Consumer Description

I DRIVE A 2006 CHEVY CORVETTE. I WAS DRIVING OUT OF A GAS STATION WHEN I APPLIED SOME EXTRA GAS, GIVING THE CAR SOME UNWANTED ACCELERATION AS I TURNED. THE "ACTIVE HANDLING" SIGN LIT UP AND THE CAR BUCKED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, AND BACK AGAIN. THANKFULLY I WAS ON A WIDE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP WITHOUT INJURY TO MYSELF OR OTHERS (OR THE CAR). AFTERWARDS, A MESSAGE POPPED UP READING "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM" AND DID NOT GO AWAY UNTIL I HAD SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR A WHILE. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE, BUT IT DID WORRY ME ENOUGH TO SHARE THE STORY HERE. HOPE IT HELPS. *TR
