Abs Brake Fail Problems of Chevrolet Corvette

Catastrophic abs system failure. While traveling about 30 mph on dry pavement, the tail end of the car suddenly fishtailed left then right, turning around 180 degrees, totally out of control. The right rear wheel struck the curb of the median, severely bending the right rear wheel, and damaging the right rear wheel bearing too. Upon examination of the electronic brake control module and main engine harness plug that connects to it, I found massive electrical damage with a hole burned completely through the plug and receptacle, and printed circuit board of the electronic brake control module. The entire abs pump assembly and ebcm had to be replaced and a new plug spliced into the main engine harness. I notified gm but they refused to stand behind the product or help with the repair.

I slammed on my brakes and my abs brakes failed, my car could not stop and I narrowly missed hitting the car in front of me. I had my car diagnosed at john l sullivan Chevrolet and was told that my abs "electronic brake control module" failed and there are no replacement parts available from the dealer or aftermarket. I went online to the Corvetteforum. Com and found out that there are hundreds of Corvette owners with the same problem. There are no fixes for this. I couldn't believe that gm could not address this issue and have parts available. This problem includes Corvettes manufactured from 1998-2004. I would like to know what it takes to make this a recall issue. This is a serious issue and I'm afraid to let my family drive my car.

The traction control and abs system does dot work because the abs module has failed and there are no after market repairs or parts.

I know I am not the 1st to report this same condition. You should have several 100 of us if not 1000's, who are experiencing abs failures which affects the traction control modules (also called electronic brake traction control model)( ebtcm) on all Corvette's made from 97-2007 that I am aware of. We continue to experience the abs & traction control module failures and gm says they can't fix it due to lack of parts. My vehicle does not have the active handling system but others do and this has to be a safety concern for the NHTSA. You have 40,000 high performance Corvette's on the road with electronic controls that do not work for the anti-lock brake systems, traction control, and active handling for stability control and no spare parts available from gm? how can that be? there is a 10% chance aftermarket companies who say they can repair these modules actually do. Many people are spending $650 to $1200 to get them repaired and it's about a 10% success rate they get repaired. Go to any Corvette forums and you will see lots of data to support what I'm telling you. Gm will never do anything about this unless NHTSA makes them. Your best advantage point to do nothing is that most Corvette owners are over the age of 40 and we drive these vehicles with respect to others on the road. I would prefer a "repair" capability not a 100% reengineered module so they can charge me $5000 for it when my vett is worth $10k. I hope this is the final data point to get some dialog from you to gm and see if there is any viable solution to these issues on the Corvettes with their long history of abs control and traction control failures with no viable repair action from gm.
