The oil pump on my friend's very-new C6 failed and he lost all oil pressure. After examining the motor, GM would only replace the caps and a few other bits--they would not replace his engine. We looked at the cylinders and the scoring was NOT typical, as GM claimed.
In the end after much haranguing he got them to pay for one month of his car payment and give him an extended warranty.
So there ya go. Along with that there are myriad squeaks and rattles from his center console, targa top and door panels. His center stack also seems to be slightly misaligned, with the edge on the driver side seeming to not be popped properly into place behind the dashboard. He's also experiencing the same problems that many other C6 owners have complained about where you somehow end up shifting into an imaginary third gear--you seem to get hung up on the syncros. Can't really explain that one as well as he does.
The newest Corvette is far from bulletproof.
