Consumer Description

THE MODULE CONTROLLING THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM WAS POORLY DESIGNED BY GENERAL MOTORS AND TURNS OFF THE SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING. GENERAL MOTORS NO LONGER SUPPORTS THIS MODULE AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A REPLACEMENT. WHEN THE SYSTEM SHUTS OFF A DANGEROUS SITUATION IS CREATED, THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE DIGITAL READOUTS REPEAT "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" AND "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING". THIS SITUATION HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION ON BOTH STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. I HOPE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT THE NHTSA CAN DO SO THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD.
