2012 CHEVROLET CORVETTE
This model year
What the record shows
The 2012 Chevrolet Corvette is a two-seater, and the 53rd model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1960 to 2027.
The EPA rated four configurations: engines from 6.2-litre eight-cylinder to 7-litre eight-cylinder, rear-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on premium gasoline and regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 17 to 19 mpg depending on which one you have.
The federal record holds 56 owner complaints, 1 safety recall and 1,144 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
