Problems with 2009 Chevrolet Corvette STEERING

Valve guide issue causing failure to brakes, and power steering, as well as engine blowing

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: http://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. *tr

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. *tr

I am an owner of a 2009 corvette z06 which repeatedly displays the following messages: "service traction control" and "service active handling." my vin is: [xxx] while i have not detected any operational interventions myself, other owners have reported sudden erratic braking causing the vehicle to change direction. obviously, this is a very serious safety issue. i appreciate your efforts to ensure that gm rectifies this defect before further damage occurs. my understanding is that the recall involving this issue (nhtsa no: 10v172000) is limited to my 2005 and 2006. at a minimum, and immediately, this recall should be extended through my 2009 to include defective vehicles like mine. *tr
