Ebcm was recalled on several other GM products but not the Corvette, but the forum said a problems exists. I have 100,030 miles and the' service handling system ' warning is on which can be imitated from the ebcm.
The engine had an exhaust valve failure causing the motor to lock up and requiring over $5000 in repairs. When this happened the car was forced to be stopped on the highway without power brakes or steering.
Engine had excessive noise. After reading several Corvette complaints about improperly machined heads by general motor's supplier linamar, and that numerous vehicles have had valves drop and catastrophic engine failure, I had my car with checked at a specialty shop. I had several valve guides outside of service specifications. The car is being repaired with proper re-machining of the heads to make the valve guides concentric, new intake and exhaust valve guides installed, as well as new seals, valves, springs, etc. 88% of the Corvette forum members who have had their cylinder heads tested for excessive valve guide wear, were out of service specifications. Source: www.corvetteforum.com/forums/...-registry.html GM needs to issue a recall on this issue. There have been numerous engine failures as a result of a dropped valve into a cylinder. This stops the engine, power steering, and power brakes which can cause accidents and fires. GM is very aware of this issue, but refuses to do anything about this huge safety risk to drivers, passengers, and nearby vehicles if the engine fails going down the road. Regards.
