2005 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET CORVETTE WITH A SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL ISSUE. I FEEL IT IS A QUALITY/SAFETY CONCERN ON GENERAL MOTORS' PART AS THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STOP ABRUPT AT TIMES AT ANY SPEED. CURRENTLY NO HIGH SPEED ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED BUT FEAR THAT IT MAY HAPPEN. I SEE NO MOVEMENT ON GM'S PART TO REMEDY THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE INJURY TO MYSELF AND MAYBE OTHERS IN THE EVENT THAT THE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILS OR FAILS AT THE WRONG TIME. THE CURRENT INVESTIGATION NUMBER I AM TOLD ASSOCIATED WITH THIS IS EA09-002. *TR

INITIALLY CAR WAS INTERMITTENTLY NOT STARTING. DIC INDICATOR STATED STEERING WHEEL WAS "LOCKED". ON MARCH 11, 2011, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. UPON MY RESEARCH 1997-2004 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. MODELS 2006-2010 THE FEATURE - "STEERING COLUMN LOCK" WAS NOT INSTALLED ON THE CARS. MY CONCERN IS 2005 MODELS HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED AND COULD CAUSE POSSIBLE DEATHS OF OWNERS AND OR OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.

CONTINUED PROBLEM WITH SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE, AND OTHER SYSTEM FAILURES DUE TO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE LAST TIME I HAD THIS PROBLEM, TWO WEEKS AGO, THE FOLLOWING CODES WERE DETECTED. U2100 U2105 U2107 U2108 EVEN AFTER I HAD THE RECALL REPAIRED, JANUARY 20, 2011, I AM STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE RECALL ITSELF IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM, EITHER. MY TWO BIGGEST CONCERNS ARE: 1ST - THE SAFETY RECALL IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE, THE SAFETY ISSUE REMAINS. 2ND - FRAUD THAT GM IS COMMITTING THROUGH THE DEALERSHIPS. PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THEIR VEHICLE IN TO THEIR DEALERSHIPS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM OVER AND OVER AND ARE BEING CHARGED A FEE TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT GETTING FIXED. THAT IS THE ROOT PROBLEM CAUSING THIS ISSUE. I AM ONE OF THE LUCKY FEW WHERE MY WARRANTY IS COVERING THE COST, BUT IT IS NOT RIGHT FOR GM AND/OR THEIR DEALERSHIPS TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS A FEE TO REPAIR A PROBLEM THEY, (GM) KNOWS EXISTS. AND, THE RECALL IS NOT THE FIX ALL AS GM WANTS IT TO BE. IF THIS SECTION IS NOT IN YOUR AREA, PLEASE FORWARD THIS PART TO WHOMEVER OR WHATEVER OFFICE THAT CAN ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, FRAUD. IF I HAD THE MEANS TO FILE A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT, I WOULD. NOT FOR COMPENSATION, BUT TO FORCE GM TO FIX AN EXISTING PROBLEM THEY KNOW IS A REAL PROBLEM. AND, STOP THEM FROM RIPPING OFF CUSTOMER'S WHO BOUGHT THEIR PRODUCT. UPDATED 02/14/11 *BF
