NHTSA Complaint #10483515 — 1999 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

WHEN I MAKE A SLOW TURN LEFT OR RIGHT SOMETIMES THE FRONT BRAKE WOULD GRAB MY CAR AS THE SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING WOULD SHOW ON MY DASH. THE DEALER CLASSIC CHEVROLET HAD MY CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AS THEY SAID IT WAS THE STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR (BUT GM HAS DISCONTINUED NEW PARTS FOR 1999 & 2000 MODELS ONLY). THE DEALER COULDN'T REPAIR THE PROBLEM EVEN WHEN I PROVIDED A USED PART AS THEY SAY USED SENSORS DON'T WORK. THERE ARE OVER 6,000 1999 & 2000 VETTES THAT WERE SOLD SO WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO TRASH OUR $20,000.00 CARS TO THE DUMPSTER? GM NEEDS TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY AND AT LEAST START OFFERING THIS PART FOR MANUFACTURING. THE REASON GM QUIT MAKE THIS PART WAS DUE TO A DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM & 2 MANUFACTURERS WHO CLAIMED THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO MANUFACTURE THIS PRODUCT FOR THESE YEAR MODELS. THIS GM DROPPED IT BUT THEY STILL MAKE IT FOR OTHER OLDER & NEWER MODELS. *TR
