Fuel economy data from fueleconomy.gov (EPA / U.S. Dept. of Energy). Annual cost based on 15,000 mi/yr at 55% city driving and current fuel prices. MPG is U.S. gallons; L/100km converted.
With only ten complaints filed against the 2025 Corvette, no single system dominates, but the seat complaints draw the most reports. Owners describe two distinct seat-related issues: one involving a heated seat that reportedly burned through the seat material, with owners pointing to the wiring beneath the upholstery as the source, and another involving a strong chemical odor emanating from the seats that owners associate with headaches and respiratory irritation. A single report describes the brake pedal dropping several inches and going hard during a stop, with the vehicle continuing through an intersection. One owner reports transmission shuddering and lurching on takeoff from a dead stop, most noticeable in stop-and-go traffic, with the sensation described as an abrupt engagement or being struck from behind. A single report mentions water intrusion collecting under the vehicle and inside the doors.

By System
The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette has 4 recalls, the most serious being a fuel spill risk during refueling where excess fuel can overflow the filler pocket and contact hot engine or exhaust components, raising the risk of a fire.
The seatbelt system is also affected: the driver and passenger seatbelt retractors can lock in the stowed position, making the belts impossible to pull out and leaving occupants unrestrained in a crash. Two recalls address the same turn signal monitoring problem, where a software error prevents the car from detecting when a rear turn signal bulb has failed. The dashboard indicator continues to flash at its normal rate rather than signaling a problem, so the driver has no way of knowing the turn signal is not visible to other drivers.

A software problem causes the turn signal indicator to flash at the same speed whether a rear bulb fails or you're using the turn signal normally, making it hard to notice a burned-out rear bulb.

General Motors will send a wireless software update to fix the exterior lighting control module, or you can schedule a dealership appointment for the update.
