THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILS TO ENGAGE REPEATEDLY. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASING THE CAR. DEALER HAS NO RECORD OF OUR REPORTING THE ISSUE PRIOR TO WARRANTY EXPIRING. PAPERWORK INDICATING NUMEROUS OTHER ISSUES, INCLUDING ISSUES WITH OTHER BRAKES, IS AVAILABLE. CHEVROLET HAS BEEN CONTACTED REPEATEDLY, INCLUDING AN EMAIL LISTING THE 6 EXISTING COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEBSITE WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON THIS MODEL CAR. RESPONSE HAS BEEN THAT SINCE WARRANTY EXPIRED, NO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH THE CHARGES TO REPAIR (OVER $500 PER THE DEALER) WILL BE PROVIDED. NO CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO THE LOW MILEAGE, THE FACT THAT THIS IS A MAJOR REPAIR TO PARTS THAT SHOULD ONLY WEAR OUT DUE TO USAGE, AND THE PREVALENCE OF THIS ISSUE WITH SEVERAL CARS OF THE SAME MAKE AND YEAR.*AK

THE CARS COMPUTER SHUTS DOWN THE CAR AT HIGH SPEEDS. MESSAGES THAT APPEAR INCLUDE LOW VOLTAGE, SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND ABS FAILURE. THIS HAS OCCURED FOUR TIMES - 6/26/01, 8/8/01, 10/4/01, AND 10/25/01 AND I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED PROBLEM ONLY TO HAVE IT REOCCUR. IT IS LIKE HAVING THE CAR SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AT 70 MPH. IT CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I AM USUALLY ON A HIGHWAY WITH FAST MOVING TRAFFIC AROUND ME. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WITH THE CORVETTES AS IF IT IS NORMAL. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT A CAR WOULD BE DESIGNED TO SHUT DOWN AT HIGH SPEEDS IF THE COMPUTER REGISTERED A VOLTAGE DROP. THE MANUFACTURER REPRESENTATIVE MICHAEL STEELE AT 800-222-1020 IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND TRIES TO HELP BUT HAS NO POWER TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE. THE CASE NUMBER AT CHEVROLET IS 05623088. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND POSSIBLE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.*AK

204V060000 · Steering:column LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT Device
Feb 9, 2004
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC COLUMN LOCK SYSTEMS (ECL), WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED TO "LOCK," THE ECL SYSTEM PREVENTS TURNING OF THE STEERING SYSTEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE ECL UNLOCKS THE STEERING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED SO THAT IF THE COLUMN FAILS TO UNLOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND THE CUSTOMER TRIES TO DRIVE, THE FUEL SUPPLY WILL BE SHUT OFF SO THAT THE VEHICLE CANNOT MOVE WHEN THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE STEERED. IF VOLTAGE AT THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE IS LOW OR INTERRUPTED, HOWEVER, THE FUEL SHUT OFF MAY NOT OCCUR AND THE VEHICLE CAN BE ACCELERATED WHILE THE STEERING SYSTEM IS LOCKED. ALSO WHEN THE CONTROL SYSTEM SHOWS THAT THE ECL IS UNLOCKED AND THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, THE LOCK PIN LOCATION CAN VARY. DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION OF THE LOCK PLATE RELATIVE TO THE SWITCH TRANSITION POINT, THERE COULD THEN BE CONTACT BETWEEN THE LOCK PLATE AND PIN CAUSING THE STEERING TO LOCK WHILE DRIVING .
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURS, A CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING.
Remedy: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE DEALER WILL DISABLE THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK BY REMOVING THE COLUMN LOCK PLATE. WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS REMOVED, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WILL LOCK BUT THE STEERING COLUMN WILL NOT LOCK. ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THE DEALER WILL REPROGRAM THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE, PERFORM A DIMENSIONAL CHECK OF THE COLUMN LOCK AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE LOCK PLATE. THE STEERING COLUMN ON THESE VEHICLES WILL CONTINUE TO LOCK WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED. OWNER NOTIFICATION TO OWNERS OF 1997 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS BEGAN ON APRIL 26, 2004. OWNERS OF 1998 THROUGH 2004 VEHICLES (EXCEPT 1997-1998 MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES) WILL BE NOTIFIED BEGINNING ON AUGUST 2, 2004. THE REMAINING OWNERS (1997-1998 MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES) WILL BE NOTIFIED LATER IN 2004, WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438.
