I purchased a 2006 corvette in june of 2010. Since then I have had various electrical problems including, high and low tire pressure warnings, flat tire warning (tires were fine), service active handling system (has happened twice while driving, front tires locked up.. Almost got rear ended. I was sitting at a light, when to turn left and front tires locked up. Pushed the clutch in several times but tires still locked up. Turned off the active handling .. Chose comp drive mode, problem went away. Several times lately the push button start does not start the engine, everything else comes on but nothing from the engine. Change to a different gear, push clutch back in, nothing.. After several attempts, it finally 'catches" and starts. The tires have locked up twice since june of 2010. The push button start began malfunctioning on a daily bases about 3 weeks ago. I do not wish to fly off the highway into a ditch before this can be fixed. (active handling).

2006 corvette dead battery syndrome. Car after sitting in the driveway for more than 7 days will not start in the cold weather(under 45 degree). Bring it to the dealer they charged the battery and cannot reproduce the issue. It happens more than 3 times already. Sometime I have the car towed to the dealership.

Car would not start after setting 4 days in my garage. Charged the battery and car would not start after two days setting in my garage. Charged the battery again and car would not start after setting two days in my garage. Gm had installed a new battery just 400 miles ago. Appears to be excessive battery drain. Took it in to dealer and they replaced a module in the driver side door. Went to pick up the car and when I tried to start the car, the battery was dead again. Dealer installed another new battery. Have not had a chance to use the car (2006 z06) since the dealership visit january 18, 2007, due to winter weather conditions.
