2019 Chevrolet Corvette 2 DR RWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette 2 DR RWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"my corvette developed a cracked wheel. we took it to the dealership that put new tires on a week ago because the low air alarm came on. they informed me the wheel was cracked and denied damaging it when putting on the new tires. “it just happens” was their claim. now we learn there is a class action lawsuit because so many generation c7 corvettes are suffering unexplainable wheel failures. gm is denying warranty claims and it’s costing the car owners thousands of dollars to replace wheels. the wheel i need is going to be $1200 and will likely be yet another oem wheel prone to the same problem. should this not be something in your agencies purview to investigate?"
