2009 Chevrolet Corvette Electrical system Problems

“I was driving the car through a residential area when the red air bag warning light in the instrument panel went on. I pulled the car to the side of the road and shut it off. Upon restarting the car, the light stayed on after the lamp tests completed. I then moved the driver's seat forward a bit (the car has power memory seats) and the light went off. I continued driving the car on a couple of errands w/o the light coming back on.”

“My remote control would not activate the door locks. I took the battery out of the remote and tapped it on the ground a few times and the remote worked. Upon entering the vehicle, the remote stopped working again. This means that the car would not recognize me being in the vehicle. I was trapped for several minutes with no air in the vehicle. I kept hitting the remote and the vehicle recognized my remote again. I immediately took the remote and had the battery changed. Upon getting the remote changed, the vehicle failed to recognize my remote control again. …”

“The power in my car (2009 Chevrolet Corvette) turned off after I entered the car and shut the door. Since the doors are operated electrically I could not open the doors to get out. In order to exit the car I had to remove the removable hardtop and climb out of the car. If I did not have a removable hardtop I would not have been able to exit the car without assistance. This is the first time that the car has lost electrical power/shut down after I have entered the car. I have not taken the car to the dealer to fix the problem.”

“While driving on I-275 I first experienced a muffled noise in the car that sounded like wind. The car was not holding the road as it usually does and the rear swayed a bit. Next, there was a sound like a thump. My dashboard lit up like a christmas tree with a warning that traction control was not working and that I should seek immediate repair. Next, the vehicle lost a lot of its power and decelerated rather suddenly form 70 to approx 45 MPH. Car had no energy or pep and light said engine power loss. Fortunately nobody was behind me when the deceleration occurred. …”
