2008 Chevrolet Corvette

I am a long time Corvette owner and have purchased many through the years. I recently purchased a 2008 Corvette Coupe with only 30k miles, one owner vehicle. Unbelievable to me, I have had to spend over $4,000 the past month replacing the ECM and most notably the Fuel Pump, to relieve the constant Fuel Smell, not to mention the rack and pinion steering gear needs to be replaced, with again, only 30k miles on the vehicle, and that part is discontinued. The failure of the ECM almost cost my wife and I our life when we were coming home to [XXX] from [XXX] . The car completely lost all power on the highway and we almost got railed by traffic. Not a good situation to say the least. I almost had a heart attack. So we had to have it towed and finally made it home, only to find out the next day after a nice ride, my entire garage was overwhelmed with a gas smell that evening which permeated through the whole house. I took notice that GM covered this exact situation with GM Bulletin # xxx back in 2017, so they KNEW there was a problem! My question is, how can GM not cover this NOW. Many 2008 Corvettes are still being bought and sold. I spent over $2800 for this last week! I am asking you and GM to at least cover 50% of this charge. I don't think that is too much to ask. It's much cheaper than having been sued by our family, should me wife and I have not survived that situation on the road, a case I know they would have won. We should definitely be compensated to say the least! Thanks INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD AND THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL/ ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

I AND OTHER CORVETTE OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE MOST RECENT RECALL OF OTHER GM MODELS. MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL CONSTANTLY BE ON. THE ACTIVE HANDLING WARNING LIGHT WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW ON DASH AND CRUISE CONTROL WILL DISENGAGED AND REENGAGE ON ITS OWN. THE FIX SEEMS TO BE REPLACING THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE SENSOR AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. AFTER READING BLOGS I LOCATED OTHER CORVETTE OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS I.

MY CAR HAS SPENT WEEKS AT AUTONATION CHEVROLET IN ALPHARETTA, GA UNTIL I TOOK IT BACK FROM THEM AND BROUGHT IT TO A CORVETTE DEALER IN ATLANTA, GA TO REPLACE THE BCM AND HOPE TO FIX THE ISSUE FOR NOW. *JS

TRAVELING AT 65 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY, I BRAKE AND PRESSED THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO DOWN SHIFT TO MAKE AN EXIT. I EXITED, MADE THE TURN AND STARTED ACCELERATING. I NOTICE A LOSS OF POWER AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK. THERE WAS NO MESSAGE THAT THE ACTIVE HANDLING WAS ENGAGED. I STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. ALL WAS FINE WHEN I DROVE AGAIN. HOWEVER, IT KEEPS HAPPENING SPORADICALLY WITHOUT ANY CAUSE. ONCE THE SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM LIT ON THE CONTROL PANEL BUT AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE IT HAS NOT APPEARED AGAIN. YET, THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM(OR SOMETHING) KEEP TAPPING THE BRAKES MAKING THE CAR LOSE POWER AND THE STEERING SHAKE. *TR
