THE EBCM TRACTION CONTROL MODULE , ABS CONTROL MODULES AND THE STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR FOR THE C5 CORVETTES MADE FROM 1997 THRU 2000 ARE NO LONGER MANUFACTURED BY GENERAL MOTORS OR LICENSED TO AN AFTER MARKET MANUFACTURER FOR PRODUCTION AS AN AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENT. WHEN THESE MODULES GO BAD THERE IS A RISK FOR ACCIDENTS OR DEATH WHILE DRIVING AS THE ABS SYSTEM THAT WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THESE MODULES WILL LOCK UP ONE OR MORE OF THE BRAKES CAUSING THE DRIVER TO SWERVE INTO OTHER LANES. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR FAILED. WE CORVETTE OWNERS ARE FORCED TO DRIVE WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF BECAUSE WE CANNOT FIND NEW REPLACEMENT EBCM MODULES, ABS MODULES OF STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSORS . OUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO BUY A USED UNIT FROM A TOTALED 1997 THRU 2000 CORVETTE AT HIGH PRICES AND THE ARE ALSO DEFECTIVE AT TIMES ACCORDING TO CORVETTE FPRUM MEMBERS.

I EXPERIENCED LOSS OF CONTROL BY SKIDDING AND ALMOST LEAVING THE ROAD TOWARD A DROPOFF WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE SINCE THE ABS, ACTIVE HANDLING, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN MALFUNCTIONING AT 35MPH ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD APPLYING THE BRAKE AS I WAS GOING AROUND A SHARP CURVE I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION OF THE ABS/AH SYSTEM IS A FAULTY EBCM WHICH IS KNOWN BY COUNTLESS MEMBERS OF THE CORVETTE OWNERS COMMUNITY AS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED A LONG TIME AGO. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITHOUT AN ACTIVE RECALL I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR. SEVERAL TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED IN VARIED SITUATIONS AND I CANNOT RELY ON THESE SAFETY FEATURES TO SAVE MY LIFE IF SOMETHING OCCURS THAT WOULD SEND ME OUT OF CONTROL INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE OR OVER A STEEP CLIFF LIKE IN THE CLOSE CALL I MENTIONED EARLIER IN THIS TEXT. GM DOES NOT VALUE MY LIFE AS MUCH AS I DO AND THIS RECALL WOULD HAVE BANKRUPTED THEM SHORTLY AFTER 2000. I'M SURE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS O

THE STEERING COLUMN OF MY CAR LOCKED AND I HAD TO TOW THE CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IN 2004. THE RECALL WAS NEVER FIXED ON MY CAR. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THERE A 0 OPEN RECALLS ON MY CAR AND WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1500 FOR THE REPAIR. I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF THE CAR AND AM VERY SURE THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT FIXED BECAUSE I'VE NEVER TAKEN THE CAR TO ANY DEALERSHIP FOR ANY REASON. I ASKED FOR RECORDS OF THE REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DON'T HAVE RECORDS. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

MY 2000 CHEVROLET CORVETTE HAS APPROXIMATELY 57,500 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT. RECALL #04006 WAS COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE BY DEALER CODE 20385 BACK IN 2004. I DID SEE THEY RELEASED RECALL'S #04006B AND 04006C AS WELL. I STARTED MY CAR ON 7/30/2019 AND I WAS SITTING IN THE GARAGE WHEN I SAW THE "STEERING COLUMN LOCK" MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR WAS STARTED AND NOW THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED AND CAN NOT BE TURNED. I REACHED OUT TO TWO LOCAL SAN DIEGO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS; BOB STALL CHEVROLET AND JIMMIE JOHNSON CHEVROLET, CORPORATE GM, CORPORATE CHEVROLET AND THE NTSB. THEY ALL TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, THEY SAID I WILL HAVE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY! I COULD HAVE TAKEN THE CAR OUT FOR A DRIVE AND HAD THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP AS IM DRIVING. DOING RESEARCH ONLINE AND READING THE RECALL BULLETIN IS IT POSSIBLE THE REPAIR WAS NOT DONE PROPERLY? I DON'T KNOW, I DID NOT OWN THE CAR WHEN THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. I WAS GIVEN A CASE
