Chevrolet Complaint - Abs and traction lights come on - brake module and valve
brake module and valve - Complaint
I have a 2002 chevrolet corvette with 41545 miles. The abs and traction lights come on. My GM dealer states that he did a diag and found DTC C1214 electronic brake control module ckt. needs to start with replacement of brake module and valve $ 3729.25 plus tax or module only $ 1635.37 plus tax. My complaint is that my service advisor admitted that this is a rare problem for 41545 miles and is a most probably a defective module. In any case my car is over nine years old and not covered by the warranty

Your car is almost 10 years old. All parts can break down. The number of miles doesn't matter. You got stuck with the rare part breaking down. Tough luck, suck it up, fix it or sell the car.

We're also talking about a corvette here. Not exactly a practical vehicle I would expect to last forever with little problems.

I figure if I get 10 years out of any car and then have to fix something electronic, then so be it. I had to replace an electronic switch in my vehicle when it was only 5 years old. Anything can happen at any time. Once there out of warranty, it all falls in your lap--unless there is a nationwide recall.

Cheap cars usually have cheap repairs,,, there's almost nothing on my 2001 KIA that costs more than a couple hundred bucks... My wife wants a new one and the car has only 50,000 miles on it and I believe in driving a car until the wheels fall off. we are bound to have a conflict this summer!

of, that's exactly right! My dad used to say that the more buttons (before electronics), the more things can go wrong. I guess this could also apply to applicances!
My husband and I were discussing cars recently. We agreed that if you can't afford the repairs, a luxury car may not be the right choice--especially a used one with a seemingly good price. (We know someone in that situation right now.)

My Kia has been in the shop twice for covered repairs...cost me nada! sister-in-law has a fancy shmancy Buick which is ALWAYS in the shop! Costs them arms and legs for repairs!!

We had a Plymouth van awhile back and the motor for the driver's side window needed replaced to the tune of about $600. That van knew we'd had the window fixed, because a couple of weeks later, the same thing happened to the passengers' side window!
