2007 Chevrolet Corvette driver assistance problems

Filed Sep 16, 2021 · Driver assistance, Engine · NM

After starting the vehicle I am unable to shift out of park. This endangers both myself and a passenger if I need to move the car quickly in case of fire or another vehicle or object coming toward me. It also endangers other passengers in vehicles I may be blocking because they are unable to move. There are many other C6 Corvettes with this same problem documented per the Corvette Forum and YouTube.

Ebcm failure resulting in loss of anti skid system, active handling system and traction control system. This is a serious safety issue which directly impacts the braking system and steering. Apparently it's a common failure and gm has stopped manufacturing of the needed modules. The result is that hundreds of thousands of this type of vehicle are either unsafe now or will become unsafe without any warning.

When turning at slow speeds, the active suspension will either activate or force a dic message "service active handling system." sometimes, this occurs simultaneously with ABS activation of the brakes. This has caused me to drive into head- on lanes, or forced me to stop in moving traffic without brake lights. It seems worse in cold or wet weather. Restarting the car will reset the display.

October of this year. My transmission in my corvette would not go into park. I put it into reverse and backed it out and then could not put it up into park. I then put it into drive and moved forward some and tried to put it into park. This time it would not go even into reverse. The vehicle has 56220 miles on it. I stays in a garage climate controlled and has seen bad weather maybe 6 time (snow or rain). So off the car went to the chevrolet dealer to get repaired. I googled the problem to do a little research and found out that there has been lots of complaints on this same problem with out any results. So there is a plastic piece in the shiftier mechanism the entire assembly must be replaced. So at $1068.00 later the problem was fixed. Did gm know about the problem, they sure did. The service person told me he has replaced 2 the same week and more through the year. My gut feeling is that this is a hazard to not only the owner but to other drivers out there. I even feel that it could be life threatening to everyone. The piece gets stuck in the unit and one could drive straight into a wall or run over someone in the vehicles path.

Attempting to enter an expressway entrance ramp, I accelerated the vehicle to avoid a car closing rapidly from behind. The car was heading straight and I made no steering input to the the rear end abruptly moved to the right and I was unable to countersteer sufficiently to avoid hitting a vehicle in the lane to my right. This initial collision caused further loss of control within my vehicle and the other vehicle, and we collided a second time.
