CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2010 car safety problem was reported on June 11, 2010.CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2010, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM . I DECIDED TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT SINCE I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY CORVETTE AND THE CONTINUED ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM WITH THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AT LEAST THREE TIMES ALREADY. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR MAINTENANCE WAS ON JUNE 14TH. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT HE ENSURED ALL THE CONNECTORS WERE TIGHTENED, RESET THE CODES AND THE CAR WAS READY. ON FRIDAY JUNE 25TH I DROPPED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR THE 2ND TIME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM (SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM). I WAS CONTACTED BY A JOHN SAUDER SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE AROUND 12:30 PM THAT DAY WHO APPRISED ME THAT MY CAR WAS READY FOR PICK UP AFTER THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETED. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DROVE LESS THAN 30 MILES WHEN THE CAR AGAIN WENT INTO ¿REDUCED POWER MODE¿ AND THE SAME ERROR CODES APPEARED (SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM) THIS WAS ON JUNE 26TH. THE CAR WAS SERVICED AGAIN ON JUNE 27TH FOR THE IDENTICAL ISSUE AND RETURNED TO ME ON JULY 1ST. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MILES I RECEIVED THE IDENTICAL MESSAGES AT 1330 MILES. WHEN THE CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE ON JUNE 27TH JOHN DAUDER CHEVROLET STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED AND THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD CORRECTED THE ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY THE PERSONAL AUDIO LINK (PAL) INSTALLED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT REMOVING THE PAL WOULD ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM. THAT WAS PREMATURE. TO DATE, I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR LESS THAN 1350 MILES. FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR MORE THAN 18 DAYS AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR SERVICE 13 DAYS NOT COUNTING THE FACT THAT I WILL DROP OFF THE CAR FOR SERVICE ON JULY 13, 2010 BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE THE 4TH TIME. *TR.Mileage was 899 miles.

CHEVROLET CORVETTE Tires

CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2010 Safety Review #10450490

CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2010 car safety problem was reported on July 31, 2010.CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2010, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with TIRES . MY COMPLAINT IS NOT ABOUT A COMPONENT FAILURE, BUT RATHER AN INADEQUATE COMPONENT, SPECIFICALLY THE GOODYEAR F1 SUPERCAR TIRES THAT CAME AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON MY 2010 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT COUPE. THESE TIRES ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST TO HYDROPLANE OF ANY TIRES ON ANY VEHICLE I HAVE DRIVEN IN MY 45+ YEARS OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED WHEN THERE IS WATER ON THE ROAD. I HAVE APPROACHED THE DEALER AND CHEVROLET ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AS TO WHAT I CAN DO TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION AND HAVE BEEN STONEWALLED AT EVERY STEP. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS AND MANY OF THEM HAVE SWAPPED OUT THE STANDARD ISSUE GOODYEARS FOR MICHELINS AT A COST OF AROUND $2000 AND THAT SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET MY DEALER OR CHEVROLET TO CONFIRM THIS. THEIR ANSWER IS TO REPLACE THEM WITH THE SAME TIRE THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE. MY CAR IS NEARLY TWO YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT, SO TIRE WEAR IS NOT THE ISSUE. THE Z06 AND ZR1 MODELS COME STANDARD WITH MICHELINS AND I THINK THE GRAND SPORT SHOULD AS WELL. I KNOW IT IS TOO LATE FOR ME, BUT NEW OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE NEW TIRES WITH VERY EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENTS IN ORDER TO BE SAFE WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN. *TR.Mileage was 600 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1YS2DW6A5. Chevrolet Corvette 2010 problem was reported in KERNERSVILLE, NC. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 8 CYLINDERS. FUEL TYPE: GAS. VEHICLE SPEED: 45 mph.
