NHTSA Complaint #10621107 — 2005 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AT APPROX. 20 MPH WHEN RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LOCKED UP AND VEHICLE SWERVED TO THE RIGHT. VEHICLE WOULD LOCK UP EVERY TIME I TRIED TO GO THEREFORE I HAD TO CUT IGNITION OFF AND RESTART. THIS HAS OCCURRED NOW THREE TIMES AND EACH TIME THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND VEHICLE SWERVED TO THE RIGHT EACH TIME AND WOULD NOT GO! I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED ON EACH OCCURRENCE AND WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON EACH OCCURRENCE. WE TOOK THE CAR TO YOUMAN'S CHEVOLET IN MACON ,GA AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT AND THE CHARGES TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM WERE GOING TO BE SO OUTLANDISH THAT WE DID NOT PURSUE. THEY DID NOT EVEN CONSIDER CHECKING TO SEE IF THERE COULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM OR ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WE HAVE GONE TO THEM WITH DURING THE LAST SEVEN YEARS. AT THAT POINT, WE WENT TO A CAR REPAIR PLACE THAT WE USE FREQUENTLY ON ALL OF OUR VEHICLES AND HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE CAR TO CHECK FOR AN ERROR CODE ON THE COMPUTER BUT NOTHING SHOWED UP. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT IT HAS NOT DONE THIS ENOUGH TIMES TO REGISTER THE PROBLEM YET. SINCE THAT TIME, WE GENERALLY DRIVE WITH THE TRACTION SYSTEM OFF WHEN DRIVING IN TOWN AS IT IS SOMEWHAT SCARY WHEN THE SITUATION OCCURS. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED TO DATE WHEN THE TRACTION SYSTEM IS OFF AND HAS ALSO NOT HAPPENED WHEN TRAVELING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. *TR
