2020 Chevrolet CORVETTE - Ratings, Complaints and Recalls

The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette has not been rated for safety by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This means there is no available data on its overall, front, side, rollover, or pole crash ratings. However, it does come equipped with standard electronic stability control for enhanced safety on the road. Unfortunately, it does not feature forward collision warning or lane departure warning systems.

On the downside, there have been 24 complaints reported for this model, and it also has a relatively high number of recalls at 4. While the lack of safety ratings may be a concern, the presence of stability control adds a layer of safety for drivers.

2020 Chevrolet Corvette 2 DR RWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2020 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.
