Thanks for the replys. I actually did get a carfax done AND had it checked out by the dealer. Most of my repairs have been done by the dealers. I just recently took it to an actual corvette mechanic who I liked better than the dealer. I probably should have gotten rid of it but I'm going to hang in there with the car a while more. I really love it but I would like to spend money on making the car faster not just keeping it moving.

 

 

No repairs done to my 01 except for scheduled maintenance. Modding doesn't count.... right.....

 

Hard to explain your issues, my 01' has 48k and have owned since late 06' with nothing but oil and gas. I guess things happen sooner or later but I hope yours will stabilize now. Now I am looking over my shoulder.

 

-Door computer - Did the relay fix as posted by Bakersfield
-Gas Gauge - I need use Seafoam at least once a month or my gas gauge stops reading correctly
-leaking rear end - have this problem right now. I will attempt to fix it on my own with the help of some forum brothers in March
-the seat rocks - I ignore this. My plan is to upgrade to C6 seats
-random grounding issues - I have already dealt with this one several times.

I also have had,
-short in door connector - fixed with liquid electrical tape and electronic connector cleaning job.
-failed HVAC blower - dirty connector. Cleaned the connector and fixed it.
-bad actuator door in HVAC (one side blew piping hot while the other side blew ice cold) - $700 to the stealership because I was not a member here yet.

Despite all this though, I still love this car. Its just high maintenance like a beautiful women.

 

Reading your list my thinking is the stealership sold you a lot of stuff you did not need. They seem to work from the most expensive part down when they quote repairs.

I suspect you will have much better results with your new found mechanic.

 

I read the OP's post and can't help but wonder the same thing as others that maybe the odometer got swapped. It sounds like a car with considerable more mileage on it. I would know as I'm the one with the extreme mileage '99. Said it lots of times in here that nothing lasts forever but for such low miles and if it was taken care of, there really shouldn't be anything wrong with it at this time. Sure there are exceptions to everything based upon climate, conditions and general care. A car that has 20k on it and badly abused the whole time, you can except it to be somewhat worn out. But taken care of and not abused, 20K is nothing. Still new as far as I'm concerned.
If I was you, take each item, one at a time and solve it. Move onto the next one and solve it. Also, make sure you are taking it to a dealer who cares what they are doing rather than simply making money off you... In other words, a dealer that will tell you the truth. Also, do your homework on the problem before you go, pulling codes, doing the basic diagnostics that you can do yourself. This way, you are armed with all the information at your disposal and that same information helps them to figure out what is wrong with this or that. Start with the most serious issue and work backwards in priority.
Look at the ground packs, battery connections and reall all connectors for contamination issues. I have to wonder if the car was flooded by the previous owner?
