What owners wrote
My son owns a 2006 corvette c6. He was driving for 2 years when his car went out of control and suffered a traumatic brain injury, in a coma for 6 months. His car had a "service traction stability control" indication on the dic twice within a 30 day period. He was quick to service this warning immediately with the chevrolet dealership as the car was under warranty. Now I understand there is a real problem with the traction stability control for 2006 corvette and GM has now issued a recall.
In 2010, there was a recall on my vehicle for "steering wheel position sensor." the issue was the "service active handling" warning notice was intermittently appearing in the driver information center. The remedy was to install a plastic clip. This remedy did not fix the issue and I was told I needed a new "steering wheel position sensor" and that it was not covered by the recall and it would be at my expense.
