Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 CORVETTE IN TRAFFIC AND REALIZED I NEED TO BE IN THE NEXT LINE TO MAKE THE NEXT TURN. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME, SO I TURNED THE WHEEL SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT AND GAVE IT A LIITLE GAS. AS I WAS STRAIGHTENING OUT THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENLTY, IT FELT LIKE ALL FOUR BRAKES WHERE LOCKING UP AND RELEASING RANDOMLY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, BUT THE CAR WAS STILL SHAKING. THE ACTIVE HANDLING ACTIVE WAS ON THE INFO CENTER. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID SOMETHING WITH STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR. *TR
