Consumer Description

CAR SPUN THE BACK TIRES WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WAS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND CORRECTED THE CAR AT THE SAME TIME THE ACTIVE HANDING APPLIED THE FRONT BRAKES TO LOCKUP AND WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. I MESSED WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS & THEY DISENGAGES & I WENT ABOUT 200 FEET GOING STRAIGHT & THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE APPLIED TO LOCKUP & THE SAME THING I HAD TO MESS WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL & IT RELEASED. I NEVER SHUT THE CAR OFF & AS I RESUMED DRIVING I COULD FEEL THE STEERING WAS NOT RIGHT IT FELT LIKE THE VARIABLE ASSIST STEERING THOUGH THE CAR WAS GOING WAY FAST (THE STEERING WAS WAY TO HEAVY). I WENT ABOUT 2 MILES LIKE THIS AND IT DID NOT CHANGE. I PULLED OVER & SHUT THE CAR OFF & RESTARTED IT & THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. AS THIS WAS HAPPENING THE DIC WAS DISPLAYING SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING. THAT WAS THE ONLY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX IT YET. *TR
