Car problems
I have a 2015 Corvette that has 2 problems the dealership cannot fix. The first problem occurred about a year ago. While driving every warning light possible comes on in the instrument panel, of course everything is not going to go wrong at the same time and the car is running fine. After driving a short distance of just a few miles the lights will go out. The second problem happened later. When trying to start the car nothing happens when pushing the start button however the depress the clutch to start the vehicle light comes on and obviously I am pushing in the clutch. To get the car to start I have to release the clutch depress again push the start button and repeat this process many times and eventually the car will start. When I've taken the car into the dealership they scan it but none of these problems show up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx

I would start with the clutch pedal switch for the second problem. For the first, maybe reflash all the software for the ECM, BCM, and any other modules they can.
But I would hope the dealer already did those things. If so, I have no idea.

Might be a wire pinched somewhere in some harness every now and then is shorting.
had this in my brand new 65. mile 2005 Grand Prix GXP. Similar crazy symptoms causing total power loss out of nowhere and all lights to be on then go away.
took two trips for dealer to figure it out. It was a pinched wire that was screwed down under the yaw sensor under the center console.
So fun to see your brand new car completely gutted. I was disgusted. Worst is the plant that made that pos received a build quality award least complaints all GM lol... the on star antenna leaked also. Fixed myself.
but I would have them check harnesses. Someone pinched a wire I almost guarantee it. They're only human.
