chevrolet corvette 2012 Complaints

TIRES

my model is equipped with goodyear "eagle f1 supercar gen2 tires" featuring an asymmetric tread pattern. they are very hard and treacherous in cold rainy weather and have a tendency to "float" on any kind of ponding water on the road (particularly expressways) causing the vehicle to act as if it is going to move laterally from one lane to the next. it is disconcerting at best and potentially dangerous at worst. *js

AIR BAGS

passenger air bag light shows off when my 120 pound wife sits in the passenger seat...took the car to the dealer today and was told that it works if the passenger weighs 150 pounds...please advise next steps as this seems very unsafe and i want the air bag functional for my passengers who are adults! was even told to have my wife put more things in her purse to add to her weight!

POWER TRAIN

clutch master cylinder failed causing the car to not be able to disengage clutch with pedal making it extremely dangerous to stop car or remove it from gear. future attempts to start car with on-star on the phone so they could run diagnostic check remotely failed. 3 attempts to start car and it would not start. towed to dealer and upon arrival towing company had asked for mileage of car. exactly like above i pushed start button to turn gauges on dash, this time car started and overpowered emergency brake because it was still in gear and it ran into tow truck nearly hitting tow driver and was inches from cutting his legs off. in no way should this car have been able to start in gear and i believe it wouldn't have, had the clutch master cylinder not failed at only 4600 miles.
