Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When turning at slow speeds, the active suspension will either activate or force a dic message service active handling system. Sometimes, this occurs simultaneously with ABS activation of the brakes. This has caused me to drive into head- on lanes, or forced me to stop in moving traffic without brake lights. It seems worse in cold or wet weather. Restarting the car will reset the display.”
NHTSA complaint #11217531, filed 2019-06, 120,000 miles“My Corvette is experiencing brake/ stability control/ traction control issues. The first time I apply the brakes after starting the car they pedal vibrates, the brakes feel ineffective, and the car disables anti-lock brakes, active handling, and traction control. The lights reset after shutting the vehicle off and starting it again, only for all these systems to disable upon the first stop.”
