2000 Chevrolet Corvette Electrical system Problems

“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. …”

“In august 07 my 2000 Corvette coupe ebcm failed. The car has only 40,000 miles on it & is only driven on weekends. I am a mechanic by trade. I removed the module & had it rebuilt for $200 since GM quoted me $1300 for a new one.

Turn signals quit working at any time they please. I have to put the 4-ways on for about 5 seconds and then off to make the signals work again.”

“In early april I had a recall work completed on my 2000 Corvette done by buss cheverolet of shawano, a couple of months later the recall work failed, so parson's chevy of antigo, we redid the recall work. Now on 08-27-07 the recall work failed again! This will be the third time in less than 6 months I will have to have recall work done on my car for the column lock failure.
