general problems of the 2000 Chevrolet Corvette

I experienced loss of control by skidding and almost leaving the road toward a dropoff while applying the brake since the abs, active handling, traction control systems have been malfunctioning at 35mph on a mountain road applying the brake as I was going around a sharp curve I believe the cause of this malfunction of the abs/ah system is a faulty ebcm which is known by countless members of the Corvette owners community as a safety issue that should have been recalled a long time ago. If I would have known about this issue without an active recall I would not have bought the car. Several times this has happened in varied situations and I cannot rely on these safety features to save my life if something occurs that would send me out of control into another vehicle or over a steep cliff like in the close call I mentioned earlier in this text. Gm does not value my life as much as I do and this recall would have bankrupted them shortly after 2000. I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands of wrecked Corvettes and loss of life due to this failure to recall them so they should be able to afford it 20 years later.

Tl- the contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated while driving at various speeds intermittenly the turn signals fail to illuminate. The vehilce was not diagnosed. The manufacturer were made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 54,000. Az.

After the car was started and I began to drive ,it would shut off the motor and lock the steering wheel. All the lights would work fine,but the steering wheel locked untill I came to a stop and would turn off the motor and restart the engine. It was very scary because I could not pull over to the side of the road and restart the motor. I would have to stop in the middle of the road and start it. When I took the car into the dealer they said it was the key and key fob that was pulling the key out of the ignition and had to replace the entire key switch. This cost me $341. 28 . I asked about any recalls or other people having the same problem and the reported to me that it is a common ocurance in the Corvette. Sounds like what was and is going on now and I think I should be paid back the money I spent by gm.

Column lock on 200 Corvette failed, immobilizing vehicle. This device was subject to several prior recalls, but the replacement's design is still defective. Chevrolet dealer said that the recall has expired, so I had to pay for tow, parts/labor, and time off work. This amounts to nearly $1000. Since this is a safety-related design flaw, the recall should be reinstituted and I should be compensated.

In August 07 my 2000 Corvette coupe ebcm failed. The car has only 40,000 miles on it & is only driven on weekends. I am a mechanic by trade. I removed the module & had it rebuilt for $200 since gm quoted me $1300 for a new one. The repairs I made fixed the problem. *updated 12/12/07 the consumer stated the traction control, active handling and abs light illuminated. Updated 12/12/07.

Turn signals and hazard lights do not work all the time. When hot they do not work at all.

Tl the contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 04v060000 (steering); however, the oem replacement part failed. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer (rick hendrick city Chevrolet, 5101 e independence blvd, charlotte, nc 28212, (980) 242-5621) within months due to the ignition locking and the security alarm randomly activating, which caused the vehicle to completely shut down. The vehicle was towed to a second dealer (fred caldwell Chevrolet, 974 bethel st, clover, SC 29710, 1-888-692-6546 and 1-803-222-4581). The manufacturer was contacted several times over the years and was aware that various fifth edition vehicles were affected. The manufacturer had not developed a newly designed oem part and expected the contact to have the part replaced a third time. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA action numbers: ea02031 (steering) and pe02054 (steering). The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was not available.

Eratic fuel readings, right rear tire sensor keeps going out this was replaced once already. Engine has knocking noise injectors were cleaned did not help. Wind noise from left window.

While driving 5 mph the steering wheel without any warning locked up. Dealer notified. The radio quit, directional switch, power doors/switch, and the door unlatched while the vehicle was in motion and while parked.

1. Fuel gauge drops to empty when I have around 1/2 a tank, low fuel light comes on. Have to put gas in to make light go out. I have to use odometer to keep track of how fuel I have used and how far can I go, because this will happen at any time. This happens all the time, every time. 2. Turn signals quit working at any time they please. I have to put the 4-ways on for about 5 seconds and then off to make the signals work again.
