2001 Corvette. 2 years ago (1)engine check light always on (2)traction control warning lights on (3)abs warning lights on (4)low fuel warning light goes on if under 1/2 tank and gauge drops to zero fuel (5)driver side headlight will not open up (6)lights do not work on heating ,a/c directional flow these complaints from what I have read on blog sites from hundreds of other Corvette owners are very commonplace problem lies in the fact that when my warning lights are lit up I have no antilock brakes working on my car nor do I have traction control. This is extremely dangerous. Some time the lights work sometimes they go off well I am in motion. This can cause a dangerous situation if I am just hitting throttle and this occurs causing me to lose control and risking a collision. These are powerful cars even when driven in a safe manner. I own an automatic transmission and it does not take much throttle for the engine to gear down and accelerate. I stop at gen. Motors dealer frequently hoping for a campaign. To correct this problem. The same story always is that it is a defective computer board and that I am looking at approx $4000. 00 dollars to repair. Reading blog site it is the same. Some would say that if one can afford a Corvette then this should not be an issue. I say it is a serious safety issue and should not have to pay out of pocket. Am only an employee at a daycare and saved for years to purchase this car. The other common complaint is the fuel gauge but understand that with computer board replaced this will eliminate problem. Pop up headlight cost to repair $300. 00.
After starting the vehicle and driving off the engines stalled. After the vehicle was repaired, the vehicle was driven for about 600 miles and it locked up again. The vehicle was taken back to the dealership. When the vehicle was parked, a warning chime would sound. When starting the vehicle, it would only move several feet then the fuel will shut off, causing the vehicle to stall in traffic. The vehicle hadn't been able to be repaired. Other problems: the lock clyinder was not reading when the key was removed, then when the key was inserted, the vehicle read theft attempt and lock out, a column lock message appeared on the dash and there was a rattle in the drivers doors due to door speration.
2001 Chevrolet Corvette with multiple electrical problems which have which have led to multiple trips to the dealer for repairs. Most recently, the steering wheel locks while the car is on. This occured three times. It was repaired twice by the dealer and currently the car is at the dealer again. The service manager said that there is nothing wrong with the car. I'm afraid to drive this car. If the steering wheel locks when I'm on the freeway someone could get injured. The steering wheel locking problem has been recalled on the vehicle. Gm customer care will not address the problem. What should I do? they cannot fix the car nor will they replace it.
Loses power suddenly on freeway without warning. Engine dies quickly during driving without warning. Rydell Chevrolet (818)933-3000 unable to detect or fix problem after several visits. Problem persists.
I have a 2001 Corvette. Since I've owned it, several problems have occurred. The first being the drivers door lock. The car dealer replaced the module twice and then it switch itself. Then the electronic system defaulted where I couldn't start the car (twice). Had to have it towed back to the dealership. Then driving one day the fuel gauge went from showing half a tank all the way to zero. All the fuel warning lights came on. Took it into service and they reprogrammed the computer. The very next day I started the car and the steering wheel lock engaged after the car first started, (I haven't had it in gear yet). This problem concerned me and I stated that to the service manager who immediately stated it couldn't happen if I was driving the car. (really?) they repaired that. Then the gas gauge did it again. Took it in again and they replaced several items in the fuel system. Now, one tank of gas later, the gauge doesn't read properly. The low level light came on and it only took 10 gallons. Took it back into the dealer and they don't know how to fix it so they're talking with gm engineers. Also there were several other 2001 Corvette's in for the identical problem. Now (10/3/03) I have a rental car and don't have any idea when they will be able to fix mine.
We just purchased a 2001 Corvette coupe 2 months ago. I have had a problem when the signal lights (both) just quit operating--no lights, no clicking, nothing, in an instant. After a period of time, they will work again. Have taken the fuse out and reinstalled it in case it might have been loose. Seemed to work for about 2 weeks without a problem, then suddenly stopped working again. There is no logical sequence of events when this happens. Gm dealership put it on the computer but could not detect anything. They indicated that the signals would have to be 'not working' when I brought it in for them to tell what was happening. This is a potentially dangerous situation, especially during highway driving.
