From 1965 the Corvette used four-wheel disc brakes with four-piston calipers. Over time, moisture in the brake fluid pits the caliper bores and the seals start leaking. A common fix is rebuilding the calipers with stainless steel sleeves, which resist pitting.

Some C7 Z06 owners, especially with early cars on hot days, report the car reducing power or showing high temperature warnings after a few hard laps. The supercharged LT4 creates a lot of heat. GM made changes to later cars, and the aftermarket offers cooling upgrades.

Some C6 manual owners report the clutch pedal staying on or near the floor after high-RPM shifts, usually during spirited driving or on track. It's commonly linked to the clutch hydraulic system, with heat and aged fluid often blamed.

Many 2015–2019 C7 owners with the 8-speed 8L90 automatic report a shudder or vibration at light throttle, often felt like driving over rumble strips. GM issued service information related to the transmission fluid. Ask a dealer to check your VIN.

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.
