Vehicle was part of mandatory recall for problems with steering column lock. The same identified and inherent problem happened so that the steering column lock is engaged and will not disengage. GM was contacted and refuses support and stated that I would have to take care of the problem and I would have to pay for the cost of the repair. Chevrolet created the problem, is well aware of the inherent problem and yet Chevrolet and it's local dealer will profit from the forcing the customer to pay and for customers safety. The steering column can lock up while the vehicle is moving which puts the operator and others including vehicles, pedestrians and structures in harms way.

If I leave it parked for several months and don't drive it, the fuel tank will be empty when I start it up. the fuel smell appears to be coming from the middle of the car. this has been happening for the last four or five years. I will only park the vehicle in open areas and won't park it in a garage due to fear of build up of gas fumes.

The car has developed a condition where the steering column lock fails to unlock the steering column when the vehicle IS started. a message appears in the dic display telling you to pull the key and wait 10 seconds. it shuts off the fuel supply if you attempt to drive it. chevrolet acknowledged this condition existed in 2006 via a letter. the car only had a little over 5K miles on it at the time and now has only 43K on the odometer. per my phone call with them today they feel they are no longer responsible. the first time this happened I had backed into the road and the car died leaving me in dire jeapordy. can anything be done to make them honor this defect in this very expensive automobile? note....this has been happening since the summer of 2018 intermittently.

I inherited my fathers 2003 corvette convertible in january of 2017, I have not driven it much and it only has 14000 miles on it. I recently filled it up after about an hour long drive. the day and weeks following my garage has smelled heavily of gas fumes. I recently began doing some research on this topic and found that apparently this IS a common problem with this year model corvette. the online forums I have read point out this could cause a fire while driving as well as create a explosion hazard in your garage. one even suggested there might have been a recall on this problem, but after researching I found no such recall. I am fearful that if this problem IS a common problem someone will or may have already died due to this issue.

The electronic brake control module (ebcm) p/n 10343433 all of a sudden failed. as a result the dash computer error code c1214 for the anti-lock brake system, traction control has been coming on constantly. my wife has to press the reset button when she put the key in, when the car IS started and when it IS shut off. this ebcm IS not available through any web site or dealer and IS back ordered. the problem with this failure IS that if you step too firmly on the gas peddle, the car will go out of control possibly causing an accident. again without the ebcm, the traction control and anti-lock brake system are disabled. this IS a very grave hazard should an owner not be aware of what happens if the ebcm module fails. a recall should be issued immediately.

I bought this corvette to celebrate the defeat of beat cancer. I dreamed of owning a corvette since I was 10 years old, I've experienced so much heartache, I figured, I don't have too many good years left, I might as well, give my dream a chance, ha!! No, instead it has been a night mare, it's driving me crazier than I was, about to cause me a divorce, had electrical issues since day one!! Has been worked on numerous times by allen, the crook I bought it from, a private mechanic who didn't want to "get involved", a dealer in owensboro ky, who didn't want me to drive it home for safety reasons, however, that's over 2 hours from home and I had no choice, but, a true gm dealership, and 1 of the biggest gm dealerships in the area in benton ky, twice, the first time when I picked it up, I went straight to my bank ptfcu, and it died there and I had to have a wrecker take it back!! But mike reid at country chevrolet, as well as larry stovesand in paducah ky, both, know beyond the shadow of a doubt that the car was water damage, all 3 dealers have withheld that documentation from me, but mike reid did tell my husband he came out of his office to look for himself and yes, there was water damage. however, just like everyone else, they don't want to "get involved" !! Jimmy allen has caused me allot of money I didn't have because a lawyer took my money, mailed jimmy allens attorney before he did me a letter saying I no longer had representation, when allen was supposed to buy it back months ago. I had to go to chuck hutton in memphis tn, to even get a real carfax, the service dept told me they got rid of it after 1 day because of so many problems, and that it had been paid off in a settlement, twice!! The car IS the devil, I'm convinced, and it's been wrecked in front left and rear left with odometer fraud.

Strong smell of gasoline after filling the fuel tank. I do not see any drips or puddles, but the odor IS very strong. I do not notice the odor while driving. I can only detect it if the vehicle IS parked in the garage. I had the car parked in the garage the day before with a nearly empty tank, and there was no odor. This appears to be a known issue with later vin 2003 corvette and all 2004 corvettes. *tr

The ABS control module has become non-functional. this eliminates the safety aspect of anti-lock braking, traction control, active handling, and anti-skid control. chevrolet no longer supplies this critical element to my car's safety and performance. the digital information display center flashes that these safety elements need servicing, which IS also a safety impairment because I cannot get any display of other functions of the car, i.e. Mileage, fuel warning, options, and trip information. the part number IS 10343433 (ABS control module). this IS an ac/delco number and none are in stock anywhere IS the united states. I was told by multiple dealers that none are available and general motors will no longer supply this critical safety item again! this IS a horrible support service on something so critical to the safety of a very expensive automobile. the response by general motors IS selfish and uncaring. if you type ABS control module for corvette series C5 in google, you will find an unlimited resource of complaints. I believe this will be a series of accidents waiting to happen that will cause personal injury and death on our highways. please investigate and take action.

I was driving north on interstate 95 in miami, florida, I changed lanes and could no longer control steering, car seem to go the way it wanted to. It steered to left to the right back to the left across 3 lanes of traffic and I ended up going southbound in the northbound lanes. With the help of god I was able to put the car in park, start it up again, back up, turn it around and head the right way, which was northbound, considering the traffic on I-95 I should have been hit by numerous cars during that time, but with god's help it didn't happen. I noticed on dashboard that it stated to service active handling. I decided to do some research and there have been numerous complaints related to this same incident and some recalls also. My life could have taken during this incident. I had just purchased 2 new front tires and 2 rear shocks for my car before this happened only 6 days before, car has always been kept in good running condition.

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.
