I purchased my 2005 Corvette c6 from a used car dealership on 4/30/2023. The car was fine for the first week. The second week I began getting a lot of error codes specifically: service active handling system service traction control service abs shocks inoperative service fuel system. At times it would go into limp mode. I would find a safe place to pull off. I would shut the car off and it would not restart. I would check the relays under the hood and the passenger floorboard. Eventually it would restart and drive again until the next time. I have replaced the following components: battery cables with factory replacement new battery, twice new high output alternator and a new belt. These items solved the many codes. Now I get service traction system, and the traction control shuts off. When this happened last, I got a p0101 maf sensor error. Replaced the maf sensor 8/13. Has not happened as of yesterday. I have checked all of the grounds, added a new ground system called the big three. I should not have to put all this work into a well documented issue not only in the c6 but other models.
While driving 70+mph on an interstate, "reduced power mode" and "service active handling" warnings illuminated on the dic aong with the check engine light. The vehicle then completely shut off making it extremely dangerous to get safely out of the paths of other vehicles. This has happened to the vehicle about 8 times now in varying circumstances, mostly while in motion. Error codes taken from handheld programmer include: p1516, p2101, p2135.
Service active handling system message appears intermittingly, vehicle was in motion. Didn't notice any handling issue but I am concerned that the car will behave in an unsafe manor.
Power steering hose leak, had dealer remove, replace. I was covered under warranty purchase, also tail lights and headlights inoperable, had dealer perform safety inspection. Items corrected. Recent purchase Jan. 2016 used.
Both rear axles have broke. One was found by a dealership's repair shop when they were looking at something else. The service tech said that the left rear axle was cracked all the way through and that it was a factory defect. The other rear axle broke several months later (about 2 months ago) as I was accelerating into rush hour traffic. Now I have a problem in the front.
Service active handling keeps coming up on my 2005 Corvette. They say the wheel positioning sensor is bad and must be replaced. . .
