CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2003 car safety problem was reported on June 16, 2005.CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE . THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH CHEVRON SUPREME GASOLINE ON THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 2005 ON MY WAY TO PICK UP MY WIFE AT THE PHOENIX INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. WHEN I COMPLETED THE TASK AND STARTED THE AUTOMOBILE THE FUEL GAUGE AND THE HUD DID NOT AGREE. THE FUEL GAUGE WAS ON EMPTY AND THE HUD AT ONE-HALF FULL. I DROVE TO THE AIRPORT AND PICKED UP MY WIFE. I RETURNED HOME AND PULLED INTO THE GARAGE FOR THE NIGHT AND THE FUEL GAUGE AND HUD DID NOT CHANGE. ONCE INSIDE MY HOME, I WROTE AN EMAIL TO MITCH CONGDON, WHO IS THE SERVICE DIRECTOR AT VAN CHEVROLET IN SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, DESCRIBING MY DILEMA. IN ADDITION, I LET MR. CONGDON KNOW THAT MY WIFE WOULD BE BRINGING MY CAR IN ON FRIDAY SO THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE INVESTIGATED. I ALSO TOOK DIGITAL PICTURES OF THE FUEL GAUGE AND HUD AFTER PULLING THE CAR INTO THE GARAGE FOR THE NIGHT. WHEN MY WIFE STARTED THE CAR IN THE MORNING THE FUEL GAUGE AND HUD READINGS MATCHED AT FULL. VAN CHEVROLET REPLACED THE LEFT FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT. PERHPAS IT WAS AN ERROR, BUT THE MILEAGE ON MY INVOICE #600182 WAS ~3,000 MILES MORE THAN THE ACTUAL READING. THE RIGHT ONE HAD BEEN REPLACED IN AUGUST 2004 AFTER THE IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS OCCURRED. IN ADDITION, I USED ONLY CHEVRON SUPREME GASOLINE AND ADDED A BOTTLE OF TECHRON TO THE TANK EVERY 3,000 MILES. ON SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 2005 I TOOK PICTURES OF THE FUEL GAUGE AND HUD TO FURTHER RECORD THE READINGS. THE PICTURES ARE TIME AND DATE STAMPED. IT IS DISCONCERTING TO ME THAT I OWN A WORLD CLASS SPORTS CAR THAT I HAVE TO USE THE TRIP ODOMETER TO GAUGE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN MY GAS TANKS. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT GM HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR QUITE SOME TIME, AND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECENT FIX INVOLVING NEW COMPUTER BOARS THAT ARE IN SHORT SUPPLY. THIS EVENING I AM GOING TO SEND AN EMAIL TO MITCH CONGDON OF VAN CHEVROLET TO INFORM HIM OF MY CONTINUING PROBLEM. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 16117 miles.

CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2003 Safety Review #10226497

CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Oct 01, 2007.CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . A MESSAGE WAS RANDOMLY DISPLAYED SAYING THAT THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM HAD FAILED AND THAT SERVICE WAS NEEDED. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE CAR'S COMPUTER WOULD THEN SHUT OFF THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM, BUT WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON, THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM WOULD BE ACTIVE UNTIL THE NEXT FAILURE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS FAILURE CONSTITUTES A SAFETY PROBLEM. AFTER MANY MONTHS OF THIS (I WASN'T OVERLY CONCERNED SINCE I DON'T DRIVE ERRATICALLY AND RARELY ACTIVATE THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM), I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER (WEST CHEVROLET, ALCOA, TN) AND WAS TOLD (1) THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ON CORVETTES AND (2) IT IS DUE TO THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE STEERING COLUMN BEING TOO SHORT. (THIS CAR HAS A POWER TELESCOPING STEERING WHEEL AND MEMORY SEATS SO THAT EVERY TIME THE DRIVER GETS IN AND OUT OF THE CAR, THE STEERING COLUMN AUTOMATICALLY MOVES OUT AND IN, EVIDENTLY TUGGING ON THE WIRING HARNESS EACH TIME.) THE DEALERS TECHNICIAN FOREMAN SAID THAT ONE OF SIGNALS CARRIED BY THE HARNESS IS THE ANGLE OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH IS USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A YAW-RATE SENSOR TO DETERMINE IF THE CAR IS "SPINNING OUT" AND WHAT CORRECTIVE ACTION IS REQUIRED TO CORRECT THIS. HE ALSO SAID THAT DUE TO THE TOO-SHORT HARNESS, THE INTEGRITY OF THE HARNESS CONNECTOR DEGRADES OVER TIME CAUSING THE INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM. (3) THE DEALER SAID THAT THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED BY EXTENDING THE HARNESS WITH A GM PART WHICH IMPLIES THAT GM KNOWS THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND HAVE DEVELOPED A PART TO FIX IT. (4) I ASKED THE DEALER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I DID NOT FIX IT. I WAS TOLD THAT EVENTUALLY THE CONNECTOR WOULD COMPLETELY FAIL RESULTING IN A LOSS OF THE POWER STEERING. THIS WOULD THEN BE ANOTHER SAFETY PROBLEM. SO I HAD TO HAVE IT FIXED BUT IT WASN'T CHEAP - $594.68. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 40000 miles.

CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Aug 16, 2009.CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL . WHILE DRIVING, MY VEHICLE'S WARNING SYSTEM FOR THE ACTIVE HANDLING & ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATES DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT BOTH OF THESE SYSTEMS WOULD DEVELOP A PROBLEM AT THE SAME TIME. UPON RESEARCHING THIS, I DISCOVERED THAT GM REALIZED A FLAW IN THE DESIGNING OF THE WIRING HARNESS THAT IS CONTAINED WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT IS RESPONSIBLE. GM HAS DESIGNED A PART TO FIX THIS, BUT AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. IN THESE TYPES OF VEHICLES, THE ACTIVE HANDLING & ABS IS A SAFETY FEATURE, AND I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT WHENEVER THE WARNINGS ARE ACTIVATED THESE SAFETY FUNCTIONS ARE NO LONGER FUNCTIONING AS THE COMPUTER BELIEVES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEM WHEN THERE ISN'T. THE WARNINGS DO NOT COME ON AT THE TIME OF START UP, BUT ONLY AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 5 MILES. IF THERE IN FACT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THESE FEATURES, A WARNING WOULD COME ON AT START UP. GM HAS FOUND THAT THE WIRING HARNESS BECOMES STRETCHED FROM CONTINUED USE OF THE TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN OVER THE YEARS WHICH CAUSES THE FALSE WARNINGS. OTHER DRIVERS HAVE REPORTED POWER STEERING FAILURE AND OTHER PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD CAUSE DRASTIC PROBLEMS IF THE COMPUTER FALSELY DISENGAGES THESE FEATURES, ESPECIALLY THE ABS DURING DRIVING IN THE RAIN OR SNOW. THESE VEHICLES RELY ON THESE SYSTEMS FOR SAFE OPERATIONS. ONCE THE WARNING COMES ON, THERE IS NO WAY TO CHECK TO SEE IF THE ACTIVE HANDLING FEATURE IS ON OR OFF, AS THE COMPUTER WILL NOT ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO BE CHECKED. *TR.Mileage was 24500 miles.

CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Dec 11, 2009.CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STRUCTURE . THIS IS AN AMENDMENT TO YOUR ODI NUMBER 10297619. OUR 2003 CHEVROLET CORVETTE HAS SUSTAINED SEVERE UNDERCARRAIGE DAMAGE AS WELL AS PASSENGER SIDE BODY DAMAGE AND WHEEL AND TIRE DAMAGE. PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AND DRIVERS DOOR WILL OPEN WHEN MUCH STRENGTH APPLIED TO PULL IT OPEN. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF MINUTES AFTER THE CRASH THAT IT WAS APPARENT THE DOORS WERE NOT GOING TO OPEN WITHOUT SOME KIND OF ASSISTANCE. JUST PRIOR TO THE CRASHWE EXPERIENCED A SMALL FISHING OF OF THE REAR OF THE CAR AT WHICH TIME THE ACCELERATOR WAS DISENGAGED AND THE BRAKES APPLIED HARD. THE STEERING WAS LOCKED IN THE POSITION WE WERE DRIVING IN AT THE TIME WHICH WAS ON A CURVE. THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP US, AND AT THIS TIME THE RPM WAS RACING UPWARD ON THE CAR WHICH WAS ACCELERATING WHEN NO GAS WAS BEING APPLIED AT ALL. ONE OTHER TIME WHEN WE HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES QUICKLY, FOR A CHANGING LIGHT, THE RPM RACED WAY UP WHILE WE WERE STOPPED. OUR COMPUTER SAID NOTHING AT THIS TIME WHICH INDICATED TO US THAT THERE WAS NOTHING NOTED ABOUT THE INCIDENT THAT WE COULD SEE. ALSO AIRBAGS FAILED TO OPEN! WITHOUT OUR SEATBELTS, THE 37 INCIDENT AMONG CORVETTES WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST CASUALITY IN THE STEERING LOCK FAILURE. MOST NOTABLY AND CRITICAL OF THE FAILURES IS THE STEERING LOCK FIAILURE NO.1, NO 2 IS BRAKES FAILING TO STOP VEHICLE AND NO. 3 IS AIRBAGS FAILING TO DEPLOY. NO 4 IS THE RPM ACCELERATING WHEN BRAKES ARE TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEABLE AT THIS TIME AND IS CURRENTLY IN STORAGE UNTIL THERE ARE RESOLUTIONS TO THESE FAILURES. DATE OF CRACH DEC. 11, 2009 ABOUT 9:30 AM. *TR.Vehicle was involved in a crash. Mileage was 34000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1YY32G935.

CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2003 car safety problem was reported on Aug 01, 2013.CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2003, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL . WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 CHEVY CORVETTE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING" AND ABS ALERT CAME ON, NO PROBLEMS WITH DRIVING OR BRAKING WERE INITIALLY NOTED, SYSTEM WILL NOT RESET, AND I HAVE NOTED OCCASIONALLY WHILE BRAKING THE ABS DOES SEEMS TO ACTIVATE FOR NO APPARENT REASON DURING NORMAL BRAKING. IF I DEACTIVATE THE TRACTION CONTROL THE BRAKING ISSUE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AS RECURRING, BUT THE ALERTS CONTINUE ADVISING TO SERVICE BOTH SYSTEMS. TAKING THE CAR INTO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER FOR REPAIRS BUT FROM MY RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE A RE-OCCURRING PROBLEM WITH MANY CORVETTE OWNERS OF VARIOUS YEARS, POTENTIAL ISSUES HAVE BEEN CITED AS THE WIRE HARNESS IN THE TELESCOPING/TILT STEERING WHEEL AND/OR THE ELECTRONIC BRAKING CONTROL MODULE, (EBCM) ARE FAULTY. SOME HAVE REPORTED SERIOUS ACCIDENTS, HOWEVER I SUSPECT MANY HAVE NOT REPORTED THE PROBLEM AND/OR HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED IT YET BECAUSE ALOT OF VETTES ARE LOW MILEAGE. SEEMS THIS IS A SERIOUS CONSISTENT PROBLEM THAT WOULD TRIGGER A NATIONAL RECALL INORDER TO PREVENT FUTURE POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 21875 miles.
