| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The abs, traction control, and active handling indicators started coming on when starting vehicle. vehicle is 2001 chevrolet corvette with 32,000 miles. i took the vehicle in for repair and was told it would cost $3,189 to replace a valve and a module (bpmv and ebcm). i though this was unusual for two parts to go out on a vehicle with such low miles. the technician told me that there had been other vehicles with the same problem. i feel that i should not have to pay the full price for the failure of a defective safety device on my vehicle, especially when it fails at 32,000 miles. although i have only had to rely on abs once since i purchased the vehicle new in 2001, i feel that it saved me from getting into an accident. now, the feature doesn't work and gm has made it nearly cost prohibitive to get it fixed! when i had a defective seat belt on another gm vehicle, gm was forced to fix it for free. i feel the same should occur on any vehicles whose safety devices, such as abs, fail at less than 100,000 miles. *jb |
