Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Chevrolet Corvette

Reoccurrences of car losing all accleration while driving on highway, creating near pile up accidents due again on 7/16. Car gets a false warning signal that the front trunk hatch is open, when it is actually not; others report false neutral signal; the car front trunk is properly latched, and there is no actual safety concern. However, the car immediate and without warning has the driver lose all power. I have now nearly been in 3 deadly accidents due to this failure over the past few weeks. Dealers and gm have not been helpful at all. Issue is intermittent and definitely an electrical or firmware gremblin. Ive seen multiple people post about this issue on the Corvette forum as well!.

On July 1st, I had a defect in the electrical system of my Corvette nearly causing a major accident with several cars and trucks due to a immediate and unexpected loss of engine and propulsion. I was driving about 75 mph on highway in busy traffic. Car randomly and without any human input - flashed a false alarms for an open hood, although the hood was actually latched and perfectly closed. Alarms stated "close hood now, speed limited to 25 mph". Due to the fault, the car lost all ability to accelerate and quickly lost speed. As the car was going 75 at time of the alarm, the car quickly dropped speeds without any brake lights due to the false fault. I could not accelerate to keep safe speed to get to the breakdown lane. The car immediately would not respond. The semi truck and cars behind me nearly rear ended me, which I had to quickly move lanes to avoid. The new lane change resulted in other cars barely missing and all coming to a screeching halt while my car rapidly decelerated <25 mph on the busy freeway. When the fault occurred - the hood was mechanically closed and fault went away just by restarting the car/engine. Issue occurred 10:11 am on July 1 very terrifying event, but it has not yet reoccurred over past 2 days since first observed. I am reporting this as it was nearly a major accident and luckily no one was injured.

Driving and service active control system can on feel like brakes locked up, very scary.

My car has been broken for over a year now. It has been to the dealership for the main engine wiring harness part number 19115750 which is unique to the 2005 and 2006 Corvette. The failure causes several different problem. It keeps the tcm from which is the traction control module which adjust speed and traction to the wheels which is design to help drivers keep their cars under control. Without this system the car will loose traction and can cause it to go off the road. The second issue with the harness is it can put the car limp mode which restricts the speed to under 40mph which if you are driving and trying to excel into traffic this system will come in without notice and put you into a situation where if you are trying to merge or just go when the light changes it will only go like 5 mph causes the cars behind you to run into the rear of your vehicle and when if fail and you are pulling into traffic it causes your car to be in a direct line of impact with oncoming vehicle. The engine harness also provides power to the transmission via the ecm which keeps it from providing enough power to run the transmission control computer. This will make your car not go into gear or make it go completely out so without a transmission your car won’t move at all. This happens without notice. Now gm doesn’t make a replacement harness anymore making your vehicle unusable. Gm also wants between 7k and 10k to make a harness for the vehicle. This doesn’t include installation. This makes the owners like myself have to seek other means to repair the vehicle. Like having a custom harness made for vehicle. Since gm only made this harness for 2 years it has been impossible for me to get my vehicle repaired at any cost. Making owner to make decisions that are unfair to owners. Like sell the car for scrap paid the expensive repair which is like half the value of the car. Trade the car and lose thousands of dollars if you can find a dealership willing to take it.

Tl the contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while depressing of the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated to move forward and veered off to the right with the service active handling warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact restarted the vehicle and the vehicle resume normal operation. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be repaired however, the failure recurred. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.

While traveling approximately 40 mph within a left curve, the vehicle suddenly lost traction in the rear wheels sending the vehicle across the opposite lane and into the oncoming traffic shoulder. Car was traveling on a warm sunny day on a two lane country road. It is my best guess that the vehicle applied rear brakes as a means of active handling. I strongly believe if the brakes did not electronically apply, the vehicle would not have lost control.

My Corvette is a z06 that is designed and built for track use. When I use it on track it overheats and goes into limp mode after about 15 mins. Sometimes the power steer faults making it difficult and dangerous to control the car. I do not use it regularly on the street.

My car has had a problem with the instrument panel lighting improper (intensity) and speed control (erratic control) both operated improperly. I finally found a dealer that agreed there was a problem, the problem was the interface between the instrument panel and several computers in the car. In an attempt to reprogram the computers it was found the panel was so defective the computers could not be programed. It turns out the problem is so pervasive that there are no repair parts available anywhere to fix my car. It was been awaiting a part now for over 6 weeks with no idea when one will be available. So I am without the car which is inoperable until repairs are completed. It seems that if this problem so large that no parts are available nor can it be determined when they will be available there must be a significant problem you should be aware of. I have talked to Chevrolet as far up the line as the customer service office with no answer available. This took 2 years of effort to get Chevrolet to look at the car even though there were maintenance advisories out about the issue.

Just as leaving dealership for low beam recall, 2 miles, used cruise to 35 mph, 10 clicks of button to 45, then again to 55. When car reached 55, I felt the car nose forward like I cut cruise w/ tap of brake. I did not. Warning light/ cruise disengaged, still looking at dic car nosed down and squatted with warning light reduced power, this caused the car to slow to 35 and feel as though I was pumping the gas and brake alternately like when we were kids and used to watch the wife's head go back and forth. Before getting off road more lights and warnings. Its hard to say which came first, it all was happening fast and as a surprise. I know service active handling, traction control and abs messages came on. Don't think they took priority over the reduced engine power though. I remember seeing it, all the way back to the dealer. Slowed and pulled into huge lot. Now it was my head doing the back and forth dance with the car @ idle, it sounded like the main bearings weren't getting any oil and wanted out of that engine at any cost. So upset with the bearing noise, I got back on the road (picking up rpms) headed back to dealer in a limp mode (35 mph) even when the posted speed went down to 25 mph, the car did not lower rps as I pressed harder on the brakes. There is more to complain about but that will remain between the service manager, gm, and myself to resolution. Stayed at dealership approx. 10 minutes. Car started fine and I left. I always drive the same, and when the car reached 55 mph at the exact same place, it all happened again the exact same way! had to bring the car home in limp mode, about 10 miles from home. Again @ 35 mph. Car remains parked, put away, and covered, until the dealership contacts me to return with it, by Tuesday of this coming week, so sayeth the gm rep. If not he wants me to call him back.

I was driving my Corvette at approximately 40 mph. When coming out of a curve accelerated and the car pulled to the right. When applied brakes pressure it had no affect on steering and stopping the car. The car continued to go to the right in a circle until vehicle hit the guard rail. It appeared that it was in a limp mode the car had a mind of its own through acceleration the transmission and brake controls where in sync with each other and took over control of vehicle and wouldn't stop the car. I am fortunate that didn't occur on the highway with other vehicles around me, which could have created a catastrophic situation.

I was pulling out of a gas station, all of sudden my front breaks locked up. This scares me what if I am on the highway.

While driving my 2004 Corvette the active handling message come on at the dash and while driving this causes the brakes to pull the car from one side or the other suddenly and this happens very often. I am afraid this could cause the car to have a serious accident.

I was driving my car on the freeway and was changing lanes and when I changed gears to accelerate, all of a sudden I got a "service active handling" message appear out of nowhere and I felt my car jerk a little bit while driving. I did take the car in before to have a clip (service recall) placed on my steering wheel to prevent the message from coming, but it now seems like it only comes when I accelerate too quickly at freeway speeds. Champion Chevrolet in houston (off beltway 8) has seen this car multiple times for this message in the past, yet I still get it occassionally. I just want my car to be safe.

I have a 2005 Corvette. Sometimes, when I am applying the brake peddle, if my foot is slanted sideways, then I will also hit the throttle pedal also. When it first happened, I would panic and press harder on the brake pedal, which also pressed harder on the throttle pedal. Now I know to slide my foot more to the left off the gas. But it still can catch me off guard. Like today, when I almost backed through the rear of my garage. I have had the car since 2005. I am concerned that other people might be at risk.

2002 Corvette z06. Vehicle was operating normally but when I turned the corner the vehicle went to full throttle by itself. I managed to stop the vehicle but only after striking a metal post. This could have been very bad if I was at an intersection.

The vehicle was parked in a parking space in a housing area, placed in park, at the time the ignition was about to be turned off. The car took off and flew over the parking barrier, over a hedge and into a tree. The car side swiped a pole which demolished the entire left side of the vehicle, the car came to rest against a tree, striking the left front. The vehicle was still in park, the rear wheels were still spinning, when the driver was finally able to turn off the key, get out and seek help. The air bags did not work either.

Car accelerated wide open throttle on its own. At 115 mph on city street I put trans in neutral and turn off key. Had no power brakes or abs; no power steering. Was able to stop car and turn off to side road and stop without accident. Towed to dealer. Dealer and gm tech support could not find problem. Dealer paid for tow and repair attempt although out of factory warranty. Took vehicle and next evening [06/07/2001] defect reoccured but I shut it shut it down before high speed was reached. Car cannot be saely driven without concern for personal safety and safety of public. What do I do?.

While driving with cruise activated at 62 mph, active handling system engaged momentarily pulling car sharp right. This has happened seven times and the auto has been in the shop twice, most recently last month, for this problem. Technicians claim they can't find any faults with the vehicle or information on other reported incidents. This has a potential to cause an accident and I must have it fixed. Please help in any way possible. Odi id 709456 sounds like it may be the same problem but doesn't have enough information, readable, to determine if it is. Is there some way I can get information on his problem and remendy. Thanks for any help you may provide. P. S. The vehicle was purchased at hendrick Chevrolet in cary, nc but being worked on by wyatts in virginia, where I live. Thanks.
