general problems of the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette

The electronic brake control module (ebcm) p/n 10343433 all of a sudden failed. As a result the dash computer error code c1214 for the anti-lock brake system, traction control has been coming on constantly. My wife has to press the reset button when she put the key in, when the car is started and when it is shut off. This ebcm is not available through any web site or dealer and is back ordered. The problem with this failure is that if you step too firmly on the gas peddle, the car will go out of control possibly causing an accident. Again without the ebcm, the traction control and anti-lock brake system are disabled. This is a very grave hazard should an owner not be aware of what happens if the ebcm module fails. A recall should be issued immediately.

The abs control module has become non-functional. This eliminates the safety aspect of anti-lock braking, traction control, active handling, and anti-skid control. Chevrolet no longer supplies this critical element to my car's safety and performance. The digital information display center flashes that these safety elements need servicing, which is also a safety impairment because I cannot get any display of other functions of the car, I. E. Mileage, fuel warning, options, and trip information. The part number is 10343433 (abs control module). This is an ac/delco number and none are in stock anywhere is the united states. I was told by multiple dealers that none are available and general motors will no longer supply this critical safety item again! this is a horrible support service on something so critical to the safety of a very expensive automobile. The response by general motors is selfish and uncaring. If you type abs control module for Corvette series c5 in google, you will find an unlimited resource of complaints. I believe this will be a series of accidents waiting to happen that will cause personal injury and death on our highways. Please investigate and take action.

I bought this Corvette to celebrate the defeat of beat cancer. I dreamed of owning a Corvette since I was 10 years old, I've experienced so much heartache, I figured, I don't have too many good years left, I might as well, give my dream a chance, ha!! no, instead it has been a night mare, it's driving me crazier than I was, about to cause me a divorce, had electrical issues since day one!! has been worked on numerous times by allen, the crook I bought it from, a private mechanic who didn't want to "get involved", a dealer in owensboro ky, who didn't want me to drive it home for safety reasons, however, that's over 2 hours from home and I had no choice, but, a true gm dealership, and 1 of the biggest gm dealerships in the area in benton ky, twice, the first time when I picked it up, I went straight to my bank ptfcu, and it died there and I had to have a wrecker take it back!! but mike reid at country Chevrolet, as well as larry stovesand in paducah ky, both, know beyond the shadow of a doubt that the car was water damage, all 3 dealers have withheld that documentation from me, but mike reid did tell my husband he came out of his office to look for himself and yes, there was water damage. However, just like everyone else, they don't want to "get involved" !! jimmy allen has caused me allot of money I didn't have because a lawyer took my money, mailed jimmy allens attorney before he did me a letter saying I no longer had representation, when allen was supposed to buy it back months ago. I had to go to chuck hutton in memphis TN, to even get a real carfax, the service dept told me they got rid of it after 1 day because of so many problems, and that it had been paid off in a settlement, twice!! the car is the devil, I'm convinced, and it's been wrecked in front left and rear left with odometer fraud.

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Corvette z06. While the contact was driving approximately 50 to 60 mph, an unintended braking engagement occurred without prior warning. The "service active handling" warning light indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The failure occurred intermittently and progressed to whenever the vehicle was in operation. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis where they were unable to duplicate the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.

The problem started as a highly intermittent warning that the abs, traction control, and active handling suspension system needed to be serviced. It would usually go off by shutting the car off and restarting it. Couldn't locate the problem. This year when I took the car out it reset once and then stayed on. Diagnosed it, generated dtc error code c1214, indicating a bad power relay inside the abs unit. The car now has just over 40,000 miles. To answer an obvious question, yes the problem did occur a few times while driving but it occurred primarily when starting the car. Searching the internet it seems that this is a common problem across a large range of gm vehicles using this specific abs system made by delphi. It requires replacement f the abs unit to repair.
