Description of the problem | 2007 chevrolet corvette z06." service active handling" message appears on instrument cluster at random intervals. Sometimes message precedes an application of one or both front brakes while vehicle is in motion causing a very dangerous driving scenario. The vehicle has only 3800 miles and has been returned to the dealership (lone star chevrolet.. Houston, texas) one before for a fix. A sleeve was installed in the steering column as per a gm directive. The problem returned within 500 miles of driving. I have asked the service department to remove the active handling from the cars computer and they say they cannot. The vehicle is unsafe to operate with this issue if the brakes are applied. I have discussed this issue with numerous other corvette owners (online at the corvette forum) who have also experienced this same issue and only a few have had the problem finally corrected. Others, like myself, must continue to take the vehicles back for another fix. |
