Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I was driving my 2002 Chevrolet Corvette coupe about 30 MPH and the right front wheel locked up. The display on the instrument cluster read active handling . This has actually happened 4 times now. Luckily I was only moving at a steady speed at about 30-35 MPH. Had I been driving down the freeway at 70 MPH, I may have wrecked the car injuring or killing myself as well as possibly anyone else involved. For now I have to turn off the active handling to prevent this from happening.”

NHTSA complaint #10134261, filed 2005-08, 29,000 miles
