2006 Chevrolet Corvette complaints

FROM TIME TO TIME I RECEIVE A DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) MESSAGE "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM". I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS MESSAGE AND HAVE FOUND THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED BY GM COVERING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE RESEATED THE CONNECTOR ON THE STEERING COLUMN OUTLINED BY THE TSB ELIMINATING THE DIC MESSAGE FOR A FEW MONTHS WHEN THE MESSAGE THEN RETURNS. WHILE THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT RESULTED IN CATASTROPHIC FAILURE, IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DO SO. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS DIC MESSAGE AND THE POTENTIAL THAT ACTIVE HANDLING COULD BE COMPROMISED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE DRIVER OF OUR VEHICLE COULD LOOSE CONTROL RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. ODI INVESTIGATION # EA09-002. *TR

MY ROOF DELAMINTATED ON MY 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE WHILE DRIVING. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL. *TR

BOUGHT USED 06 CORVETTE. BROUGHT CAR IN TO GM DEALER FOR REPAIR OF REAR WINDOW SINCE MY TINT INSTALLER SAID WINDOW WAS DEFECTIVE. I ALSO NOTICED THE IMAGES THROUGH THE WINDOW ARE BLURRED BADLY. THE TINT APPEARS TO CLARIFY THE IMAGES. DEALER SAID MUST SEE GM REP FOR REPLACEMENT. NOTICED ANOTHER 06 CORVETTE HAD SAME BLURRED REAR WINDOW, HOWEVER THE 09 CORVETTE REAR WINDOW IS IMPROVED BUT STILL CREATES BLURRED VISION. *TR

MESSAGE OF "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING" COMES UP IN DISPLAY WHILE DRIVING. USUALLY DURING OR AFTER MAKING TURN. MESSAGE DOES NOT APPEAR WHEN CAR IS RESTARTED. IT WILL APPEAR AT ODD TIMES WITHOUT WARNING OR NOISE. *TR

2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE- SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING LIGHT COMES ON, RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LOCKS WHEN TURNING RIGHT. DEALER INSTALLED A CLIP TO HARNESS UNDER STEERING COLUMN TO FIX. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A SMALL U-TURN AT 5 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE NEAR THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. HE NOTICED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING, UNWARRANTED BRAKE ACTIVATION COULD OCCUR AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT PROPERLY DIAGNOSED AND REMEDIED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 18,000. UPDATED 5/14/09 *CN UPDATED 05/14/09.*JB

CAR STARTS BUCKING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, WHITE SMOKE BLOWING OUT EXHAUST, EVENTUALLY CAR DIES. DEALER STATES, 02 SENSOR IN BANK ONE FAILED. CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER FOR SAME FAILURE 5 TIMES IN A 4 MONTH PERIOD. P0131, P1133, P0300 AND P0171. PURCHASED VEHICLE JUNE 20, 2008 FIST ISSUE WAS JULY 15, 2008. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AS A GM CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE WITH LESS THEN 25000 MILES ON IT. GM CASE # 10447543. CAR WAS LAST IN THE SHOP 11/2008 AND HAS BEEN PUT IN MY GARAGE FOR THE WINTER. WILL NOT KNOW IF PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED UNTIL SPRING. *TR

DRIVING BACK FROM LUNCH TO THE OFFICE I WAS CHANGING LANES ON A HEAVILY TRAFFIC AREA. WAS GOING ABOUT 30MPH WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO FISH TAIL OUT OF CONTROL GOING SIDEWAYS INTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SLAMMING INTO A ELECTRICAL POST. BOTH MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER WERE IN AWE. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR AND IT SEEMS EVENTHOUGH I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS IT KEPT INCREASING. THE HIT WAS SO HARD IT DAMAGED THE POST AND THE CAR SEVERELY. I STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED SINCE IT HAS TRACTION CONTROL IT SHOULD HAVE NEVER FISHTAILED AND AT THAT LOW SPEED. NO TIRE MARKS OR ANY SIGN OF ACCELERATION WERE FOUND. I AM TRYING TO FIND ANSWERS TO WHAT HAPPENED. ITS SCARY. *TR

ATTENTION NEEDED!! ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE MODE!!! DRIVING AT 50MPH THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM SUDDENLY (AND VERY VIOLENTLY) LOCKS UP BOTH FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER WHEELS, BRINGING THE CAR TO A HALT WHILE THROWING THE VEHICLE TO THE LEFT LANE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID SINCE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE EVENT OR FIND A COMPUTER CODE TO VERIFY, THEN CAN DO NOTHING TO HELP ME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE MODE!! VERY EASILY I COULD HAVE KILLED A PEDESTRIAN / MOTORCYCLIST IN THE LANE TO MY LEFT!!! *TR

MY ISSUE IS AN APPARENT DESIGN FLAW WITH THE POWER CONVERTIBLE TOP ON MY 2006 CORVETTE. DURING THE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE TOP, THE CORNER OF THE PLASTIC SIDE RAILS ON EACH SIDE OF THE EACH (DRIVER'S & PASSENGER'S SIDE) CONTACTS THE INNER LINER OF THE CONVERTIBLE. THIS HAS CAUSED A HOLE IN MY LINER WHICH, MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. THEY STATED THAT THE REASON THEY WON'T FIX IT IS BECAUSE GM HASN'T ISSUED A TSB (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN) FOR THIS ISSUE. I KNOW OF SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ASSISTING ME. *TR

WHEN THE AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE IS OVER 95 DEGREES THE FOLLOWING ELECTRICAL GREMLINS OCCUR ON MY 2006 CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE. 1. WHEN THE MEMORY BUTTON ON THE DOOR IS PRESSED, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL GO TO ITS PRESET POSITION. THE SEAT DOES NOT MOVE. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT 85% OF THE TIME. DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 80 DEGREES. 2. WITH THE CAR RUNNING, AC AND RADIO ON, IF THE MEMORY BUTTON ON THE DOOR IS PRESSED, THE RADIO WILL TURN OFF ALONG WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. MOST TIMES THE RADIO WILL COME BACK ON WITHIN A MINUTE. THE AC MUST BE TURNED ON WITH THE AC CONTROL BUTTONS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 40 GOING AROUND 75MPH WHEN MY CAR JUMPED TO THE RIGHT ABOUT 4 FEET AND THEN MY BRAKES WENT CRAZY. IT FELT LIKE I HAD 4 FLAT TIRES. I MANAGED TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER AND WHEN I WAS STOPPED I NOTICED MY SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING WARNING WAS ON. I HAD TO DISABLE THE ACTIVE HANDLING TO FINISH MY TRIP. IT WAS A GOOD THING IT WAS EARLY IN THE MORNING OR I WOULD HAVE WRECK IF THERE WERE OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE ACTIVE HANDLING BRAKE MODULE. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. THIS REALLY SCARED ME AND I BELIEVED IT SHOULD BE CHECKED OUT. *TR

TOOK THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WHEN I PICKED IT UP, THEY ADDED 2 QUARTS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID TO THE CAR. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AND LEFT. 5000 MILES LATER, WHILE ENTERING THE FREEWAY, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STALLED. WENT FROM 45 MPH DOWN TO 5-10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I WAS ABOUT 3 SECONDS AWAY FROM BEING REAR ENDED BY AN 18 WHEELER. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND I ADVISED THEM TO CALL ME WITH THE DIAGNOSIS. THEY CALLED AND SAID MY TRANSMISSION SOLENOID WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE CHANGE. I THOUGHT ABOUT THE 2 QUARTS OF FLUID AND THOUGHT TO MYSELF, WHY WAS IT LOW AND DID THIS CAUSE THE BREAKDOWN? I CALLED AND TOLD THEM NOT TO TOUCH THE CAR UNTIL I WAS PRESENT. WENT TO DEALER, THE 32 YEAR EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST CHECKED THE LEVEL OF FLUID AND "OH MY GOD, IT IS VERY LOW AGAIN". I HAD THEIR SERVICE MANAGER COME AND TOLD HIM I WANTED A GM REP TO INSPECT MY CAR BEFORE ANY REPAIRS WHERE DONE TO IT AND THAT HE DID NOT HAVE MY CONSENT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. 8 DAYS LATER THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLS AND SAYS "I FIXED YOUR CAR, THE FLUID WAS NEVER LOW AND COME PICK UP YOUR CAR OR I WILL CHARGE YOU STORAGE AND RENTAL IF YOU DON'T". I CALLED GM AND THEM TALK TO THIS GUY AND BEG HIM TO LEAVE THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL A REP WAS AVAILABLE, AND HE SAID " NO WAY, I WANT THIS CAR OUT OF HERE. SO I GO TO PICK UP THE CAR AND NOTICED THE REPAIR INVOICE DID NOT INDICATE THE FLUID WAS LOW AND I ASKED HIM TO FIX IT AND HE REFUSED AND SAID TH

2006 CHEVY CONVERTIBLE CORVETTE (MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT TO MYSELF) HAS FAILED TO CRANK ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS FROM MAY 06 THROUGH OCT 06. THE FIRST AND SECOND TIME WITHIN A MONTH. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO CLOSET DEALERSHIP ON EACH OCCASION. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF PROBLEM. FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE IN GOING OUT OF TOWN - DON'T TRUST VEHICLE NOT TO CRANK. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH, THE ROOF SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE ROOF.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE CENTER OF THE ROOF CAME APART WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. THE FIBERGLASS RAISED UP AND THE ADHESIVE WAS MISSING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THAT THE ROOF NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, HOWEVER IT WOULD ONLY BE A TEMPORARY REPAIR. THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL # 06V181000 PERTAINING TO THE ROOF AND PILLARS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN.

2006 CORVETTE ROOF DELAMINATION AND DETACHMENT WHICH COULD LEAD TO INJURY TO INDIVIDUALS IN NEAR PROXIMITY TO VEHICLE WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN - DETACHMENT HASN'T OCCURRED YET HOWEVER IN MY OPINION POSES A SERIOUS RISK OF INJURY TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. *NM

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE AT AROUND 50 MPH, AND THE PAINTED ROOF SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND TOOK THE ROOF OFF, AND WENT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT IT WAS USUALLY A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR YOU TO GO IN AND HAVE IT INSPECTED, AND IF IT CHECKED OUT TO BE BAD, THEY WOULD FIX IT. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULDN'T GET A ROOF PANEL FOR THIS CAR FOR 20-30 DAYS AND THAT THEY WOULD GIVE ME LOANER AND I COULD LEAVE THE CAR THERE. I AM OUT OF TOWN ON BUSINESS, AND WILL NOT BE HERE FOR 20- 30 DAYS, AND MY OPINION WOULD BE THAT IF THE DEALERS KNOW THERE IS A RECALL, THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OF PANELS AVAILABLE IF THE ROOF IS UNDER RECALL. I ALSO BELIEVE THEY SHOULD REPLACE ALL THESE PANELS ON ALL VIN NUMBERS AFFECTED. THE ROOF PANEL COMING LOOSE AND FLYING OFF AND EITHER DAMAGING MY VEHICLE, OR EVEN WORSE, CAUSING A LOSS OF LIFE TO SOMEONE IN THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WOULD BE TRAGIC. CHEVROLET SHOULD OWN UP TO THEIR ERRORS AND FIX THE PROBLEM PROPERLY, NOT BY REPAIRING THE PANELS THAT WERE DEFECTIVE. THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED. *NM

ROOF DELAMINATION ON 2006 CORVETTE Z06. IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. GM MUST RECALL ALL CORVETTES AND FIX THE PROBLEM!! *NM

I HAD SEPARATION ON MY ORIGINAL TOP AND RECEIVED THE "FIX" AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL MEMO BY GM, HOWEVER, THE NEW TOP WITH THE "FIX" IS SEPARATING ALSO. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG BEFORE GM STOPS TRYING TO PATCH THE PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO MAKE THE TOP ONE PIECE. *JB

ROOF PANELS ON 2005 & 2006 CHEVROLET COUPES COME LOOSE FROM THE ROOF FRAME AND MAY FLY OFF THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. MY PANEL CAME LOOSE BUT DID NOT FLY OFF. GM / CHEVROLET HAS PARTS BACK ORDERED 90 DAYS AND IS ONLY ABLE TO PROVIDE A TEMPORARY FIX WITH NO GUARANTEE OF ADEQUACY. *NM

SHORTLY AFTER DELIVERY IN JAN. 2006, MY 2006 C6 CORVETTE COUPE REMOVABLE TOP STARTED MAKING CREAKING AND POPPING NOISES. AS IT BEGAN TO BE MORE FREQUENT AND NOISY, I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR WARRANTY SERVICE. THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE TOP HOLD DOWN CLAMPS. FOR AWHILE, IT APPEARED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. HOWEVER, THE TOP HAS STARTED MAKING THE SAME NOISES AGAIN. NOW, I FIND THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TOP. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ROOF PANEL DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE IS AN NHTSA RECALL, # 06V181000, REGARDING THE STRUCTURE: BODY: ROOF AND PILLARS. THE VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

2006 CORVETTE COUPE TOP DEFECT REPORT. THE BONDING OF THE SHELL SKIN TO THE FRAME OF MY CORVETTES PORTABLE PAINTED TOP CAME LOOSE AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO GRAB THE SHELL AND BRING THE CAR TO A CONTROLLED STOP. THE DEALER TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, BUT THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE A CLEAR TENTED TOP THAT MAY HAVE THE SAME DEFECT, BUT THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO MY REQUEST TO DETERMINE IF THE DEFECT EXISTS IN THE CLEAR TENTED TOP. I DO NOT WANT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR A DEATH ON THE HIGHWAY, SO I WILL DRIVE THE CAR ONLY ON LOW SPEED ROADS UNTIL THE CHEVY DEALER GETS ME AN ANSWER ON THE CONDITION OF THIS CLEAR TOP. GM SHOULD GO ON REPORT SINCE GM FAILED TO REALIZE THE TOP ASSEMBLY BONDING DEFECT EXTENDS INTO THEIR LATER BUILT CARS. DATE OF PURCHASE 2/2006. *NM

ROOF PANEL SEPARATED FROM METAL FRAME. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AT LOW SPEEDS OF 0-20 MPH. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN INFORMED.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING 20MPH OR WHILE IN REVERSING. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE VIBRATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

ROOF PANEL SEPARATED FROM FRAME IN SEVERAL PLACES. *JB

2006 CORVETTE COUPE, ROOF DELAMINATING PROBLEM. *JB

2006 CORVETTE TOP HAS DELAMINATED *JB

2006 CORVETTE COUPE, ROOF DELAMINATING, DEALER TOOK CAR AND IS HOLDING INDEFINITELY, GM WON'T ACT ANY FASTER, WON'T ISSUE A GLASS ROOF UNTIL NEW ROOFS COME IN. I WAS TOLD I CAN'T HAVE MY CAR UNTIL NEW ROOF ARRIVES AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT IS. *JB

HEARD OF THE DELAMINATION PROBLEM WITH THE C6 CORVETTES.. HEARD A POP, AND PULLED OFF ROAD TO INSPECT. FOUND REAR PORTION OF PAINTED TOP DELAMINATED FROM FRAME. SCHEDULED FOR DEALER TO INSPECT IN A WEEK. *NM

ROOF PANEL SEPARATED ON 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. VEHICLE HAS 1800 MILES, DAMAGE OCCURRED AT 1650 MILES. PANEL IS LOOSE FROM FRAME 80% AROUND. IF THIS PANEL HAD COME OFF IN TRAFFIC IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS DAMAGE TO OTHERS. GM IS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH I HEARD A POPPING SOUND AND THEN WIND NOISE. I THEN SAW LIGHT COMING THROUGH BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND TOP. THE TOP HAD DELAMINATED FROM THE DRIVER SIDE ACROSS THE FRONT AND ABOUT 3/4TH OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE BOTH TOPS FOR THIS CAR ( THE PAINTED TOP AND THE CLEAR TOP )IT WAS THE PAINTED TOP THAT DELAMINATED. I REMOVED THE PAINTED TOP AND PUT ON THE CLEAR TOP. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE ORDERED A NEW TOP FOR THE CAR. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND DRIVING AT THE 65 MPH SPEED LIMIT THE TOP WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BLOWN OFF THE CAR AND POSSIBLY HIT ANOTHER CAR OR CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL AND IS TRYING TO GET THE LATEST,IMPROVED TOP FOR ME. *NM

I OWN A NEW 2006 CORVETTE COUPE. ON JULY 5TH I BEGAN TO DEVELOP A CREAKING SOUND NEAR THE ROOF FRAME AND I BEGAN TO NOTICE WIND NOISE AT 60 MPH. ON JULY 7TH, MY PAINTED (VICTORY RED) ROOF PANEL SEPARATED FROM IT'S FRAME. FORTUNATELY IT DID NOT BLOW OFF WHILE DRIVING AND NO ONE WAS HURT. THE FACT THAT GM IS/HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR ALL '05/'06 COUPES IS UNBELIEVABLE. MY DEALER HAS BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH BUT HIS HANDS ARE TIED BY GM. THE PAINTED ROOFS ARE BACKORDERED UNTIL LATE AUGUST AND NO ALTERNATIVE WAS OFFERED BY GM. IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO USE MY $50K CAR, IT WAS NECESSARY FOR ME TO PURCHASE A TRANSPARENT ROOF. THAT IS NOT THE WAY TO TREAT LOYAL CUSTOMERS (THIS IS MY 4TH VETTE). IS GM WAITING FOR A MOTORCYLCE RIDER TO BE DECAPITATED BEFORE THEY ISSUE A RECALL? *NM

THE PAINTED ROOF OF MY CAR FLEW OFF ON THE HIGHWAY THIS MORNING. THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME 2006 CORVETTE'S BUT, NOT ON ALL AND MINE ISN'T UNDER RECALL. WE CONTACTED GMAC THE PERSON WE SPOKE WITH SAID YES THIS CAR WASN'T RECALLED BUT, YOUR STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING. WE SAID WE UNDERSTAND THIS BUT, THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND WASN'T AND ADVISED WE ARE CONCERNED FOR THE OTHER CARS THAT WERE PRODUCED RIGHT BEFORE AND AFTER MINE COULD HAVE THE SAME CONDITION. SHE DIDN'T SEEM TOO CONCERNED. *JB
