Consumer Description

MY SON OWNS A 2006 CORVETTE C6. HE WAS DRIVING FOR 2 YEARS WHEN HIS CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND SUFFERED A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, IN A COMA FOR 6 MONTHS. HIS CAR HAD A "SERVICE TRACTION STABILITY CONTROL" INDICATION ON THE DIC TWICE WITHIN A 30 DAY PERIOD. HE WAS QUICK TO SERVICE THIS WARNING IMMEDIATELY WITH THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AS THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. NOW I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE TRACTION STABILITY CONTROL FOR 2006 CORVETTE AND GM HAS NOW ISSUED A RECALL. TO LATE MY SON HAS BRAIN DAMAGE. *TR
