Hi , spend most of my time on the C-2 forum , I have a question about my 2012 Grand Sport I bought new ( 6841 miles ) .Driving last week , 3 days or so when in town ( lucky me ) it dies on a local road , service engine light comes on , I waited 10 min. , it started , drove it home when it did it 2 more times. My friend scanned it , one code said low voltage to ECM , there were 3 codes , anyway , off to local Chevy dealer tomorrow , I have extended with Endurance , anyone have an idea what it might be ? , thanks

Hmmm, bad battery smell if you ask me.

I load tested it , gauge shows 14.7 when it's running ..that's what I thought ,

I'd replace it anyway because that sounds like classic battery failure.

Yep, a bad battery can cause all kind of weird things to happen

My money is on bad battery. If the battery is more than a couple years old it's time to replace it anyway, so I would certainly start there.

I agree, sounds like battery

Just a heads up , got my car back from my local Chev dealer , she had 4 codes .. all related to bad ECM ( engine control module ).. all tuned out well , took 3 days ( weekend in there ) mostly covered by my extended warranty , done deal !

Congrats!

Glad it worked out. Hope you get to drive it more than 12 miles per week...it's not even broken in yet.

How about a couple pictures of the gs.

Glad she’s back on the road.

Similar issue with our 2012 Grand Sport. Did you happen to see what the prices would have been if it was not covered by the warranty? The part alone dealer told me is $1013, all in with labor and taxes at $1469. I have been yet unable to find prices elsewhere

frankturbo

Oh ya, I know .. that's why I got a expensive extended just for electronics ..they told me there are 40 or so modules that can take a crap at any time !

There is ORANGE II !

Very sweet! We've had two orange Corvettes, a '72 and an '06 Z06. The C3 I really couldn't fit in (wife's car) but I REALLY (really, really) miss the Z06. So few orange cars...

Nice car! But seeing a front license plate on a Corvette.... cringe.

frankturbo

Ya , I know , I don't need to get stopped for no front plate ..

TorchRedFred

I live in NJ and have never been pulled over or ticketed for not having a front plate on the Vette. Even went to inspection station with out issue. I did bring the front plate with me just in case and put it on the dash. I know a couple other Corvette owners and they say the same thing. Anyway, car looks great, congrats.

Let It Ride

I have been running my cars for the last 20 years with no front plates and never been stopped and I live in a major city. And even if you do get stopped so what, all it is is a equipment violation ticket which is the equal to a parking ticket, maybe $75 bucks. Even if I got one a year it's well worth the cost instead of having a nasty front plate.
