Almost every C5 (1997-2004) Corvette is affected by a faulty electronic brake control module. When this module fails, the car illuminates the ABS and traction control light. And displays service abs and service traction control messages. This is a serious safety issue as when this happens, the abs brakes no longer work nor does the traction control. It blows my mind how this has never been recalled especially on a rear drive sports car.

Still having a problem with the steering column locking on my 1999 Corvette after the first recall was performed. Chevrolet issued a second recall but I never received a notification. the dealer indicated both recalls were closed and I had to pay $600+ to fix the problem. I contacted GM Customer Care for assistance but pretty much got the same feedback that the recall was closed and that there was no financial assistance they would provide, 100% of the cost would be my responsibility. I don't understand how a safety recall can be closed until it is repaired? I'm not sure why consumers have to pay for a design issue that has the potential of causing an accident due to the potential of the steering column locking up while driving! I had no choice but to direct the dealer to perform the repairs so I can drive the car with confidents it won't lockup in the future. Not expecting anything to happen as it seems these types of reported issues fall in favor of businesses and no longer the consumers. Just wanted to post this complaint out of frustration!

My corvette as well as many others from 97-04 suffer from the active handling abs/traction control system going bad. The part IS known as the ebcm. When it goes bad (if cruise IS engaged) the car will disable cruise control suddenly causing car to slow down. Also, when the system fails while moving it cause cause uneven brake feeling and you loose the ABS and traction control systems . Gm has discontinued the parts required to repair this and this issue has been major safety concerns for many years now affecting many 97-04 corvettes. Also a part of this system IS the steeling wheel position sensor which IS also discontinued. Swps can send wrong info to the other computers and the car will make erroneous 'corrections' that can lead to brakes being applied at any moment while driving.

I am the third owner of this car and it has 24,500 original miles. at 19,000 (4/19/2004) the steering column lock recall was performed. then in 2006 it was announced that even those initial recall repairs were failing and it was suggested to have the locking pin removed altogether which never was done to my car. my car currently has a locked pin and the dealer says they will not do the repair or remove the pin for free unless I file a complaint with the nhta.

My steering column failed in "locked" position. Car can not be driven. I called chevy global and told my car was not covered in recall number 04006c. I called dealer and was told the steering column was fixed in 2004, two years before the 2006 recall. I asked how could the column lock if the original lock plate was removed? No one can answer that. They proceeded to remove the lock plate and charge me $300. I never received any notification of this recall or service bulletin back in 2006.

The driver's side seat belt will not retract. it IS extended all the way out. therefore, it will not fit nor will it protect anyone from injury. I find this to be a seatbelt defect and a major safety hazard.

The ecbm (ABS module) goes out on a huge percentage of these cars from 1997 - 1999 and you lose ABS with your braking which IS dangerous and you also loose traction control which IS also dangerous. The early C5 corvettes have this problem with the ecbm going out and nobody will fix it nor are there any parts available. Chevrolet should take care of this issue as it greatly affects safety in their flagship vehicle.

My 1999 chevrolet corvette has been into a dealer 8 times for the same "column lock" security message which shuts down the fuel line and immobilizes the vehicle. there have been 3 general motors recalls and none have fixed the problem. this shut down can cause the vehicle to shut down at any moment in time potentially causing a fatal accident for me, my family, or someone else. the problem begins with a message "pull key wait ten seconds". after this occurs a few times the "column lock" message comes on and the vehicle shuts down right on the spot. all 7 of the 8 visits have resulted in "band aid" fixes. gm has not fixed the problem. if you look on line you will see some temporary fixes and identify that this IS a major issue with this type of vehicle. gm has apparently "written off" this problem which dates back to the first recall in 1999. this action can occur when the vehicle IS stationary or when you attempt to move the vehicle when you release the clutch. immediately upon releasing the clutch the engine shuts off because the fuel line IS shut down. it happens when the vehicle IS first started as well. personally I have incurred two towing expenses. my current chevrolet dealer has been extremely understanding and not charged me for "band aid" fix. however, the last time he indicated that there will no more "goodwill" fixes. my concern IS a fatal accident if the vehicle was to stop on the highway or while making a turn or on a highway. please help us owners by demanding that gm fix this problem. it appears to be another "ignition" cover up over the years. I do not want anyone in my family or other person to die because of gms negligence.

Headlights randomly turn off while driving. this was recalled on many other gm vehicles including the C6 model, but has not been recalled for the same issue on my 1999 C5, which IS a low-mileage, always garaged vehicle. there are many other owners with the same issue, and there are certainly other complaints. this IS a serious and dangerous safety issue and the recall should be expanded to include this vehicle.

I called my chevy dealer [xxx] and they said a recall had been done in 2000 for a plastic part to stop belt twisting and no further recall would be honored. But this IS not the problem!

In 2001, general motors (gm) issued customer service campaigns 1044 and 1044a to address a condition where the steering column would fail to unlock during the initial key-in and start-up in certain my 1998-2000 corvette vehicles.however, odi continued to receive complaints concerning steering column lockup on corvette vehicles.as a result, pe02-054 was opened and later upgraded to ea02-031 for my 1997-2001 subject vehicles.odi's analysis identified concerns with post-repair failures in vehicles serviced through the campaigns, as well as, failures in my 1997-2003 subject vehicles not included in the campaigns.(note: the manufacturer failure data above IS limited to my 1997-2003 vehicles through 10/17/2003.)on february 6, 2004, gm notified nhtsa of a safety defect in my 1997-2004 corvette vehcles equipped with manual transmissions and my 1997-2000 corvette vehicles with automatic transmissions.the notification stated that if the voltage at the powertrain control module (pcm), which was designed to shut down the fuel supply when the steering column failed to unlock and the customer tried to drive the vehicle, IS low or interrupted, the fuel shut off may not occur.as a result, the customer could drive the vehicle while the steering column was locked causing the driver to lose steering control and possibly crash without warning.gm will instruct owners to bring their vehicles to a dealer to have the pcm reprogrammed for manual transmission vehicles and the electric column lock disabled for automatic transmission vehicles.odi will monitor the effectiveness of the remedy in the manual transmission vehicles and take further action if warranted.

Odi opened this ea00-009 on march 16, 2000, to continue analyses begun under preliminary evaluation pe99-076.the alleged defect: lap belt webbing in both seating positions tends to fold over while entering the retractor opening.these folds frequently impede proper webbing retraction.if the retractor has been inadvertently toggled into automatic lock retractor (alr) mode by being extended to its full length, it may fail to reset itself to the normal emergency lock retractor (elr) mode.such a condition has been shown to render the active restraint unusable.conclusion: gm will remedy the alleged defect in 71,569 subject vehicles built prior to august 1999 by adding webbing guide inserts to the lap retractor openings of both seating positions to prevent the admission of folded webbing onto the retractor spool.this engineering analysis has been closed.
