2008 Chevrolet Corvette: adaptive cruise control problems

Filed May 20, 2017 · Brakes, Electrical · 60,000 miles · TX

Brake issue: brakes would stay on until pressed. Cruise control would also not function while the brake lights were engaged. Pressing the brakes would cause the brake lights to turn off. Taking foot off brakes would cause brake lights to turn on. Repaired by chevrolet for $450. Electrical: starter has been replaced 11 times by firestone & chevrolet. Starter repeatedly stops working after 6 months of use (using original oem parts installed at full price by chevrolet).

I and other corvette owners are having the same issue as the most recent recall of other gm models. My brake lights will constantly be on. The active handling warning light will continue to show on dash and cruise control will disengaged and reengage on its own. The fix seems to be replacing the body control module. I have replaced the brake sensor and that did not fix the issue. After reading blogs I located other corvette owners experiencing the same issues as I.

My car has spent weeks at autonation chevrolet in alpharetta, ga until I took it back from them and brought it to a corvette dealer in atlanta, ga to replace the bcm and hope to fix the issue for now.

Traveling at 65 MPH with the cruise control on driving on a straight 4 lane divided highway, I brake and pressed the clutch pedal to down shift to make an exit. I exited, made the turn and started accelerating. I notice a loss of power and the steering wheel shook. There was no message that the active handling was engaged. I stopped and turned off the engine. All was fine when I drove again. However, it keeps happening sporadically without any cause. Once the service active handling system lit on the control panel but after turning off the engine it has not appeared again. Yet, the active handling system(or something) keep tapping the brakes making the car lose power and the steering shake.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 chevrolet corvette. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brakes engaged without manual force and also failed to stop with the illumination of the service active handling light. In addition, the cruise control failed to function. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but they were unable to duplicate the problem. The manufacturer was not notified. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000.
