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.
Car applied right front brake on the street in front of my house, causing a severe swerve into shoulder of road. There is a known active handling fault on these cars. It has been in for repair twice. The car only has 3200 miles on it. There is a service active handling light on the dash now. Dealer has attempted to repair.
While driving over 30 mph the car will brake and the digital information center will show "active handling system" and vehicle is not driveable and is a safety risk
"service active handling system has been shown on the display since I purchased the car O 3/23/16 with 1238 miles. Car has been at the dealer for over a week and still no fixed.
As I left the grocery store I started to head home when the 11 Corvette gs sent a message to the dic on the instrument cluster, it said to service active handling, the problem is it locks up the front brakes, while this may not sound too serious at low speeds, imagine pulling out into traffic and the brakes lock up on your car. It occurs pulling onto grass or loose gravel also, especially in turns. I have to turn the car off and restart it for it to move again. My wife started reading the hundreds of complaints on service the active handling on the Corvette forums and what it has done to the vehicles from people that had issues with there vehicles when the service active handling message appeared on there (dic) digital information center that she no longer rides in the car with me. This vehicle has seen more dealer service than any other vehicle that I have owned.
Car is a 2011 Corvette grand sport coupe. Intermittent display of "max speed 80 mph, service active handling, service traction system and the security light for the antitheft system stays on. When you turn the car off and restart 1-2 times, codes clear and operation returns to normal. Took car back to dealer three times. Last time (28000 miles) they kept car overnight and drove over 100 miles before they finally reproduced the problem. On 6/12/12 they replaced the ebcm and invoice description said "28216 checked and found codes P2548 and P0856. Performed diagnostic for codes and found intermittent loss of data from ebcm to ECM. Replaced ebcm and reprogrammed module. Code #28841. Rechecked after repairs ok at this time". problem recurred last week on 8/26/12 at 33000 miles. Will take back to dealer this week.
