THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE HUB SPEED SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 7,135....UPDATED 12/06/16 *BF *TR
CATASTROPHIC ABS SYSTEM FAILURE. WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 30 MPH ON DRY PAVEMENT, THE TAIL END OF THE CAR SUDDENLY FISHTAILED LEFT THEN RIGHT, TURNING AROUND 180 DEGREES, TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL. THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL STRUCK THE CURB OF THE MEDIAN, SEVERELY BENDING THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL, AND DAMAGING THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING TOO. UPON EXAMINATION OF THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE AND MAIN ENGINE HARNESS PLUG THAT CONNECTS TO IT, I FOUND MASSIVE ELECTRICAL DAMAGE WITH A HOLE BURNED COMPLETELY THROUGH THE PLUG AND RECEPTACLE, AND PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD OF THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE. THE ENTIRE ABS PUMP ASSEMBLY AND EBCM HAD TO BE REPLACED AND A NEW PLUG SPLICED INTO THE MAIN ENGINE HARNESS. I NOTIFIED GM BUT THEY REFUSED TO STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT OR HELP WITH THE REPAIR.
SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLIBG SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON AFTER HAVING NEW BRAKES INSTALLED. HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR REPLACED. AFTER ABOUT 1 MONTH THE LIGHT STARTED COMING BACK ON AND SHIFTER STARTED LOCKING UP IN PARK. AFTER 1 MONTH HAD SHIFTER ASSYEMBLY REPLACED, STARTED TO LOCK UP AGAIN, THEY REPLACED SHIFTER ASSEMBLY SAYING IT WAS A BAD PART. AFTER ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH THE SHIFTER STARTED LOCKING UP AGAIN. GOING TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE BRAKING SENSOR AGAIN AS THEY FORGOT TO CHECK THE OTHER DAY FORGETING THEY REPLACED IT. I AM 60, GOING TO RADIATION APPOINTMENTS AND THIS IS VERY UNACCEPTABLE FOR THE CALLIBER OF A CORVETTE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR
LEFT REAR BRAKE WAS APPLIED WHEN DRIVING OVER 60 MPH CAUSING CAR TO SLOW DOWN AND SLIDE TO THE LEFT. ACTIVE HANDLING ON SHOWED ON DASH OF MY 2008 CORVETTE. *TR
