Almost every C5 (1997-2004) Corvette is affected by a faulty electronic brake control module. When this module fails, the car illuminates the ABS and traction control light.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. AFTER THE KEY WAS PLACED IN THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE CRANKED. HOWEVER, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS IN A LOCKED POSITION AND THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. A FEW HOURS LATER, THE STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKED WITHOUT WARNING.

ON JANUARY 19, 2013, AT 71,126 MILES THE SAME OCCURRED WHILE I WAS PARKED AT A COSTCO GAS STATION IN LAKE WORTH, FLORIDA. IT REQUIRED A TOW TO MAROONE CHEVROLET IN LAKE WORTH, FLORIDA. THIS SERVICE COST ME $499.34 FROM MY PERSONAL FUNDS. SERVICE REQUIRES A NEW CABLE. ON JANUARY 21, 2015, AT 81,321 MILES THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN WHILE I WAS PARKED AT THE BASS PRO SHOP IN PALM BAY, FLORIDA. THIS REQUIRED A TOW TO ROSNER CHEVROLET IN MELBORUNE, FLORIDA. THE SERVICE COST ME $397.55 FROM MY PERSONAL FUNDS. SERVICE REQUIRED A NEW CABLE AND GASKETS AS YOU CAN SEE, I...
