| While driving on i-275 i first experienced a muffled noise in the car that sounded like wind. the car was not holding the road as it usually does and the rear swayed a bit. next, there was a sound like a thump. my dashboard lit up like a christmas tree with a warning that traction control was not working and that i should seek immediate repair. next, the vehicle lost a lot of its power and decelerated rather suddenly form 70 to approx 45 mph. car had no energy or pep and light said engine power loss. fortunately nobody was behind me when the deceleration occurred. i exited the expressway and was just few miles from hotel and parked it. had it towed the next day to a dealer in tampa. do not yet know diagnosis on the car. will probably hear tomorrow. but it was a real shock to have this happen so suddenly and the deceleration was sudden and if car had been behind me it could have been a problem. | |||

| The power in my car (2009 cheverolet corvette) turned off after i entered the car and shut the door. since the doors are operated electrically i could not open the doors to get out. in order to exit the car i had to remove the removable hardtop and climb out of the car. if i did not have a removable hardtop i would not have been able to exit the car without assistance. this is the first time that the car has lost electrical power/shut down after i have entered the car. i have not taken the car to the dealer to fix the problem. | |||

| 2009 c6 chevrolet corvette coupe 1. my wife & i got into acr to back out of garage. the battery failed when i pressed ignition button. we were locked in car which has no manual door handles. 2. we escaped vehicle by removing roof panel and climbing out of roof. 3. car towed to dealer who informed us of emergency driver side door release in the back hatch on rear wheel well that must be pulled toward back of car. if inside car, passenger must crawl between seats to access the release. was not informed of this release at time of purchase. this vehicle is a death trap if the battery or electrical system fails or if the driver side door release cable snaps or jams in an accident. emergency escape requires climbing through roof or into back hatch - elderly people could not do what we had to do to exit the car. there should be manual release for both doors on the doors. the batteries used by gm for these cars are notorious for quick drawdown & should be replaced at gm's expense with quality batteries such as odyssey pc1200. *tr | |||
