Consumer Description

ON THIS DAY, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 100 MPH (GERMAN AUTOBAHN) WHEN THE VEHICLE FOR NO APPARENT REASON DECIDED TO LOCK UP THE BRAKES. I ALSO LOST POWER STEERING. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME. THE "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING" SENSOR HAS BEEN ON AND OFF SINCE THEN AND I AM LOOKING AT GETTING IT LOOKED AT TOMORROW. I HAVE JUST READ FORUMS OF OTHER 2005-2008 CORVETTES HAVING THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT GETTING THIS CAR SERVICED? I AM IN GERMANY AND I HAVE YET TO FIND A CORVETTE MECHANIC. WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE. THANK YOU *TR
