Default 2015 Corvette engine problems

16,000 miles I am seeing white smoke for exhaust sometimes while driving at 50 mph. never when idle or parked. have someone notice this problem ? I will be taking car to dealer for inspection / repair.

On older engines, that was a common symptom of a leaking head gasket allowing coolant into the combustion chamber. You don't hear about those types of problems much these days.

However, it doesn't make sense you'd only see it at 50mph.

I have a 2015 with about same mileage, and no problems so far.
