The ebcm traction control module , abs control modules and the steering wheel position sensor for the c5 Corvettes made from 1997 thru 2000 are no longer manufactured by general motors or licensed to an after market manufacturer for production as an after market replacement. When these modules go bad there is a risk for accidents or death while driving as the abs system that works in conjunction with these modules will lock up one or more of the brakes causing the driver to swerve into other lanes. This happened to me when my steering wheel position sensor failed. We Corvette owners are forced to drive with the traction control off because we cannot find new replacement ebcm modules, abs modules of steering wheel position sensors . Our only recourse is to buy a used unit from a totaled 1997 thru 2000 Corvette at high prices and the are also defective at times according to Corvette fprum members. General motors continues to license after market manufacturers to make replacement ebcm modules, afbs modules and steering wheel position sensors for Corvettes manufactured in 2001 thru 2004 so why can't the license an after market auto part manufacturer to make these sensors for 1997 thru 2000 Corvettes? can the us government force gm to make these parts for the 1997 thru 2000 Corvette due to fact that these parts are vital for the 1997 thru 2000 Corvette to be safe on the road??.
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.

Was getting in vehicle too drive n steering wheel locked up after engine was cranked n running. Vehicle has a recall from NHTSA 04v060000 dealership said recall has been fixed before, n they have too charge me 600 dollars to fix problem again. Just wanting too let someone know gm is still having issues with steering wheel locking up when vehicle will crank up n run n you cant steer vehicle, may cause death or injury if it keeps up not fixing problem.
Computer message: service active handling. Per gm need part #26058286 steering position sensor which is discontinued for 1999/2000 Corvettes. They still make this part for all other model years including for 1997-98 Corvettes. This could cause the traction control system to apply the brakes and/or perform other functions, when it shouldn't, causing erractic unsafe driving conditions. I am afraid to drive it and cannot sell it as is.
Called Chevrolet about campaign nthsa id # 04v060000, action # ea02031 involving sterring colum locks up due to malfunction in anti theft device. Chevrolet indicated they preformed recall allready by reprogram of module controlling that problem and would take no further action even though the exact same problem is occuring. I indicated that a simple additional reprogramming of the said module would more than likely solve the problem and they indicated it had been done and would not be able to help.
