“The service ABS system, service active handling system and service traction control system alerts came on after simply starting the car. Car ran sluggish. My understanding is that this is a known issue for earlier years corvettes: TSB 06.02.35.002a and TSB 06.02.35.002b. But my Corvette is a 2009 and I have the same exact problem. I have a telescoping steering wheel set to automatically retract and extend.”
NHTSA complaint #10334331, filed 2010-06, 1,020 miles“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. …”
