2006 chevrolet corvette z06 loss of control due to right brake lock up after "service active handling" appearing in display. I was driving straight down the road at about 15 miles per hour and the car suddenly jerked to the right. I applied braking and stopped the vehicle before I hit a parked car.

Active handling system in 2006 corvette z06 engages at inappropriate times possibly leading to serious loss of control of vehicle and crash. Three times within the past 12 months the service active handling light has illuminated, and the "fixes" have not been permanent. I believe for the safety of all drivers a permanent solution for this problem should be produced by gm.
I've got a 06 z06 that tries to apply the rt front brake everytime I drive it. This started 3 months ago. I saw a # on th cf.eoa9002. This is a car I paid 72k for that isn't safe to drive at all. This happens everytime I drive it. There are complaints of this from dubai to the us for over a year now and many documented totaled 06 z06's over this.
2006 corvette z06 has intermittent failures of the active handling system causing one front brake to lock up. This causes the car to veer out of control instantly. Dealer replaced the steering position sensor. The problem happened again. Dealer did not know what to do, no stored codes. Dash warning says service active handling system. Dealer performed repair of the wiring harness at the steering column as per a tsb. Problem remains. When the system fails it fails suddenly and violently. It is not a fail "safe" system.
Drove through a turn (rt hand) exited turn at approx 45 MPH or less,went straight for approx 300 feet and car locked up rt front and left rear brakes causing car to go into 4 wheel slide (60 degrees from direction that was straight) jumped over curb side ways (drivers side facing curb) went off road,tires dug in and car rolled over 3 times,destroying car. There are many complaints on this active handling issue. Car is still in my garage and has been inspected by a automotive forensics investigator. Car is 100% complete and ready for any ones inspection including general motors.
