2005 Chevrolet Corvette: doors won't lock, open or latch

Filed Jul 5, 2011 · Electrical · 91,000 miles · TN

While driving on I 40 in memphis, my 2005 corvette initiated a warning to "service activew handling". The warnings then indicated a flat tire, and airbag fault, which all cleared. The warnings are erroneous, and can cause the system to react, shutting down traction control, slowing the vehicle and other measures, without warning. The driver door will not open unless emergency open is utilized.

For the second time in three months, my 2005 chevy corvette decided to lock me out again on its own. The "smart key" system, which is suppose to lock the doors when the keys are out of the car and unlocks when the keys are in the car. Well it freaks out when there are two keys in there. Whenever there are two keys in the car, the system flips and locks the person out. This is the same exact problem as I had last time. My keys are in plain view of my window, yet I still cant get in because the doors wont unlock. Is there anyway to get chevy to fix this problem. Now I have to find a way to get in my car.

Dt: the contact owns a 2005 chevy corvette. On november 27 2004 the vehicle would not let them get into the car and the alarm would not go off. Also, the computer in the car would tell them that there was no tire pressure and the tires were on the vehicle and the computer stated there was no psi. They had to climb into the hatch to open the door because the door would not open with the key. On april 5, 2005 the dealership replaced the battery and it did correct the problem until april 12,2005 at that time the vehicle was towed back to the dealership and they stated basically it was the battery and the electrical system same type of problem again this time. April 16, 2005 the vehicle had to be jumped started. On april 20, 2005 the vehicle was towed to the dealership because they could not get into the vehicle, the battery voltage was showing zero, and the psi on three tires were showing that they did not have tires on the vehicle. On may 23, 2005 with only 2700 miles on the vehicle while driving down the highway the serpentine belt broke, it over heated, the engine had blew and the vehicle had to be towed. Around july 3rd or 4th with less than 3000 miles, the vehicle would not shift correctly and it would automatically stop because it would come out of cruise control, the computer would give them strange error messages. When they arrived to the dealership that is when the hatch on the back had came open by it self and it had happened twice before this but they thought they had maybe accidentally opened it. On july 12, 2005 the vehicle was picked up from the dealership the passenger driver side window molding was messed up. The contact told them to keep the vehicle until it was fixed. They have noticed numerous complaints on the federal safety agency website with the same type of problems. Also, on the vehicle they have been unable to put a full fuel tank of gasoline in the vehicle since date of purchase. Service invoices are available if needed.
