories, or a module that doesn't go to sleep, and the battery can go flat in days or weeks. Storage without a maintainer is the most common cause.
