Consumer Description

THIS FIRST HAPPENED LAST YEAR AND IT HAS NOW HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THIS PAST MONTH. CHEVROLET SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM BUT I AM LIVING THE PROBLEM. WHEN USING THE TILT AND TELESCOPING STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE APPEARS IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER ?SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM?. THE CAR THEN ACTS LIKE ONE OF THE BRAKES LOCK UP. FURTHER THIS JUST HAPPENED WHEN I WAS USING THE CRUISE CONTROL AT A SPEED OF 65 MPH. THE JERKING OF THE VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS. EVEN WITH TWO HANDS ON THE WHEEL THIS UNEXPECTED BREAKING OF THE VEHICLE SCARES THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF YOU. *TR
