general problems of the 1999 Chevrolet Corvette

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.

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.

"takata recall" my traction control comes on all the time and I sometimes have a pull on the right rear tire. The car is in motion. Street. This happens continuously. This started around early part of 2013. I have no idea what type of photo you want.

1997 thru 2000 chevy Corvettes have had abs / traction control problems since their orginal production . The problem is gm never fixed the problem until the 2001 model year and this part does not fit the 1997 - 2000 autos . They no longer make parts to fix the problem, and the abs module can not be repaired by after market repair facilities . So now we have thousands of vehicles on the road with a problem that can not be repaired . Their are many complaints about this problem on the gm forums sites . I feel a big problem with this is since this is a Corvette these cars are not going away and will be on the road for many decades to come as they are a collectable vehicle . I do believe gm has the responceability to fix this problem or at least release info to aftermarket repair facilities so they can be repaired . Or make a part so these cars can be repaired and be on our hiways safe . In their own words in their owners manual they say if the abs / traction / handling control light is on to see a dealer as soon as possible, that's great but they can not fix the problem as they have no parts to fix it . Thank you.
