| 1998-2004 corvette would get the infamous reduced engine power, traction control failure and a host of random failure codes. still getting the random dtc failure codes. directional signals and hazard lights stopped working intermittently while driving which is very dangerous. i have read so many articles on the internet and it seems that a lot of owners are experienced similar failures. this car is dangerous and not wrote worthy because of all the electrical problems. at one point while driving the car almost stopped because of some electrical failure. the government should look into this situation with chevrolet corvette's from 1998 through 2004 because after doing a lot of research on the internet i see a lot of complaints. why hasn't this been a major recall for general motors? ongoing problem and the dealer has no answers for a resolution. also found out the factory wheels are cracking on the inside which is very unsafe to drive. i found this out when i had new original style tires put on the car. general motors should recall and repair all these issues that many corvette owners are experiencing. *tr | |||

| I own a 2002 chevrolet corvette and have an issue with the electrical system that appears to be an issue that was investigated several years back on another vehicle. however, in doing internet research, it appears many corvette owners have experienced the same problem whereby the turn signals work intermittently and sometimes not at all or just stop working after they have blinked for a few times. i see this as a very dangerous issue as the drivers around you determine their braking and driving skills on what they see and they may get a false sense of warning when the blinker goes out and i stop anyway to make the turn. i would think that i would be cited by law enforcement and this problem appears to be a defect in the design or the manufacturer of the part. *tr | |||
