Corvette Problems
I am wanting to purchase a used C6 and keep hearing about roofs flying off crankbolt issues and etc are alot of drivers seeing issues with their C6's or are these just few and far between.It really makes me mad that GM can't figure this stuff out ahead of time.Input would be appreciated.

Aside from the roof issue mine has been outstanding. No problems at all. Forums always bring out all of the problems. That's the nature of us humans. Complain if we have a problem. Otherwise we keep quiet.

The top issue is a widespread problem but the crank bolt is limited to a serial number range. You can check the VIN with any Chevy service dept. to see if the car you are considering is included and if the work has been performed. While the C6 has had difficulties, they are not as bad as might be implied by posts on this forum. People tend to complain about problems to inform other forum members rather than elaborate on positive experiences with their Corvettes. Overall, the C6 has proven to be a solid, well built, and reliable vehicle. I have owned my '05 for a year and have had no warranty issues to date.
