In December 2013 the automatic transmission suddenly lurched into a different gear as I was driving and would not properly upshift through the gears. Also the check engine light was on. I limped it to the dealer and they cleared the code somehow and gave the car back to me. I only put about 85 miles on the car in 7 months when it did it again in June 2014. I nursed it to the dealer where they diagnosed it as a bad transmission control module(after telling me the battery and ignition switch needed to be replaced which was not correct). The bill was $1328. I picked up the car and drove it home where the same thing happened as I neared my house and the transmission again lurched into a different gear and wouldn't shift through the gears properly. Again I nursed it back to the dealer and they claimed the first module they put in was bad and replaced it. Needless to say this didn't sound to me right but there wasn't anything I could do at this point. I put approximately 850 miles on the car in 11 months and had been experiencing intermittent times when the shifter would not come out of park without numerous attempts. I brought it in in may 2015 for the headlight recall and told them of the difficulty getting it out of park. They said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I put less than 200 miles on the car in 4 months when the transmission got stuck in park,in my garage and the transmission shifter cable broke as I attempted to get it into gear. This was September 2015. The car had to be jacked up and put into neutral underneath and pushed out of my garage so it could be towed to the dealer. This trip cost me $873 for a new shifter and shifter cable replacement. I have now read where this is a common occurrence on the 2005 Corvette and I feel a recall should be instituted to replace these defective parts at the manufacturers expense. I am the original owner. Thank you.
