I have a 2005 also ..last week I had to replace a burnt wire that was causing a lot of electrical issues ... Other than that just simple stuff has being changed ... Pulleys ... Shock absorber and headlight ballast that's it I have had it for 4 years already all I can say is I don't know if I will have a better car in my life
Man I feel the same way, I’ve had mine for 4 and a half years and one engine rebuild (my fault the old one blew) but other than that just oil changes and a replacing my starter she has been pretty amazing.. I haven’t even had to touch my AC.. only thing rn is a power steering fluid leak but no biggie
Hah, can confirm: have had a 2008 for a year and a half, and I already got problem 1, 2, 3 and 4... not the 5, but probably just because I have a custom rear bumper. Let me add to the list the finicky fobs being recognized only when the car feels like it, the squeaky targa roof, the lever getting stuck in P, turn lights regularly going out, a battery that needs to be changed every year, and the radio volume knob unable to function properly every time And yet, after 15.000 miles, two road trips and three track days, I'm still in love with it. Terrific car. EDIT: And remember guys: pin the harmonic balancer, the achilles' heel of the otherwise majestic LS3. You don't really want to leave it wobbling around
Hey bro that squeaky targa roof was an easy fix... remove the roof and put Vaseline on the little prongs that stick out and in the spot where the prongs go into roof... that one drove me crazy hahaha... but yep did the balancer on mine when installing the cam/ other goodies
I think the thing you said about the leaves in the paint might just be because of the color. I have a yellow mustang and I kind of feel like that too with my car.
Man I bought a c6 corvette literally yesterday and my biggest pet peav about it is the door handles😂 it’s like sometimes they will work instantly and other times I have to hold it 3-4 different tries to get it to open but otherwise love the car
Just wait! 1. Shifter will stop coming out of park! 2. Raw fuel smell inside. Known defect and re-designed but no RECALL so you get to pay $2500 to repair it!
My driver door switch it's brand new and even though it open just if I press unlock on the fob ...what can be this issue ? It doesn't bother me at all but would like to fix it
@@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 hey brother thanks a lot for responding well it has a brand new battery ...passenger door opens quick ...I can install a new battery on the fob and try but I don't think that's the problem ...once again buddy thanks for responding greetings from miami fl
Ur BackLights : if u want, u could seal ur backlights with color-less (that glass like shine through stuff) silicone. Press it with a silicone-gun around the gap, finish it with going around the fresh sealing and merge it tied in between the gap with ur clean finger-tip, til u almost can't see the application, when u look at it. Never mind, if u mess it up, after the silicone dried, u can pull it off and try again. U have to do pretty much the same thing, if u take off the frontLight housing, if u really want to clean them up. !
I have 08 C6 convertible. No problems. But fob. So bought new fobs everything ok now. I also got morimotos lights front and rear love it. Never getting rid of my classic car.
I have sap or bird dropping stains on mine like you mentioned and my headlights need to be buffed out. Low tire pressure on driver side front occasionally as well.
Build up of dirt at tail lights has somewhat to do with the fact your running no cats so the rear bumper is always going to stay dirty. Headlight hazing is coming and lens needs replaced. That’s why I went with Moromotio. I hear you about the TPS and electronic door handles.
Hey awesome video dude, I'm a subscriber. I need help 2005 c6, sometimes I can't get the interior door unlock buttons to work, other than that no problems ever. Thanks
It’s probably not the switch.. your door latch motor is probably going out, that is what happened to mine right after I got the car.. I believe is was around $100 at the time for another motor but it is easy to replace
I wonder myself, how do dust particles get over time into the C6 head-Lamps, ... it's possible that it be a common thing that there is moister in the head-Lamp, it's supposed to disappear after a couple of hours use. Yeah, it'LL quite take some time to take them head-Lamps off, and than take them apart, but can be done.
Yeah I have seen a few videos of people taking the headlight out to restore.. most of them say its such a headache they would rather just spend the money on new though lol
@@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 Doesn't matter to me, and if it takes two or even 3 days, it is not all work anyway, some things take time to dry and what not. But in the end u earned the cash, and money is some times hard to get. But it has 3 bonuses or even 4 u'LL get either : 1.what u do urself is definetely quality, ecause u will do it with passion 2. u don't need to pay some one else + spend a little to have more tools 3. when u dig deeper into ur car, u can clean up things in the vicinity u usually never face, and get a little deeper into it, and put a drop of oil here and there.
With my car the battery of the front TPS Left didn't work no more, so I changed them both in da front when I got new front-tires. The car warned me, that it wouldn't go faster than 65, but no problem I still could go 90mph. Another hint, get ur new TPS in the tire-shop for about 45 bucks, Corvette takes 180$ just for one new TPS-sensor.
Luckily just about everything you named is an easy fix. My biggest grip is the targa top. The squeaking is super annoying and the clear tops are notorious for stress cracks. Again though... those are easy fixes as well. Dielectric grease and just wrap the top if it looks too bad. However, I have never owned a car with so many quirks!
Haha they are for sure quirky cars but good at what they do.. which is go fast hahaha... and yeah I have to put grease on the fittings for my top every so often!
The fiberglass has nothing to do with the paint. Also, it's not fiberglass: it's SMC with (on some panels) glass filler. The Corvette hasn't been real "fiberglass" for many decades.
fuel sending unit is a huge pain in the ass in mine my fuel guage doesnt work service fuel system flashes on the screen and check engine light is on there is nothing wrong with the car or anything but fuel always reads empty even when its full there is no point changing the sending unit till the fuel pumps go so i just live with it i do hate it though and good ol gm know this issue and wont do anything about it
@@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 yeah, some companies do that especially the more expansive the car was in the first place, example : corvette, backlight housing for 400$ each, or McLaren, a car battery for 3000 bucks, it's laughable, especially cars where the computer literally takes over, it's when u don't know any more what's broke, or even the smallest things can brake, the whole car doesn't work no more, all that with an almost brand new car.
You are being crazy I own a c6 never had the problems accept door handle that can easily be cleaned. Take care of your c6 dirt built up clean it.. love my c6
In my opinion when you daily drive something you will find more little annoyances with a car that u wouldn't know without driving it everyday as your main source of transportation

Do you think I should make another video similar to this?
sure, go ahead, welcome to the club.
Yes daddy
Must be craver
a tip: watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.
I’ll have to check that out! Thanks man!!
Replaced my headlights recently with Morimoto’s, also taillights. What an amazing difference..
Been looking at doing my tailights with the Morimotos
Love my C6 its a 2010 and I have none of these issues. I keep mine in the garage when not driving it.
They are great cars.. and yeah haha mine was daily driven for over 2 years so she has some beauty marks and extra quirks haha
@@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 my friend has one he is about to do an all wheel drive conversion on it that thing is going to be insane
@@joeythekid5042 how did that turn out that sounds insane
@@chandlergardner6655 it turned out pretty well I think he’s still working on it though he’s waiting for some more parts

such awesome cars, and thanks for watching the videos I appreciate it! and will do!

@@dbnarizona It was my bosses car and has already had those issues fixed thankfully
I did PURE ceramic coat on my 2011 Grand Sport. Complete body & wheels. Product cost $100. Nothing sticks. Worthwhile IMHO.
Oh nice! I need to check it out!
My driver door switch it's brand new and even though it open just if I press unlock on the fob ...what can be this issue ? It doesn't bother me at all but would like to fix it
Try and replace the battery in your fob then, it may not be recognizing you are close to it bc the battery is weak. I’m not sure but a possibility
@@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 hey brother thanks a lot for responding well it has a brand new battery ...passenger door opens quick ...I can install a new battery on the fob and try but I don't think that's the problem ...once again buddy thanks for responding greetings from miami fl
No problem and then I’m not too sure if u just replaced your door latch.. have you tried cleaning the contacts on the door pads?
And greetings from NC hahaha

Not sure if it makes any difference? But I do keep N2 in my tires, and haven't had any issues with TPMS yet. Love mine! Vette's for life :-)
I have sap or bird dropping stains on mine like you mentioned and my headlights need to be buffed out. Low tire pressure on driver side front occasionally as well.
Haha go on down the list brother 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The only thing annoying about a C6 corvette is it’s not 75 degrees everyday so I can’t drive it anytime I want
AGREED! HAHAHA

Yeah no cats doesn't help for sure lol, and yep they need to he replaced bad. 🤣
I own a c6 its also yellow like yours haha but yesss bro the paint is good just stains easy asf i do see what u mean
Yeassss not everyone gets what I’m talking about but it’s almost like soft paint lol

How much was the sensor
Typically around 80-100 for a set

Really like your vids bro. Keep it up. Subbed for sure. Just keep the cool content coming 😉
Hey I appreciate it a ton!! And thanks and will do haha
Goodyear has a tool to recalibrate tps done mine no problem for over a year
Really?! Didn't know that.. im gonna check it out, thank you!
Fiberglass doesn,t "stain". There are primer, base, and clear coat on the panels.
Keep grinding tyler!!!
Thanks buddy!!!
Dude, you're just rambling on. Show pictures & examples!

ah man that sucks, I know that has to be aggravating!
I believe all GM cars have a soft clear coat. They can get scratches very easily.
A lot of them do for sure.. not all though.. my grandpaws Bonneville has glass headlights
That’s so true I feel like no matter what I do I can’t keep my c6 paint from getting scratched or messed up
I have a yellow c6 and the paint is the same way 😢
It’s so aggravating haha
Aside from the 'soft paint fiberglass I dont like the way the tires kinda turn and the car turns'
Ya kno.
I hear ya haha, and in my experience I enjoy the handling pretty good to be a base model Vette
My wife’s headlights have gotten hazy and saggy after time too!! 😂😂😂😂
Haha, fortunately you can clean or add plastic in those situations 😂😉
OMG funk the damn headlight hazing! It's like they were designed up haze and crack.
Haha right?! It's aggravating
@@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 yeah, some companies do that especially the more expansive the car was in the first place, example : corvette, backlight housing for 400$ each, or McLaren, a car battery for 3000 bucks, it's laughable, especially cars where the computer literally takes over, it's when u don't know any more what's broke, or even the smallest things can brake, the whole car doesn't work no more, all that with an almost brand new car.
Yeah... only gonna get worse over time too most likely
Struggling to find a solid corvette for under 25k and 60k miles
It’s tough right now bc everything is so expensive used
Good luck. Find someone in a bad position on Facebook and low ball them
Is 65k miles for a corvette alright? What do u recommend I do as soon as I buy o s
Yeah that is still a healthy c6 if it’s been taken care of.. i bought mine at 77k miles
2 through 5
Stupid dirty taillights even on the C5. Drives me nuts too.
Yes it drives me crazy!!!
And that sticking gear shift on the automatics.. I cut mine.. Problem solved..
I don’t blame you hahah
Man, it’s you...leaves staining the paint? SMH....
it was a daily driver for over 2 years.. yes.. leaves have been on my car lol
Sounds Like you want Major Problems ,not Minor.
seems way dirtier on the car bro lol ive got same c6 as yours same color
Haha yes it drives me crazy lol
Maybe it's the color itself that shows that kind of dirt/stain?
yea forsure but i wrapped it satin pcean shimmer looks good as shit i love it
@@gripgetta2115 ah man I bet it looks great!!!
Yeah that could be it for sure!!
You are being crazy I own a c6 never had the problems accept door handle that can easily be cleaned. Take care of your c6 dirt built up clean it.. love my c6
Do you daily drive yours?
@@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 No i don't daily drive a V8 but i been in corvette club for years.
In my opinion when you daily drive something you will find more little annoyances with a car that u wouldn't know without driving it everyday as your main source of transportation
I have to be honest this review of the c6 corvette is really not worth watching 😕
Yep. 5 more reasons I traded my c6 for a c7 🤣
Haha they aren't big enough reasons for me to go c7... imo both cars have their own set of quirks lol🤣
@@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 You are right. They do. I just wanted a newer one really.
Yeah they are super nice on the inside though I love both haha
