Starter Solenoid Problems of Chevrolet Corvette

Vehicle often stuck in park ( automatic ), will not move to other gears. Known issue with brake solenoid ( part of shifter in 2005 model ). It is unreliable and allows for dangerous situations - would not move despite numerous attempts after sitting on a highway due to an accident traffic jam. Symptom has no standard occurances - cold, warmed up, flat ground, up/down hill. Remedy sheer luck that is unlocks. The situation is worsening, making the car unsafe to drive. This condition has continued since I purchased the car in June 2006, continues to worsen. Gm apparently addressed this early after release in 2005, has ignored it since. Gm has a repair option - a new shifter without the solenoid ( knows the problem ) for approx a $1000 repair.

Frequently unable to shift out of park once the car is started. Shift interlock solenoid seems to be faulty. Vehicle is always stationary in a parking space. Sometimes I turn it off and try again and it works. Very annoying.

Automatic transmission shifter will lock in park, cannot shift from park to reverse or drive. Referred to operators manual but no resolve. Condition began with less than 6,500 miles on the car. Will shift out of park sometimes; and is unpredictable; will occur anywhere at anytime which is a safety issue without regard as to where the driver may be located. Extensive research has proven this is a design flaw with the shift interlock solenoid that was corrected by gm for the 2006 models. Urgent to recall for all 2005 models with this shifter design.

Car will not shift out of park. Many owners have the same problem. The shift lock solenoid fails and you cannot get car into gear.

The automatic shift lever locks in the park position. The vehicle cannot be shifted from park to reverse or drive. The owners manual lists a procedure to follow in the event of this happening. It may or may not solve the problem on every occasion. There are reports of total failure with the vehicle needing a tow to the dealership for repair. The ultimate solution is a complete shifter replacement due to a faulty solenoid not available as separate part in the shifter assembly. There is a gm service procedure for this problem but the ultimate cost to the owner is in the $800. 00 to $1200. 00 range with many owners reporting issues for the 2005-06 model years. A design change was instituted after the 2006 build year. There has been no participation from gm for the failures.

Transmission sometimes sticks in park & will not come out. The solenoide sticks & will not release.

2001 Corvette convertible, the abs/traction control system has failed twice, once at 40,000 miles then after having it replaced it failed again at approximately 75,000 miles. It is the abs module and control valve, the code is c1214, which states set current-solenoid relay coil open. It's failure causes complete and total loss of the abs safety features as well as the safety features of the traction control lost. These failures can lead to loss of traction while turning or on slippery surface as well loss of control of vehicle during emergency braking or attempting to stop quickly or on wet or icy surfaces. This could lead to accidents resulting in serious injury or even death. The first defective abs module and valve were replaced and I no longer have them, however the current defective abs module and valve are still in the car and available.
