TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
2004 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO MALFUNCTION OF CRUISE AND TRACTION CONTROLS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. HE WOULD TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD WORK FOR A VERY SHORT TIME AND THEN SHUT OFF AGAIN. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEEDS OF 65-70, THE CONSUMER FELT A SLIGHT SLOW DOWN IN THE ENGINE AND A PULL TO THE RIGHT IN THE STEERING. ONCE HE TURNED OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL, THE PROBLEM CEASED. *JB

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME FROM LUNCH WITH A FRIEND I HAVEN'T SEEN FOR A WHILE, CAR RAN FLAWLESSLY UP TO THE LOSS, DROPPED HIM BACK OFF AT HIS CAR AND WE PARTED WAYS. THEN ON MY WAY HOME, MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, GOING ABOUT 40MPH, 3RD GEAR CRUISING ALONG ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE THE EXHAUST CAME LOOSE, FOLLOWED BY A LOT OF ENGINE NOISE, FOLLOWED BY A LARGE WHITE PUFF OF SMOKE FROM BEHIND. I HAD A EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS BY MERCURY AND THEY DENIED THE WARRANTY DUE TO ABUSE. WENT TO A RACE EVENT 3 MONTHS PRIOR AND DID 3 RACES ON A STRAIGHT AWAY FROM 50-130, FOUND FOOTAGE OF MY CAR ON YOUTUBE AND THEY CLAIMED THAT WAS THE REASON WHY I BLEW MY MOTOR. THEY SAID I EITHER HAD TO DENY THAT AND RISK GETTING CHARGED WITH FRAUD OR ADMIT THAT WAS ME IN THE VIDEO. THIS WILL DEFINITELY BE THE LAST GM I EVER BUY. NOW LEFT WITH A USELESS CAR AND HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW MOTOR. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES AND MY ABS BRAKES FAILED, MY CAR COULD NOT STOP AND I NARROWLY MISSED HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD MY CAR DIAGNOSED AT JOHN L SULLIVAN CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THAT MY ABS "ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE" FAILED AND THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE FROM THE DEALER OR AFTERMARKET. I WENT ONLINE TO THE CORVETTEFORUM.COM AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CORVETTE OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE ARE NO FIXES FOR THIS. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT GM COULD NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE. THIS PROBLEM INCLUDES CORVETTES MANUFACTURED FROM 1998-2004. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE THIS A RECALL ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND I'M AFRAID TO LET MY FAMILY DRIVE MY CAR. *TR

TIRES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), AIR BAGS
ON WEDNESDAY 7 NOV 2012, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT APPROX 4:30PM AND WHILE CHANGING LANES (FROM THE RH LANE TO THE LH LANE, TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN APPROX HALF A MILE) WHEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRES POPPED AND I SPUN, CROSSED THE MEDIAN, CROSS TWO SOUTHBOUND LANES, STRUCK AN ELECTRICITY POLE, SPUN AGAIN AND FINALLY CAME TO REST ON THE SIDEWALK & GRASS. NEITHER STABILITY CONTROL NOR TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVATED ONCE THE CAR BEGAN TO SPIN (COUNTER CLOCKWISE) WHICH CREATED AN UNCONTROLLABLE AND UNRECOVERABLE SPIN. THE FAILURE OF THESE SYSTEMS ACTIVATE AND OPERATE PROPERLY COULD HAVE KILLED ME AND DESTROYED THE CAR. BOTH SYSTEMS WERE FULLY OPERATIONAL AND ON. ALSO, THE SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN THE IMPACTED THE POLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHEN I MAKE A SLOW TURN LEFT OR RIGHT SOMETIMES THE FRONT BRAKE WOULD GRAB MY CAR AS THE SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING WOULD SHOW ON MY DASH. THE DEALER CLASSIC CHEVROLET HAD MY CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AS THEY SAID IT WAS THE STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR (BUT GM HAS DISCONTINUED NEW PARTS FOR 1999 & 2000 MODELS ONLY). THE DEALER COULDN'T REPAIR THE PROBLEM EVEN WHEN I PROVIDED A USED PART AS THEY SAY USED SENSORS DON'T WORK. THERE ARE OVER 6,000 1999 & 2000 VETTES THAT WERE SOLD SO WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO TRASH OUR $20,000.00 CARS TO THE DUMPSTER? GM NEEDS TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY AND AT LEAST START OFFERING THIS PART FOR MANUFACTURING. THE REASON GM QUIT MAKE THIS PART WAS DUE TO A DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM & 2 MANUFACTURERS WHO CLAIMED THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO MANUFACTURE THIS PRODUCT FOR THESE YEAR MODELS. THIS GM DROPPED IT BUT THEY STILL MAKE IT FOR OTHER OLDER & NEWER MODELS. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON INDICATING CHECK ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND TRACTION CONTROL. AFTER A VISIT TO A CHEVY DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR CONTROLLING THESE ITEMS WAS BAD AND GM NO LONGER PRODUCED THE PART. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET WITHOUT SUCCESS FOR THE PART, I WAS TOLD BY ONE PART SUPPLIER THAT HE HAD 15 PEOPLE ON A WAITING LIST FOR THE PART AND NO IDEA WHEN HE WOULD HAVE ONE. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE WITHOUT ANTI-LOCKS AND WITHOUT TRACTION CONTROL, SAFETY OPTIONS I PAID FOR THAT ARE NOW INOPERABLE. SHOULD AN ACCIDENT OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THESE FAILINGS, WOULD GM ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY?? *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MASSIVE ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO A FAILED EXHAUST VALVE AFTER INSPECTION, CAR LOST ALL POWER AND WAS IMMOBILE AFTER ROLLING TO A STOP. THE 7 AND 8 CYLINDER ON THE BLOCK WERE COMPLETELY VENTILATED. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2006-2011 CORVETTES AND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.WHAT HAPPENS IS THE HEAD OF THE EXHAUST VALVE FALLS OFF AND THEN IT MAKES CONTACT WITH THE PISTON AND TAKES OUT THE BLOCK AND PISTON AND RODS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AS THERE IS SEVERAL HUNDRED OR MORE Z06 EQUIPPED WITH THE LS7 MOTOR THAT HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND IMHO THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF RECALL ON THESE MOTORS. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
ROOF LAMINATE WAS REPLACED AS PART OF A MANUFACTURER RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO. BUT CRACKING NOISE CONTINUED UNTIL TODAY AFTER A LOUD KNOCK, THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE ROOF STARTED LEAKING AIR BADLY. PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THE ROOF BODY AND NOT JUST THE LAMINATE HAD SEPARATED FROM ITS FRAME. OPENED ROOF LATCHES AND WHILE REMOVING THE DETACHABLE ROOF, BOTH REAR METAL PINS THAT MECHANICALLY HOLD THE ROOF TO THE FRAME FELL TO THE GROUND. THREADED SECTION OF BOTH PINS HAD SHEARED OFF AND ROOF WAS ONLY HELD IN PLACE BY THE REAR CENTER HOOK. APPARENTLY MATERIAL AND PIN DESIGN IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE TORQUE THAT THE ROOF GOES THROUGH AGAINST THE FRAME DURING NORMAL DRIVING RESULTING IN COMPLETE SEPARATION OF THE ROOF. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON SEPTEMBER 13,2012 MY FUEL GAUGE STOP WORKING AND IT WAS NOT REGISTERING ANY GAS LEVEL IN THE TANK . I WENT TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THINKING THAT THIS WAS A REPAIR WHICH WOULD FALL UNDER MY VEHICLE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A HISTORY CODE THAT CAME UP IN MY CAR COMPUTER AT 13,700 MILES THAT MY FUEL SYSTEM WAS FALLING. THIS IS A CODE THAT YOU AS THE DRIVER DO NOT SEE NOR DO THE TECH AT THE DEALERSHIP WILL SEE UNLESS A DIAGNOSIS TESTING IS DONE. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO CALL GM , BECAUSE THIS FALL UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS WITH CORVETTES. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED SOMETIME THIS FUEL TANK FAILURE CAN HAPPEN AT ANY MILEAGE. THIS FAILURE WITH MY VEHICLE CONSIST OF RIGHT FUEL TANK HAD TO BE REPLACE,FUEL LEVER SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACE,FUEL SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACE,LINE IN TANK HAD TO BE REPLACE,CROSSOVER TUBING HAD TO BE REPLACE. IF I KNOW THAT THIS AL FELL UNDER THE GM FACTORY WARRANTY THIS WOULD HAD CST ME $2,024.09. THIS ISSUES HAD TO BE KNOW, THIS HAS HAPPEN WITH 2007 THRU 2011 CORVETTE'S THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUES. YOU AS A OWNER MUST BE PERSIST WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND GM THEY WILL NOT WANT TO PAY ERROR THAT THEY KNOW IS GOING ON. I HAD TO REPORT THIS TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICE IN ILLINOIS AND THE BBB IN ILLINOIS BEFORE SOMETHING WAS DONE. I JUST WANTED OTHER OWNER TO BE AWARE OF THIS HAVE YOUR VEHICLE CHECK FOR THIS FAILURE. *TR

STEERING
DRIVING DOWN RT 2 IN CT WITH CRUISE SET ON 65 WHEN A "ACTIVE HANDLING" FAILURE CODE JUST POPPED UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL (VERY FIRST TIME EVER) AND THEN THE BACK RIGHT BRAKE WAS ACTIVATED SKEWING THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO THE RIGHT. I RECOVERED THE CAR AND SLOWLY DROVE IT HOME WITH THE CODE STILL DISPLAYED. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE CORVETTE CENTER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SENSOR FAILED AND SUGGESTED I DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT GENERAL MOTORS DOES NOT MAKE A REPLACEMENT SENSOR NOR DO ANY AFTERMARKET COMPANIES! THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SENSOR FAILURE THE VEHICLES BRAKES, EITHER ALL OR INDIVIDUALLY, COULD BE APPLIED ANY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR BY THE CAR'S COMPUTER THUS CREATING A VARIOUS DANGEROUS CONDITION. I TELEPHONED GENERAL MOTORS CHEVROLET DIVISION AND THE REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE WITH APOLOGIZED ABOUT THE VEHICLES BEHAVIOR AND THEN CONFIRMED THERE "WAS A PROBLEM" BUT COULDN'T HELP ME AS THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. IT IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS TO DESIGN A VEHICLE THAT INCORPORATES AN INTERNAL COMPONENT THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL TO THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE, OCCUPANTS, AND ALL THOSE AROUND IT AND NOT SUPPLY A REPLACEMENT PART THUS RENDERING THE VEHICLE "GROUNDED" FOREVER. *TR

STARTED HEARING SQUEALING SOUNDS A FEW WEEKS AGO. NOTICED THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY HAD A NOTICEABLE WOBBLE. DID A GOOGLE SEARCH & FOUND MULTIPLE REPORTS ON FORUMS, YOUTUBE AND SUCH OF OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO MY FRIEND WITH THE SAME CAR BUT A NEWER YEAR JUST HAD IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CAR IS OFF WARRANTY BUT A HARMONIC BALANCER SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT IN SIX YEARS WITH JUST 7,500 MILES (YES, SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED). MY 2000 FORD EXPEDITION HAS 151K. CHEVROLET WANTS ABOUT $1,000 TO REPLACE IT. *TR *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING MY CORVETTE DOWN I10 AT NIGHT WHEN MY LOW-BEAMS DISENGAGED, PLACING ME IN THE DARK AND ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK. I DROVE REST OF THE WAY WITH MY HIGH-BEAMS. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I STARTED IT, THE LOW-BEAMS CAME ON, BUT AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES THEY BOTH WENT OFF. THE HIGH-BEAMS STILL WORKED. I WENT TO A LOCAL CORVETTE-CERTIFIED MASTER MECHANIC WHO CHECKED THE BULBS, FUSES, RELAYS, AND ELECTRICAL. HE SAID THAT IT APPEARED TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE FUSE BLOCK. HE WANTED A LOT OF MONEY TO REPLACE IT, SO I HELD OFF TO CHECK IT OUT SOME MORE. EVERY DAY, ONCE MY CAR BECAME WARM, EITHER FROM RUNNING OR FROM THE ARIZONA SUN, MY LOW-BEAMS WOULD TURN OFF. I WENT TO THE CORVETTE FORUM, THE LARGEST CORVETTE ONLINE COMMUNITY, AND THE MEMBERS KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON IMMEDIATELY. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY FUSE BLOCK AND THAT MANY C6 CORVETTES HAD THE SAME ISSUE...AS THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HEATED UP, THE RUNNING LIGHTS FAILED. THEY TOLD ME LET MY CAR RUN UNTIL THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THEN PLACE A BAG OF ICE ON THE FUSE BLOCK. I DID AND WITHIN 10 MINUTES THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. THE FOLKS IN THE FORUM SAID THAT THIS WAS A WELL-KNOWN SAFETY-DEFECT IN THE CORVETTE WORLD AND THAT CHEVY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. I WENT TO THE CHEVY DEALER AND TOLD ONE OF THE SERVICE MANAGERS. SHE DISAPPEARED FOR 10 MINUTES AND WHEN SHE CAME BACK TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. THEY IGNORED WHAT I TOLD THEM AND SAID THEY WOULD NEED HALF A DAY TO EXPLORE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THAT EVEN THEN, THEY MAY NOT FIND THE ISSUE. THE CORVETTE FORUM RECOMMENDED THAT I REPORT THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. HERE IS JUST ONCE OF THEIR LINKS WHICH REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM.

ENGINE
UPON TAKING MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE IT WAS DISCOVERED BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT THE BOLT HOLDING THE HARMONIC BALANCER IN PLACE HAD BACKED ITSELF OUT. THIS ALLOWED THE HARMONIC BALANCER TO DO EXCESSIVE DAMAGE TO SEVERAL ENGINE COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE OIL PAN. ACCORDING TO TECHNICIAN FIRE COULD HAVE ENSUED OR CAR COULD'VE SUFFERED A SEVERE LOSS OF TRACTION FROM THE SUBSTANTIAL OIL LEAK. GENERAL MOTORS HAS ISSUED A "TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN" OUTLINING REPAIR PROCEDURES TO BE PERFORMED AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AT NO COST TO CUSTOMERS WITH CARS IN A SPECIFIC VIN SERIES. AFTER LOOKING UP THE TSB MY CAR IS NOT IN SAID VIN SERIES EVEN THOUGH PROBLEM IS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN TSB. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF. AFTER FURTHER INCIDENTS I DISCOVERED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WORK PROPERLY WHEN THE CAR IS COLD THEN AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES THE LO-BEAMS GO OUT. HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LIGHT FUNCTION STILL WORKS PROPERLY. THE DASH INDICATOR ON DASH INDICATES LIGHTS ARE ON EVEN WHEN THEY ARE NOT. IT APPEARS TO BE A THERMAL PROBLEM. YOU CAN DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE AND THE HEADLIGHTS WORK PROPERLY. PARK THE CAR AND DRIVE IT A SHORT TIME LATER AND THE HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK. I'VE DISCOVERED OTHERS ON THE INTERNET HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2005 CORVETTE AND THEY ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUSE BOX. *TR
