This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The module controlling the active handling system was poorly designed by General Motors and turns off the system while driving. General Motors no longer supports this module and it is impossible to get a replacement. When the system shuts off a dangerous situation is created, the dashboard warning light comes on and the digital readouts repeat "service engine soon" and "service active handling". this situation happens all the time while the car is in motion on both streets and highways. I hope that there is something that the NHTSA can do so that I do not have to drive a car that could be a safety hazard.
