The pulley had a recall for adding in a spacer to allow the bolt to hold without bottoming out.
The hard top delamination issue was common.
The differential was redesigned for the 06 year due to a statistically significant number of cars breaking them with stock power on stock tires. While there are people who will chime in to say they have a million HP and theirs didnt break, it doesnt negate the significant failures....and we count failures in determining issues not 'non-failures'.
My heated seat on the driver's side didnt work out the gate but was repaired 2 weekls after purchase and has worked since (4 years)
The LS2 clutch was weak and was phased out in 2007.
The fuel sender unit had a carry over from the C5's in that it could suddenly drop to zero and back to correct readings from one sec to the next.
The MAF had a patch in the software implimented to circumvent a glitch if its high freq was passed.
A steering column connector would corrode giving a code.
The transmission could get a bit iffy about getting into 1st gear at a traffic light.
I love my 05!

I have an '05 - it's VIN was outside the crank issue. I never got to top fixed - hasn't flown off yet, and I have never had DBS or any other problem ...
Oh - the gas cap ... 10$ solved that problem.
No matter what, you always rolling the dice when you buy a car ... but if you want to hedge the probability - well, you know the answer.
