1999 Chevrolet Corvette complaints

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE VEHICLE WAS MOVING IN REVERSE AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM THAT HAS PLAGUED THE C5 CORVETTE FOR YEARS. THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF THE STEERING LOCKING UP WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PROCEEDING AT SPEED DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ME AND POSSIBLY OTHERS. PLEASE ACT RESPONSIBLY AND FORCE THE RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE BEFORE SOMONE IS KILLED. *AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

COLUMN LOCK FAILED IN LOCKED POSITION, RENDERING CAR UNDRIVEABLE FOR A PERIOD OF TWO HOURS, AT WHICH TIME THE PROBLEM CORRECTED ITSELF. THIS PROBLEM IS SEEMINGLY RANDOM, AND WITHOUT WARNING. I AM HESITANT TO TAKE THE CAR ON LONG TRIPS, IN FEAR THAT THE COLUMN WILL LOCK AND LEAVE ME STRANDED. CAN THIS HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING???

VEHICLE EXPERIENCING PROBLEM WITH STEERING COLUMN LOCKING UP INTERMITTENTLY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN / OUT OF DEALER SHOP, AND DEALER REPLACED THE COLUMN ELECTRIC MOTOR ON FIVE OCCASIONS. HOWEVER, PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

STEERING COLUMN LOCKED AT 10 MPH THEN STALLED WHEN CLUTCH RELEASED. *AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

VEHICLE WILL NOT OPERATE WHEN STEERING COLUMN LOCK FAILS. IF LOCKING MECHANISM WHICH IS CONTROLLED BY A COMPUTER WERE TO ACTUATE DURING DRIVING, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD RESULT REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

PER DEALER, THE ACTUATOR CAN GO OUT AT ANY TIME FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT THE VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED AND WORKED ON ONLY BY THE DEALER. IF THE ACTUATOR GOES OUT, THE VEHICLE'S STEERING COLUMN LOCKS UP AS AN ANT-THEFT FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NOTHING THE OWNER CAN DO TO PREVENT IT. IT COSTS AN AVERAGE OF $450 TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR, WHICH THE DEALER REALIZES CAN'T BE PREVENTED. I'VE LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG CORVETTE (1997-2000) OWNERS. *AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AFTER KEY HAS BEEN TURNED. ONGOING PROBLEM FOR ME - DEALERSHIP SAYS "NOTHING IS WRONG." HOWEVER, I HAVE DISCOVERED THROUGH MY OWN INVESTIGATIONS THAT MANY OTHERS WITH 1997 - 2000 CORVETTES ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME FRUSTRATION. LUCKILY THE CAR WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENED SO AT LEAST I WAS NOT STRANDED. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY!*AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

THE DEALER IN A TOWN OF 30,000 HAS FIXED 5 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM SO FAR THIS YEAR, SOME WERE MOVING WHEN THE STEERING LOCK UP OCCURRED. THE COMPLAINT DEPT. IN THIS WEB SITE IS FULL OF 1999 OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERS ARE REPLACING THE COLUMN LOCK WITH ONE JUST LIKE THE ONE THAT LOCKED UP. I SEE A REAL PROBLEM WITH IT LOCLING UP AT 70 MPH IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. *AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

THE STEERING COLUMN HAS LOCKED AND WOULD NOT UNLOCK TWICE: FIRST AT 7200 MILES, AND AGAIN AT 37000 MILES. DELAER REPAIRED BOTH TIMES; THE CONCERN IS IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. *AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT ANY SPEED VEHICLE COULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. *AK

PARKING BRAKE DID NOT HOLD AND THE CAR, WHILE PARKED, ROLLED DOWN A SLIGHT INCLINE AND HIT ANOTHER PARKED CAR. THIS OCCURRED AT MY PLACE OF BUSINESS. UPON DEALER INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE CABLE BRACKETS THAT SUPPORT THE CABLE AT THE REAR DISC ASSEMBLY WERE FATIGUED AND BENT WHICH RENDERED THE BRAKE EFFECT INOPERABLE. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT MY CAR WAS ONE OF SEVERAL THAT THEY HAD SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM. THEY WERE GOING TO ORDER REPLACEMENT BRACKETS AND SEEK AUTHORIZATION FROM GMC TO WELD SUPPORT GUSSETS TO THE BRACKET TO PREVENT IT FROM COLLAPSING AGAIN. THESE REPAIRS HAVE NOT YET BEEN MADE - PENDING PARTS. *AK

STEERING COLUMN HAS FAILED TO UNLOCK ON 4 OCCASIONS. NO ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS, BUT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF A PERSON STARTS $50000 CAR AND PROCEEDS TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ONLY TO FIND THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED. GM HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM WITH TWO VISITS TO DEALER. NEED GOV'T INTERVENTION TO GET GM IN GEAR. *AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

PE99-066, WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. CONSUMER CONTACTED DEALER. DEALER KNEW OF THE PROBLEM, AND STATED THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL LOCK PINS. *AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

STEERING COLUMN LOCKED RENDERING VEHICLE INOPERABLE. HAPPENED IN GARAGE RIGHT AFTER I STARTED THE CAR. IT'S BEEN REMOVED AND REPLACED BY A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER, MAC HAIK CHEVROLET 281-497-6600. *AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT RETRACTORS CONSTANTLY JAM, CAUSING SEAT BELTS TO BE INOPERABLE. TOOK TO DEALER WHO "LUBED" RETRACTORS, WHICH HAD NO EFFECT. CAUSED BY SEATBELT IMPROPERLY FEEDING INTO RETRACTOR AND RATCHET MECHANISM PREVENTING BELT FROM BEING PULLED BACK OUT TO CORRECT. RETRACTOR SPRING IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO COMPLETELY WIND IN THE BELTS WHEN FOLDED, CAUSING A JAMMED SITUATION WHERE THE BELT WILL NEITHER RETRACT FULLY OR PULL OUT. THIS RENDERS THE BELTS UNUSABLE. *AK

FUEL PUMP FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. CAR LOST ALL POWER INSTANTLY. CAR WOULD START BUT WOULD NOT RUN FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS. THROTTLE HAD NO EFFECT. IF THE PUMP AHD FAILED IN TRAFFIC, DURING AN EVASIVE MANEUVER OR WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS A BUSY ROAD, THE CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN WITHOUT POWER AND UNABLE TO AVOID ANY OTHER ONCOMING VEHICLES. OTHER LATE MODEL CORVETTE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET; THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THIS FAILURE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF NOT CORRECTED. *AK

WHILE TRYING TO START VEHICLE STEERING LOCKED , MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR CONSUMER TO START VEHICLE. ALSO, INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHED. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED *AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT RETRACTORS JAM REPEATEDLY, CAUSING SEAT BELTS TO BECOME UNSABLE, WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH IN A CRASH. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WH SAID THER HAD BEEN NO PROBLEMS REPORTED WITH THIS DESIGN. HE "LUBED" THE ASSEMBLIES, WHICH HAD NO EFFECT. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH RESPECT TO THE LOCKING/RATCHETING MECHANISM THET IS SUPPOSED TO ALLOW THE SEAT BELT TO BE LOCKED IN A TIGHT POSITION TO HOLD THE OCCUPANTS IN THE SEATS BETTER FOR HIGH LATERAL FORCES. UNFORTUNATLY, THE DESIGN OF THE ASSEMBLY FREQUENTLY ALLOWS (AND CAUSES DUE TO RETRACT ANGLES) THE BELT TO FEED INTO THE RETRACTOR FOLDED OVER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE RETRACT SPRING DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO PULL THE THE BELT ALL OF THE WAY IN, WHICH IT MUST DO TO RELEASE THE RATCHETING MECHANISM. THE RESULT IS A JAMMED BELT THAT IS PREVENTED FROM BEING PULLED OUT BY THE LOCKING MECHANISM AND PREVENTED FROM RETRACTING FROM THE FOLDED BELT. SINCE I KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I AM VERY CAREFULL WHEN TAKING OFF THE BELT, BUT IT STILL HAPPENS OCCASIONALY. THE PASSENGER SIDE JAMS MUCH MORER FREQUENTLY DUE TO VARYING PEOPLE NOT FAMILIER WITH THE CARE THAT MUST BE TAKEN TO PREVENT A JAM. I CAN CLEAR THE JAM BY GETTING OUT OF THE CAR, KNEELING ON THE GROUND AND WORKING THE BELT IN AND JERKING OUT UNTIL IT WRAPS ALL OF THE WAY IN TWISTED. THIS USUALLY TAKES AROUND 20 - 30 MINUTES TO ACCOMPLISH. I HAVE HAD TO DO THIS AROUND 50 TIMES NOW. SINCE IT IS ILLEGAL AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE

STEERING COLUMN LOCKS UP DUE TO FAULTY STEERING WHEEL LOCKING MECHANISM. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALER TO REPAIR. CONSUMER NOW ASKEING THAT CHEVROLET REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE. *AK *ML REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN ARE DEFECTIVE. YH REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

THIS VEHICLE HAS A LOCKOUT ON THE STANDARD TRANSMISSION THAT REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO SHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR DIRECTLY TO 4TH GEAR AT INTERVALS I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE. A LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH TELLING THE DRIVER TO SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 4TH AND IF IT IS NOT EXPECTED OR NOTICED ( MOSTLY WHEN TURNING AND YOUR EYES ARE FOCUSED ON THE ROAD) CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN SPEED. THIS HAS CAUSED DRIVERS BEHIND ME TO STAND ON THEIR BRAKES TO KEEP FROM HITTING MY VEHICLE IN THE REAR ,AND HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL DRIVERS BECOMING QUITE IRATE WITH ME. *AK

SINCE ORDERING THIS VEHICLE THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS FACTORY DEFECTS AND OVERSIGHTS WHICH CONTINUE TO PLAGUE THE AUTOMOBILE. NO SAFETY DEFECT (S) LISTED IN SUMMARY. *AK

DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SEAT BELTS WILL NOT RELEASE FROM THE RETRACTING MECHANISM, CAUSING THE SEAT BELTS TO BECOME INOPERABLE. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

STERING COLUMN DID MOVE, BUT DRIVERS INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) ON DASH REPORTED STEERING COLUMN LOCKED/FAILED. FIXED BY DEALER, BUT NOT FIRST COMPLAINT I HAVE HEARD OF. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. *AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN LOCKED UP, CAUSING A COLLISION WHICH RESULTED IN INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED SEVERALTIMES FOR STEERING LOCKING UP PRIOR TO THE COLLISION.

DEALER REPLACED MIRROR ONCE, SECOND DEALER RETIGHTENED TO WINDSHIELD, BUT PROBLEM REMAINS. (2) DRIVE BELTS MAKE GROWLING SOUND AT IDLE, A/C ON, WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN PARK & REVERSE, OR BETWEEN REVERSE & DRIVE. BELT & TENSIONER REPLACED PER EXISTING SERVICE ADVISORY, BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. (3) REAR MOUNTED CD CHANGER DOES NOT FUNCTION IF VEHICLE IS STARTED SOON AFTER INSERTING CD CARTRIDGE; "ERR" DISPLAYED ON RADIO.

I HAVE HEARD FROM MY CORVETE CLUB ABOUT OTHER CORVETTES THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING!!! IT HAS CAUSED ACCIDENTS, AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT IT RECURRING.

PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT, IT BINDS AT THE CORNER AND WILL GET STUCK IN THE OUT POSITION. THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND REPLACED THE SEAT BELT, BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT. *AK

CHAMPION CHEVROLET IN AUSTIN, TX AND LES STANFORD CHEVROLET IN DETROIT, MI BOTH SAID THEY REPAIR THIS ISSUE ALL THE TIME. MY CONCERN IS WHAT IF IT HAD BROKEN IN THE LOCKED POSITION WHILE I WAS DRIVING? I THINK GM NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK ACTUATOR WITH A MORE ROBUST UNIT. *AKY REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THIS CAR THROUGH A PARKING LOT (LUCKILY). I WAS UNABLE TO STEER ALTOGETHER AND SIMPLY HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR WHERE IT WAS. THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO IN RALEIGH, NC (BOBBY MURRAY), WHERE THE CAR CURRENTLY IS, HAD 3 OTHER CORVETTES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON THAT DAY. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM HAD BEEN OCCURRING FAIRLY OFTEN BUT CHEVROLET HAD NOT RECALLED THE CARS. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? PLEASE HELP. REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM SERVICE LIGHT FIRST CAME ON IN JUNE 1999. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND THEY REPLACED 2 ELECTRONIC BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL (EBTCM) MODULES. THEY FOUND AN INTERNALLY SHORTED EBTCM. IN JULY 1999, THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM SERVICE CAME ON AGAIN. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN THEY FOUND AND REPLACED ONE INTERNALLY FAULTY ABS ELECTRONIC BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL MODULE (EBTCM). I PICKED THE CAR UP ON 07/29/99. ON 07/30/99 I STARTED THE CAR IN THE MORNING AND THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON A FEW SECONDS AFTER STARTING. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THE CAUSE OR WHAT TO DO. APPEARS TO ME TO BE HEAT RELATED-COMBINATION OF OUTSIDE TEMP. AND TEMP. OF SYSTEM. THREE MODULES HAVE BEEN REPLACED TO DATE AND HAVE FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ALSO DESCRIBED AS "YAW RATE SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION" ON SERVICE INVOICE.

STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP WHILE GOING IN REVERSE. VEHICLE HAD TO BE PUT IN PARK AND THE KEY HAD TO BE PUT IN THE IGNITION AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED THE VEHICLE LOCKED UP, IT WOULDN'T COME LOOSE. DEALER HAS NOT SEEN VEHICLE. *AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

THIS "LUXURY" VEHICLE THAT I PURCHASED WITH ONLY 48 MILES ON IT BRAND NEW IN OCTOBER OF 1998 FIRST BROKE DOWN ON DECEMBER 17, 1998. SINCE DECEMBER 19, 1998 MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN OFF THE ROAD 42 DAYS AND IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH 15 REPAIR ORDERS ALL ON THE COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP NOW TELLS ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO FOR ME I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CHEVROLET CORPORATION AND WAS ADVISED TO RETAIN LEGAL COUNSEL. MY SITUATION MEETS TWO-FOLD THE NORTH CAROLINA LEMON LAW REQUIREMENTS. THE GAS NEEDLE MOVES DOWN TO PAST THE EMPTY MARK AND THE COMPUTER SOUNDS ITS WARNING SIGNAL , THE COMPUTER READ LOW FUEL, LIMITED HANDLING, ALSO THE COMPUTER READS MY RIGHT REAR TIRE AS BEING FLAT AND SOUNDS ITS ALARM WHILE DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE SENDS FALSE SIGNALS. ONE DAY AFTER ONLY HAVING HAD PURCHASED IT FOR 6 MONTHS IT WOULDN'T EVEN START IN A SHOPPING LOT. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ON THE INTERSTATE, ESPECIALLY AS A FEMALE. *AK
