A 2023 Chevrolet Corvette, purchased from Chevrolet of Puente Hills in Los Angeles, California, quickly became a source of frustration for its owner due to persistent electrical and camera system issues. Despite multiple repair attempts at Fairway Chevrolet in Las Vegas, Nevada, the problems remained unresolved, leading the client to seek legal assistance under California’s Lemon Law.
Shortly after purchase, the Corvette exhibited recurring failures with the rearview and backup camera systems, as well as malfunctions in the electronic stability control system. The vehicle was brought in for service four times within the first year, with the client experiencing:
- Intermittent rearview camera failures
- Distorted backup camera images
- Erratic electronic stability control activation
- Infotainment screen freezing
The Corvette spent 73 days in service due to the transmission issue. It was brought in multiple times for repairs, and the most significant issue was the malfunctioning transmission. During the first service visit at 13,206 miles, diagnostic testing confirmed an internal transmission failure, with the active trouble codes P0797 and P0844.
The vehicle failed during the diagnostic tests, prompting the technician to note that the transmission fluid pressure sensor was malfunctioning, which led to the need for a full transmission replacement.
After replacing the transmission assembly and reprogramming the transmission control module, the issues continued. The vehicle was returned for further repair attempts, and despite additional service, the same problems persisted. In addition to the transmission issues, the rearview and backup cameras intermittently failed, displaying distorted images, and the infotainment screen continued to freeze. The electronic stability control system exhibited erratic behavior as well.
Given the severity of the ongoing issues—especially the transmission failure and unresolved electrical malfunctions—the owner sought legal assistance under California’s Lemon Law. After reviewing the case, it was clear that the vehicle qualified as a lemon, as the manufacturer had been unable to repair the same defects after multiple attempts.
