2008 Chevrolet Corvette mileage at failure

409 of the 541 complaints on file for the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
Fuel/Propulsion SystemMedian 50,000 milesMiddle half 35,000–70,000 milesBased on 269 complaints
Exterior LightingMedian 60,000 milesMiddle half 40,000–85,000 milesBased on 39 complaints
Electrical SystemMedian 40,000 milesMiddle half 9,000–60,000 milesBased on 31 complaints

A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.

Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.

These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.

Most complaints NHTSA received since May 17, 2021 give no mileage. So that they aren't undercounted, each one received since then that gives a mileage also stands in for those that gave none, which can put a component's median above most of the mileages it is based on.
