The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Corvette. While driving 35 mph, the front driver side brake intermittently seized and pulled the vehicle to the left. The contact mentioned that an unknown warning sensor illuminated. The dealer stated that a stare within the steering column needed to be installed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The VIN was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 14,200.
While making a left hand turn from a stopped position the right front brakes started to pulse and grab not allowing me to accelerate more than a crawl. Warning light on dash traction control / active handling illuminates. I was able to limp out of the intersection and come to a stop in a parking lot. With the steering wheel and wheels straight, I again tried to accelerate but the brakes still grabbed. I put the car in park and tried turning off the traction control and active handling by pressing the button on the center arm rest area. Still showing the same message and still not driving correctly. I then shut off the car and restarted. Back to normal driving. Two days later while turning left again, but this time while going 10 mph, I felt the brakes again start to pulse and grab but it corrected itself without me having to restart the car. I do have power telescoping wheel that does retract every time I exit the car. I brought it in to van chevy today but they found no codes and did say the clip that was installed as part of a recall was still in place. Other than replacing the steering wheel position sensor they do not know what to do or what is wrong. I have had many gm cars before but this issue really scares me.
