Auto News: Corvette Z06 Class Action

Fourth Class Action Lawsuit Filed Over Corvette Z06s Going Into Limp Mode On Track

The current-generation Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is sold as a 650-horsepower supercharged track weapon, yet that hasn’t been the case for owners who have had the car go into limp mode on track. More Z06 owners have brought a fourth class-action lawsuit against General Motors over this issue, complete with claims that a 2017 redesign didn’t fix the problem.

The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District court Michigan by Hagens Berman, the same firm behind the first class-action lawsuit about the Corvette Z06's issues on track. As with previous lawsuits over this issue, the owners claim that a cooling system defect forces the car to go into limp mode after as little as 15 minutes of track use. read more »
