AIR BAGS
ABS LIGHT STAYS ON. HISTORY: ON 11/17/18 BEFORE DRIVING MY VEHICLE I HAD TO ADJUST MY DRIVER'S SEAT ALL THE WAY BACK TO ACCOMMODATE MY LONG LEGS AFTER ANOTHER PERSON HAD PREVIOUSLY MOVED THE SEAT FORWARD WHEN THEY WERE SITTING IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE THE ABS LIGHT BRIEFLY FLASHED, THEN CAME ON STEADY, THEN IT AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES THE LIGHT EVENTUALLY WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE NEXT TIME I STARTED THE CAR THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, FLASHED BRIEFLY, THEN REMAINED ON STEADY. NOW, EACH TIME THE CAR IS STARTED/DRIVEN, THE ABS LIGHT BRIEFLY FLASHES DURING START UP AND THEN ALWAYS REMAINS CONSTANTLY ON AFTER THAT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 19,000 MILES ON IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
IF A SENSOR FAULTS RELATED TO THE "ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM" THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LOCKS UP. AT THAT TIME IT GIVE A "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING" NOTICE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE AT ANY SPEED IN INCLUDING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE BRAKE LOCKS UP COMPLETELY FOR ABOUT ONE SECOND BEFORE RELEASING. RESULTS IN EXTREMELY HARD PULL TO THE LEFT. VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUS RECALL SERVICE PERFORMED BUT RECALL SERVICE DOES NOT PREVENT THE LOCK UP. DATE LISTED BELOW IS THE LAST TIME AS I HAD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DISCONNECT THE SENSOR TO TURN THE SYSTEM OFF UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS DONE TO ELIMINATE FAULT THAT COULD RESULT IN A POTENTIALLY FATAL ACCIDENT.

POWER TRAIN
I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT TWICE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET WITH THIS CAR. SHIFTING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS COLD INTO 2ND GEAR FROM 1ST GEAR IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE AND APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM BASED ON MY INTERNET SEARCH. SEVERAL TIMES I'VE PULLED INTO TRAFFIC AND COULDN'T SHIFT IT INTO 2ND GEAR. BY THEN THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN WITH TRAFFIC BEARING DOWN ON IT AND YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN EVEN MORE TO GO BACK TO 1ST GEAR. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS NORMAL BUT I DISAGREE BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TO REV THE ENGINE HIGHER AND GO DIRECTLY INTO THIRD GEAR TO PROTECT MY LIFE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE GM NAVIGATION SYSTEM DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE ROUNDABOUT AT THE ENTRANCE TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS ROUNDABOUT WAS COMPLETED IN 2011, 5 YEARS BEFORE MY CORVETTE WAS BUILT. I SUBMIT THAT THE CORVETTE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IS FAULTY SINCE IT SUGGESTS I TURN LEFT ONTO OLD HUNDRED ROAD WHICH IS THE WRONG WAY ON THE ROUNDABOUT, I SUBMIT THAT THIS FAULT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

WHEELS
NOTICED A SLIGHT VIBRATION COMING FROM REAR OF CAR WHEN DRIVING ON A PAVED SMOOTH ROAD AT 65 MPH. UPON LATER INSPECTION, I DISCOVERED A 2" LONG CRACKED LR WHEEL THE CRACK IS LOCATED AT THE BASE OF ONE OF 5 SLENDER SPOKES WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE BARREL OF THE WHEEL. ANY RETAILER WHO LISTS THIS 18" FORGED ALUMINUM WHEEL IS OUT OF STOCK AS THIS UPGRADED WHEEL WAS UNDER-DESIGNED FOR THE LOADING THAT HAPPENS TO A HIGH PERFORMANCE VEHICLE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE C5 CORVETTES AND COULD RESULT IN A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT AT HIGH INTERSTATE SPEEDS.
