2005 Chevrolet Corvette Vehicle speed control Problems

“While traveling approximately 40 MPH within a left curve, the vehicle suddenly lost traction in the rear wheels sending the vehicle across the opposite lane and into the oncoming traffic shoulder. Car was traveling on a warm sunny day on a two lane country road. It is my best guess that the vehicle applied rear brakes as a means of active handling. I strongly believe if the brakes did not electronically apply, the vehicle would not have lost control.”

“Just as leaving dealership for low beam recall, 2 miles, used cruise to 35 MPH, 10 clicks of button to 45, then again to 55. When car reached 55, I felt the car nose forward like I cut cruise w/ tap of brake. I did not. Warning light/ cruise disengaged, still looking at dic car nosed down and squatted with warning light reduced power, this caused the car to slow to 35 and feel as though I was pumping the gas and brake alternately like when we were kids and used to watch the wife's head go back and forth. Before getting off road more lights and warnings. …”

“I have a 2005 Corvette. Sometimes, when I am applying the brake peddle, if my foot is slanted sideways, then I will also hit the throttle pedal also. When it first happened, I would panic and press harder on the brake pedal, which also pressed harder on the throttle pedal. Now I know to slide my foot more to the left off the gas. But it still can catch me off guard. Like today, when I almost backed through the rear of my garage. I have had the car since 2005. I am concerned that other people might be at risk.”

“I was driving my car on the freeway and was changing lanes and when I changed gears to accelerate, all of a sudden I got a service active handling message appear out of nowhere and I felt my car jerk a little bit while driving. I did take the car in before to have a clip (service recall) placed on my steering wheel to prevent the message from coming, but it now seems like it only comes when I accelerate too quickly at freeway speeds. Champion Chevrolet in houston (off beltway 8) has seen this car multiple times for this message in the past, yet I still get it occassionally. …”

“Traveling on interstate highway with cruise control on at 68 MPH the left front brake locked up causing car to turn left and rear end start to swing around. A moment later brake is released and I regain control of vehicle. Chime and light on dash go on and stated service active handling . The next day I took vehicle to local dealer they advised I needed a steering wheel position sensor and a yaw sensor for a cost of $1100.00. My concern is after I replace these sensors what happens the next time they fail and a front brake locks up. Shouldn't this be a fail safe system. …”
