Here’s everything [BROKEN] on my 2005 Corvette

My 15 year old C6 is getting.....old. It’s starting to show as little things are breaking and causing problems all over the car. Here is everything that is broken on my 2005 Corvette right now. From the No Fobs Detected to the roof cracking. I’ve got Corvette problems! 😕
Should I sell it and get a C7? Should I try to get a C8 when they come out? Should I just sell it so I can park a different car in the garage?

This is all very easy to repair. Perhaps, you should sell and drive a Honda. Seems more your speed?

[@windycitywarrior71]

Video should be called what happens to your vette when you don’t maintain it and don’t bother repairing anything. But will complain about it.

[@32sonmex]

That’s what happens when you buy a used and abused car. I have a 06 C6 with 80 k miles without any issue. Probably one of the best vehicles I ever owned.

Oh no! Your aftermarket shift knob won't fit. I'm definitely never going to buy a corvette.

Wow ! When I read the title I was thinking a bunch of mechanical problems for the word BROKEN and nothing but problems. Dude this is nothing ! These are all cheap fixes what's the big deal? And also that's why you dont buy cheap tires ! Just saying. I just spent 15 minutes of my time here thinking he must have some really bad problems with the car that wouldn't hurt to be aware of. Should have saved the battery time and memory on your phone and just fixed the darn thing 👍

I have an 05 C6 with 90k miles and love it, its just like anything else if you don't take care of it or repair things as they break you will have a lot of things that are in that sort of condition. You have to perform maintenance on any vehicle.

[@pantera31169311]

The car is just angry with you and revolting over those hideous wheels. I have a 2006 Corvette that's been one of the best cars I've ever owned.

[@SupercarRanch]

Ha. Maybe. I’ve had mixed feelings about the wheels ever since I bought the car. But about a year ago I went and bought some OEM Grand Sport wheels and I love them.

[@littleASTRONOMICAL15]

I feel your pain man. My C6 is just down and out at this point. Same cosmetic crap with the mirrors inside, my plastic trim around the center console cracked, that same rubber thing hanging by the seats, had the same fob issue. Bought a new fob and it worked for like a day and then stopped working. Had to do the doors unlocked routine and fob in glove compartment. Finally the car just stopped starting and would just crank and keep turning over but never started. Mechanic said it wasnt the starter, we changed some relays, tried this tried that.... nothing. Finally have up and just parked for now until i figure out how to revive it when i get time and $. I really dont want to let it go but geesh smh. Good luck w yours !

[@SupercarRanch]

Yeah sounds a lot like mine. I’ve fixed just about all this except the key fobs. It the sensor behind the dash (RCDLR) that has gone bad and I want to fix it myself but it’s looking like a dealer might have to since they have to program it.

[@pederholmberg1403]

Check out the blue connectors under the wood board, by the passengers feets. The passengers feet push on the wood board and the wood board push on the connectors ,witch cause bad contact. It happend to me last year, and all of a sudden there was all kind of messages on the dashboard and no start. /Peder

[@joeshmo9677]

Those sunglasses scream I don’t maintain my Corvette. You look more like you should be driving a Prius.

[@rockbelenbiocos9381]

I have 2006 and all the problems you have is same with mine. The problems are so many and put you embarrassed and unsafe. What a shame to the makers of this car

[@SupercarRanch]

Yeah, it happens with about any 15 year old car. The only problem that is seriously annoying is the remote key sensor dying cause there is no other way to start the car. The rest....I kinda embellished a little for a dramatic video 🤣 and all that stuff got fixed real easily.

[@z512345]

First of all this is a 15 year old car, and you should have tried to address these issues one by one when they first happened. I have a 2005 yellow convertible that I bought new . This car is the best Vette I have owned , and I have owned about 30 of them.The car looks like it just rolled out of the showroom. I have cared for the car , and the only parts I have changed in 53k miles is the tires and battery.

[@rkspartan8975]

And this guy is a complete moron too, clearly doesn’t know how to maintain anything and too cheap to fix it

[@datboycrazzycooper5931]

Sounds like you just need a snickers

[@rubyred93chev]

First model years for any generation, especially C6's, always have a malady of minor issues. Generally all are pretty simple to fix. Invest some money in interior components and DIY. Moving on, take your car to your local Chevy Service Department with a concise list of problems. They'll be glad to triage the issues like the fob(I have the same exact Calvin Klein key chain). Bottom line, if you had it for 10 years you must have kinda let it go? I'd trade it for either a much much newer C6, or up to a C7. (And yes we Corvette owners are generally brand loyal). Heck, you can find a 2019 Stingray for less than 55K(but those payments may as well get you into a 2020 C8). Keep us posted. Great video.

[@The_Temple]

My guess: previous owner/s were too cheap to maintain it properly

[@kelleymanning1137]

Dude, you didn't take care of the car...spend a few bucks and fix these extremely MINOR problems. ALL of the things you've mentioned are nothing...hell, you could fix all of that in a day. If you cant afford the maintenance on a 15 year old car then buy a later model car that is more your speed...like a Japanese chick car or something. The C6 is an exceptional car with outstanding performance, and you're whining about nothing.

[@SupercarRanch]

I love all these comments acting like I didn’t already fix all these things a long time ago. 🤣 it’s a KZbin video man, chill

[@benedictdonald4338]

He can’t fix the car....it’s “that time of the month” for “him”.

[@nothingbuthooksets]

Had problems starting mine a long time ago because it wasn't recognizing the fob key.. got new batteries in both fob keys. Had to re sync them to the car. Never had a problem sense

[@SupercarRanch]

Yeah that was my first troubleshooting step and I’ve replaced both. It is for sure the sensor.

[@powerboatguy2308]

I just bought a 2005 C6 with 21,800 miles on it, seems like it is really good shape, how many miles do you have on yours? At what point did you start having issues in regards to mileage?

[@SupercarRanch]

62k miles on mine. My problems are more related to age than mileage

[@powerboatguy2308]

@@SupercarRanch Age will affect hoses, shifter connections, it is funny, my neighbor has 228k miles on his 1998 C5, never had issues other than repairing his convertible top & motor. I have a friend at work that bought a low mile 2009 C6, babies the car and cannot keep it out of the shop, has less than 30k miles on it.

[@bellerophon9116]

All cars have shortcomings; some worse than others. Your key issue, and paint are likely to be the worst expenses you’ve mentioned. The roof I would replace with a body colored panel. Given the performance, and style you get from a Corvette, it’s no easy task finding something else that won’t cost considerably more to achieve that level of driving experience 🤷‍♂️

[@SupercarRanch]

All was fixed and car has been sold. The worst issue, as far as difficulty, was likely the roof since I would have had to replace the glass panel. But that was pretty minor to begin with. No doubt though there is no car better for the price 👍

[@SupercarRanch]

But the key fob issue was the most expensive. About $900 for the dealer to fix

[@pauldickhaus1803]

I'm not surprised so much is broken, it looks like you haven't maintained that car at all. Why not spend a few hundred $ and a few hourse of time and you could have kept the car looking practically new

[@lcasarez1699]

Assuming that you are in good health, then perhaps best to have channeled all of the energy squandered cataloging the issues with the car into fixing the car instead.

[@car_lifepassion252]

Steam or a heat gun will work with the clear bra

[@SupercarRanch]

I tried a hair dryer on a really hot afternoon. Didn’t really help. I don’t want to put an actual heat gun on it and damage it. I’ve heard of trying the steam gun, but never tried it. Might have to do that. Thanks for the tip!

[@tkelly5422]

Bought a 2005 Corvette last year from dealership. They offered a 3-yr 30k warranty (stacks with the 19,500 miles it already had on it) and I took it. Well, took it to dealer for oil change (I prepaid those too like a sucker) and guess what? Car won't start. They ask me if I installed a kill switch. Nope. After some diagnostics, they determine that the FOB and transmitter is bad. Had to replace transmitter and both FOBs. Free, but would have been costly at dealership. Replaced the old stlye FOB with newer styles, so that was a win. Now my doors open the first time I try.

[@tkelly5422]

If the car is mechanically sound and you desire to keep it, either replace the front assembly, hood and headlights with new, or take it to body shop to sandblast it to the fiberglass and start over.

[@oneanon]

You have no Idea of what you have, this car has been abused and miss treated. I have a 2005 convertible everything works no problem looks brand new.

[@dadams19111]

Dude, sell it and get another one. Bottom line, it has been neglected, wore from use and age. I own a 2005 and a 1975 and love them both. actually , you don't have a lot of work.

It's probably the battery in the fob I think mine needs one to it does that when it's in my pocket

[@SupercarRanch]

It’s really not. I know that’s the first thought that worked at first, but over time it was worse and worse on both remotes. After digging further, it’s a somewhat common issue that the device under the dash that reads the remotes dies. That’s what has happened. Doesn’t even really work in the glove box slot anymore that I had on a really old video on my channel. It’s really the only thing still yet to be fixed cause a dealer has to do it.

[@chevycmf]

Soooo why don’t you take it to get fixed ……. Easy fix . It’s obviously that module or the key fob . Replace them ….. and done .

[@etd5797]

Eraser wheel at a body shop very eazy to remove

[@craigd7547]

I feel for you bud. To get that clear bra off, get the car into the sun. Your going to sweat your ass off doing this.. Get a couple plastic razor blades ( yes their a real item) and about 8 or so replacement blades. A bottle of goo gone and a few kitchen sponges with that plastic mesh crap around them. Now car paint should be very warm in the sun. Start plastic razor blading the bra off. Go in small sections. Then apply goo gone let soak a few seconds, scrub with mesh sponge, then rescrape with blade , more goo and the sponge. Repeat till its removed. You say you want to do it. I would have gladly paid $500. to have someone else do it. Did it to my 05 C6. Paint is beautiful underneath. Take your time.

[@SupercarRanch]

Hey man I appreciate the comment. I’ve tried that and just about every other trick. The warm paint didn’t seem to help, nor did a blow drier. Goo gone and decal remover work but it really just dissolves the whole thing and then you can’t strip it off in chunks. Good news is I got most of it off a long time And there is just a little left on the bumper and I’m actually getting that off this weekend. Then I gotta take it to get paint correction cause it left the paint underneath all cloudy. This older generation of PPF is crap. I hear the new stuff is way better. I’d pay someone $500 as well but was never able to find someone to do it at a reasonable cost. Any place that could do it would only Pay hourly and do the same thing I’m doing so it would cost thousands.

[@josephdowlearn8816]

[@jeffreywhitlatch1409]

I think your key fob has bad connections, from corroded or broken contacts in it. And I say the key plugs into the glove box slot and not the whole key fob. Boy that hood sure sucks. It looks like you did the E brake boot. I was considering Continental Tires but now I don't think so. Even though in the past I've had trouble with leaky rims and tires that weren't Continental. They can seal that tire up.

[@SupercarRanch]

It’s not the key fob. It is the module behind the dash. And yes it is the fob that goes in the glove box slot, not the key. I wish there was a hidden key hole somewhere to start the car. That would be amazing! 😀 fixed the brake boot, need to edit and post that video. I bought these tires discontinued on clearance and that may have been why 😂

You inductor and the RCDLR is out, but guessing you already figured that out being this video is in July. I have the same issue with my back glass, but not as often on my O6. Don't have the wheel issues, but do need a paint job. These C6 are fun project cars and will have issues, but are such a blast to mess with.

[@ae58hpa]

Where did the car come from and where in the country do you live? general motors uses different glues and attachment options based on where the car is made and or going. Same goes for window treatments as well as paint conditions. issues can arise quickly when you bring a northern car to the south or a southern car to the north.

Interesting. I bought the car I Georgia for the original owner and where the original dealer was. I am in Texas. So I’d assume it would be a southern car if that was the case.

GM's interiors are known to fall apart. I've known people who have gotten rid of their GM performance cars because of the low quality of the interior. Broken door handles, door locks not working properly, knobs not working, plastic pieces falling, center consol issues, etcetra. Many cars are cheaply built, but I think GM performance cars probably have the cheapest and poorest made interiors and exteriors of any other car company.
