sooo many problems
my fuel gauge randomly goes dead. Through 1 tank of gas it will go dead atleast 3 times and after it goes dead the warning light will come on saying low fuel and will periodically come up again and again with the notification.
My check engine light will periodically turn on, especially after hard acceleration.
The service engine soon message does the same.
My driver's side taillights randomly work (turn signals, brake, hazards, all out).
Fog lights don't work.
Did the seat (sliding from front to back) fix, but the seats still rock, not slide, under acc/dec.
Transmission leaks and sometimes I can't shift into 1st gear. I have to rev high and shift from second at a dead stop.
Any ideas?

I had the same fuel guage problem on my 2001 Z06. It turned out to be the sender and was fixed under warranty. Even if your car is out of warranty I would still try to get the dealer to fix it for no charge because this was such a common problem for C-5 Corvettes. G.M. will sometimes do this to retain good customer relations. -Bob
