2001 Chevrolet Corvette coupe with 50,000 miles service abs, active handling and traction control warning appeared intermittently, about 6 times in the last 3 months. Longest it stayed that way was for a week. Abs, traction control and active handling were disabled which I believe was a serious safety issue. It could happen just before or during an emergency situation. Many other owners of this model had the same problem - see Corvette forums.
Upon application of brakes at highway speeds, when the driver then lets off of the brakes, the pedal stays down and the brakes are still applied.
Brake pedal sticks when you just tap it to slow down. Pedal does not spring back up after inital tap. I have to place my foot behind brake pedal to lift t pedal back up.
Brakes do not fully release. When brakes applied and repleased, they stuck and continued to brake. Dealer acknowledged problem, but will not replace brake booster which seemed to be culprit because it appeared to be operational to spec.
Vehicle will pull to left or right while braking. Consumer must hold steering wheel tightly even at low speeds or will lose control of vehicle. The tire manufacturer and the independent alignment specialists state that the problem is with the suspension.
