Consumer Description

TWICE TODAY MY 2005 CORVETTE TEMPORARILY LOCKED ITS FRONT LEFT BRAKE FOLLOWED BY GIVING ME AN "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLEING" MESSAGE. FIRST TIME ON THE FREEWAY AFTER HITTING A BUMP AND 2ND GOING ABOUT 40MPH. BOTH TIMES DRIVING STRAIGHT. AFTER TURNING CAR OFF AND ON THE MESSAGE WAS GONE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND THE DEALERS SEEM TO DENY ANY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS ALTHOUGH IV SEEN THOUSANDS OF POSTS ON THE MATTER FROM OTHER OWNERS.
