Consumer Description

I OWN A 2006 CORVETTE AND WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 270 IN GERMANTOWN, MD THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL OF THE CAR LOCKED UP FOR NO REASON. I WAS NOT BRAKING TURNING OR CHANGING SPEED. I WAS CRUISING AT A CONSTANT 60 MPH WHEN IT ALL OF A SUDDEN LOCKED UP THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL. IT CAUSED THE CAR TO RUN OFF THE ROAD INTO THE SHOULDER! I WAS VERY LUCKY TO BE EXACTLY WHERE I WAS AT THE TIME OR SOMEONE MAY HAVE BEEN KILLED! I LOOKED INTO GM RECALL INFO AND FOUND THERE HAS BEEN 3 DIFFERENT FIXES FOR THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO FOUND THAT 2 OF THE 3 FIXES HAVE BEEN DONE TO THIS CAR BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND NEITHER FIX HAS WORKED. I AM BRINGING THE CAR INTO THE DEALER TOMORROW AFTER SOME QUICK RESEARCH I FOUND THIS PROBLEM TO BE VERY COMMON TO THE 2005-2008 CORVETTES. I CAN'T BELIEVE GM HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT THIS! *TR
