Consumer Description

ON-GOING ISSUE WITH THE CORVETTE'S AND GM'S ACTIVE HANDLING. THIS CAR HAS HAD THE PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHILE STEERING AND MAKING A LANE CHANGE ON A CITY STREET, THE VEHICLE'S ACTIVE HANDLING KICKED IN LOCKING UP MY FRONT BRAKES. IT VEERED ME TO THE LEFT AND IN TO THE OTHER LANE. ESPECIALLY HAZARDOUS IF YOU'RE NOT EXPECTING IT AND DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT, AS THIS TIME I WAS NOT EXPECTING IT TO HAPPEN. TYPICALLY TENDS TO HAPPEN AT LOWER SPEEDS AROUND 35 MPH WHILE MAKING SOME STEERING MOVEMENT LIKE LANE CHANGES.
