1997 Chevrolet Corvette complaints

STEERING COLUMN COMPLETELY LOCKED RESULTING IN VEHICLE BEING TOWED TO DEALER AND HAVING STEERING LOCK, CYLINDER, IGNITION, LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED AT THE TUNE OF $591.61. IN AUGUST OF 2001 SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND PART REPAIRED. NO ASSISTANCE WHAT SO EVER FROM THE MANUFACTURER. REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

AFTER READING ALL THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET ON THE SERVICE COLUMN LOCK PROBLEMS, THERE SHOULD DEFINETLY BE A RECALL ON THIS!*AK DID NOT COUNT IN NUMBERS DUE TO OWNER NOT EXPERIENCING HIMSELF.

I UNDERSTAND YOU REVIEWED THIS PROBLEM FOR THE 1999 MODEL AND CHEVROLET HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR SPECIFIC VIN NUMBERS AND YEARS, BUT HAVE EXCLUDED 1997. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND EXPECT IT WILL CONTINUE UNTIL GMC DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

THE CAR'S TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGES EVEN WHEN WHEELS ARE NOT SLIPPING. IT DID THIS ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE AT FIRST, BUT NOW IT DOES IT EVERY TIME I TRY TO DRIVE THE CAR. WHEN THE TCS KICKS IN, THE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED SO YOU CAN ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 15MPH. IT SLOWS THE CAR DOWN ABRUBTLY AND NEVER TURNS OFF UNTIL YOU TURN OFF THE CAR. THE DASH DISPLAYS MANY ERROR MESSAGES REPEATEDLY SUCH AS "SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM" "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" "SERVICE ABS SYSTEM" "CHECK ENGINE". THIS IS A SUPER SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN YOU HAVE A 345HP CAR, YOU TEND TO PULL OUT ON TO A HIGHWAY KNOWING YOU CAN GET UP TO SPEED QUICKLY. SEVERAL TIMES, I PULLED OUT AND THE CAR'S ENGINE CUT OUT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY OTHER 97 CORVETTE OWNERS AND GM SHOULD HANDLE THIS WITH A RECALL TO FIX THE FAULTY COMPONENTS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 14,000 MILES ON IT.

THE CORVETTE'S STEERING BECOMES INOPERATIVE RANDOMLY DUE TO THE COLUMN LOCK NOT RELEASING. THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO REPLACE THE LOCK AT MY COST AND STATED THE PROBLEM MAY STILL OCCUR WITH THE NEW LOCK? REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

MY CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE OF A GROCERY STORE. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY CAR I STARTED THE ENGINE AND THE DIC PANEL READ STEERING COLUMN LOCKED, PULL KEY AND WAIT 10 SECONDS. I TRIED TO GET THE CAR TO UNLOCK THE STEERING COLUMN FOR 1 HR. I CALLED FOR HELP AND HE ALSO TRIED FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. JERRY HAMM CHEVROLET WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR EXPENSES EVEN THOUGH I NOTIFIED THEM OF THE 13 COMPLAINTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE. THE REPAIRS COST ME $418.00 PLUS $65.00 FOR TOWING. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS MALFUNCTIONING PART. I AM HANDLING MY DISPTE THROUGH ARBITRATION AND WILL TAKE THEM TO COURT IF NECESSARY.*AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT OF THIS TYPE ON THIS CAR. THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKS UP ON THE VEHICLE MAKING THE CAR INOPERABLE. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT ON THIS CAR THAT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF IT WERE TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SECOND TIME WITHIN 6 WEEKS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT CUAES THE PROBLEM, AND CONSEQUENTLY HOW TO FIX IT. GM BARLEY ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM EVEN EXISTS, SAYING THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY DON'T SEEM TO PERCEIVE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS COMMON DEFECT NEEDS TO BE THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL BY THE MANUFACTURER SO THAT THE OWNERS OF THESE CARS CAN FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING THEM.*AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

RECALL 00V111000. DRIVER'S LAP BELT DOES NOT RETRACT, CAUSING THE RESTRAINT TO BE INOPERABLE. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE IF THIS VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED UNDER THE RECALL BY THE VIN.*AK

AS I WAS TRYING TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT A BALL GAME PARKING LOT, I STARTED GETTING A MESSAGE TO "REMOVE KEY AND WAIT 10 SECONDS" ON THE COMPUTER READOUT IN THE DASH AND THE ENGINE WOULD DIE EACH TIME THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE. AFTER DOING THIS TWO OR THREE TIMES AS I WAS TRYING TO BACK UP , THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED, LEAVING MY WIFE AND I STRANDED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS WHICH PUT THE VEHICLE OUT OF SERVICE FOR SIX DAYS. *AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

AFTER PARKING MY CAR IN MY GARAGE ONE EVENING AND GOING IN THE HOUSE REALIZED I NEEDED TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE CAR WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE CAR I SMELLED GASOLINE. I THOUGHT I HAD SPILLED SOME WHEN I FUELED UP, SO I RINSED OFF THE AREA OF THE FILLER NECK AND PUT THE CAR BACK INSIDE. THE DAY I STILL SMELLED FUEL SO I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SAW A LEAK AT THE BACK OF THE FUEL TANK. THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOLD ME THAT BOTH TANK AND UNITS HAD BEEN REPLACED UNDER A RECALL IN 10/97. HEAR IT IS 2 YEARS LATER LESS THAN 13000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THE LEFT TANK IS LEAKING AGAIN. I ASK THE DEALER IF THEY COULD REPLACE BOTH TANKS AGAIN WITH THE NEW BETTER PARTS. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD ONLY REPAIR THE LEAKING SIDE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE RIGHT TANK WILL ALSO LEAK AND POSSIBLY BE OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEN I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A FAILURE THAT WAS THE MANUFACTORS FAULT TO START WITH. IF THIS LEAK DOES OCCUR OUT SIDE OF THE WARRANTY EVEN AFTER THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN DONE I THINK IT IS ONLY FAIR THAT THE DEALER OR CHEVROLET TO PAY THE FULL COST FOR THE PARTS AND REPAIR AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN GET A GUARANTEE ON THAT. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP! YOU CAN PROVIDE. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED GM VEHICLES HOWEVER THIS INCIDENT WITH A A NEARLY NEW CAR IS LEAVING A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH.

THE HANDBRAKE HASN'T WORKED SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AT THE FIRST RECOMMENDED SERVICE DATE (OIL CHANGE). AT THE TIME, I REPORTED THE FAILURE. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE HAD IT TO TWO DEALERS A TOTAL OF FIVE TIMES OVER THIS NON-FUNCTIONING HAND BRAKE. BOTH DEALERS' SERVICE DEPARTMENTS HAVE REPLACED PARTS AND BOTH ADMIT IT'S STILL BROKEN, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE MANUFACTURER WEON'T HELP, SAYING IT'S A "DESIGN ISSUE" AND NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I HAVE COMPLETE NOTES ON ALL CONVERSATIONS AND COULD FAX THEM TO YOU.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THAT TOTALED MY 1997 CORVETTE. I WAS DRIVING AROUND A CORNER AT 45 MPH WHEN WHEN I LOST CONTROL AND SPUN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE ROADS WERE WET AND THE CAR WAS STRUCK ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. I READ YOUR REPORT ON THE CRACKED A-ARM OR RADIUS ARM AND WAS CURIOS AS TO WHEATHER MY CAR COULD HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THAT. ANY INFORMATION ON THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. 3 PEOPLE WERE CRITICALLY INJURED IN THIS ACCIDENT, MYSELF BEING ONE OF THEM AND I'M LOOKING FOR ANSWERS. SINCERLY, SCOTT ROGGENBECK

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY, THE CAR LOST SIGNIFICANT ENGINE POWER AND THE CAR'S SYSTEM VERY SUDDENLY REDUCED WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE I355 EXPRESSWAY. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED. THE DEALER DID NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. (I HAVE A SERVICE RECORD INDICATING THIS.) 4/6/98 WAS IN SERVICE FOR 'SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED' MSG THAT WAS RECEIVED ON CAR'S SYSTEM AGAIN. VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING AGAIN, AND I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WHEN TURNING LEFT; NEARLY GOT SIDE SWIPED BECAUSE OF THE REDUCED SPEED. WAS ACCELERATING NORMALLY TO TURN LEFT. SERVICE DEALER REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE & SAID THAT THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. 7/3/98 I COMPLAINED TO DEALER SVC DEPT ABOUT BURNING GAS SMELL. ALSO, SAME MSG CAME UP 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED. '11/5/98 SAME MSG' SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM, ENGINE POWER REDUCED' CAME UP. THEY ARE REPLACING A PART & THEY ARE NOT SURE IF THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM.

WHEN THE CAR WAS 3 OR 4 MONTHS OLD, I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY ON THE ON RAMP. I ACCELERATED, BUT DIDN'T PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR, AND THEN EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. STOPPED. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND IT PROCEEDED NORMALLY. I REPORTED IT TO SCOTT IRVIN CHEVROLET SOON AFTERWARD BUT THEY FOUND NOTHING. THE LASTEST INCIDENT HAPPENED A FEW DAYS AGO. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 2:30AM. I WAS GOING ABOUT 70 WHEN THE WARNING BELLS STARTED TO SOUND. THEN ON THE DASH, THE WARNING...REDUCED POWER ALTERNATING WITH SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH. THE YELLOW EMISSIONS LIGHT WAS ALSO ON. I HAD JUST HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP 3 WEEKS AGO BECAUSE THAT YELLOW EMISSIONS LIGHT WAS LIT ON THE DASH. ANYWAY, WHEN ALL THIS STARTED HAPPENING, I COULD FEEL THE CAR LOSE POWER. I HAD NO CONTROL. I WAS COMING TO A FREEWAY INTERCHANGE WHERE THERE IS A HAIR PIN CURVE TO CONNECT TO THE NEXT FREEWAY. I HAD TO SLOW, BUT COMING OUT OF THE INTERCHANGE TO ENTER THE NEW FREEWAY, I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO DO MORE THAN 20MPH. I STEPPED ON THE GAS BUT THERE WAS NOTHING. NO POWER. I PULLED OVER ON THE FREEWAY AND STOPPED THE CAR FEARING I WOULD BE HIT FROM BEHIND. I RESTARTED MY CAR, BUT STILL NO POWER. I PROCEEDED TO THE NEAREST OFF RAMP AT 20MPH, AND EXITED THE FREEWAY. MIND YOU, I AM A WOMAN, IT WAS 2:30AM AND I HAD TO STOP ON A DESERTED STREET. I WAITED FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND RESTARTED MY CAR. IT PROCEEDED NORMALLY HOWEVER
