Consumer Description

FIRST OCCURRANCE WAS A MONTH OR TWO AGO. WE WERE EXITING A PARKING LOTAT ABOUT 5MPH WHEN THE CAR'S ACTIVE HANDLING LOCKED THE RIGHT SIDE BRAKES TO WHERE I COULD NOT KEEP THE CAR STRAIGHT. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE WITHOUT A HEAVY THROTTLE TO OVERCOME THE BRAKES. SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING ICON LIT. I HAD TO SHUT THE CAR DOWN FOR A MINUTE THEN RESTART TO CLEAR THE BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE, ALMOST IDENTICALLY. THE CAR WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALER BUT THERE WERE NO STORED CODES FOR THEM TO FOLLOW UP ON. APPARENTLY THE "MECHANICS" CANNOT PHYSICALLY INSPECT CARS ANYMORE. RECENTLY AND AFTER THE DEALER SERVICED THE CAR, IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES WITH MY WIFE DRIVING. IT IS BACK AT THE DEALER AS WE SPEAK. WE ARE BOTH BEGINNING TO BE WORRIED ABOUT OUR SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHER MOTORISTS.
