What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 chevrolet corvette. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, when "disable ride service control" message was displayed as the steering wheel seized. The contact stated she lost control of the vehicle, spun around and colliding with a parked vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle left the ground as there was no visible skid marks on the roadway. The air bags did deployed.
I just had my mandated 08 c6 emissions recall done. Now while in drive at a stop light, the steering wheel vibrates, along with parts of the drivers door and the center console. It is the new resonance from the mid cats and RPM idle change. Plus I drove it 60 miles, then took temp readings with a laser temp gun...my right pant leg was at 95 degrees, and the seat belt plastic attachment was at 115 degrees. I then measured the temp inside the center console...140 degrees.
