“I was driving my 2008 Chevrolet CORVETTE Z06 at about 90mph in straight line when the active handling system engaged for no reason and hooked me hard right, crashing into a concrete barrier. The service active handling, service traction control and service ABS error messages had been appearing on my dashboard all day previous to the incident.”
NHTSA complaint #10270067, filed 2009-05, 8,500 miles“After researching and reading other incidents, I believe the active handling on my 2008 CORVETTE Z06 caused me to crash. Researching this, I found the steering wheel positioning sensor malfunctions and locks up one of the front brakes. The car is at the body shop as of now. I plan on looking at this sensor after the holidays. Any advice or information would be appreciated.”
