Corvette

  • 60,000 miles
The contact owned a 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. While driving 45 mph with the cruise control activated, the instrument panel indicated that the front driver side tire pressure was high and then low. The message "service active handling" flashed across the instrument panel. The vehicle then slid to the left, spun 360 degrees, and crashed into the median and several trees. The contact was knocked unconsciousness and the passenger was fatally injured. The contact was injured and transported to a hospital via ambulance. A police report was filed. The vehicle was totaled and towed. The contact was advised by his attorney not to speak to anyone; therefore, the dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Corvette 8-cyl

  • 78,000 miles
I am writing you regarding a serious safety concern regarding my 2008 Chevrolet Corvette. For many months now I have had a "service traction control light? appear on the driver information center (dic) screen. While the warning is displayed, my traction control system becomes disabled as is evidenced by the icon showing the vehicle skidding. I have been returning my vehicle to two separate Chevrolet dealers for service, but no matter what they do, the problem keeps returning. Right now I can't drive my vehicle for more than a few miles before the problem occurs. This is a serious safety concern, because I'm afraid that I am going to lose control of the car. I have a full General Motors warranty on the vehicle, so this is not a matter of my not being covered for the necessary repairs. Please help.
