Seeing Yellow! Auto Tech Says Don’t Worry About C8 Check Engine Lights

Are diehard enthusiasts making too many excuses for the C8 issues?

As I’ve mentioned before, I spend a lot of time on social media, with Facebook being one of the most active for Corvette news. I don’t say this to brag, given a lot of the minutes that pass is wasting time, (look honey Bob and Sarah are having steaks on the grill!). But since so much Corvette stuff flows through my Facebook feed, I’ve convinced myself I’m working!

Now, I know it’s human nature that most people aren’t vocal unless they are complaining about something, and I acknowledge there are thousands of happy C8 owners out there who have had zero issues, but a day doesn’t go by when I don’t see at least one owner moaning about an issue with their C8.

That being said, even I was shocked when I witnessed, of all people, an auto technician glossing over all the check engine lights that are lighting up C8 interiors across the country. Then I was even more alarmed when a handful of folks joined in with agreement. Before I go on, this is a perfect time to introduce his post.
