Consumer writes in regards to safety issues for 2002 and 2004 chevrolet corvettes. *tgw the consumer stated he experienced a failure of a module which controlled the ABS and traction control systems.
When brakes are applied they start to catch and a grinding, chattering is felt in the brakes until I let up off the pedal. The active handling code appears and then goes away. On several occasions the active handling code appears and will not go away until the vehicle is switched off anf then restarted.
As I was driving the service active handling message came on the dic.then the car brakes engaged pulling the car to the left.
While driving my 2004 corvette the active handling message come on at the dash and while driving this causes the brakes to pull the car from one side or the other suddenly and this happens very often. I am afraid this could cause the car to have a serious accident.

Parking brake will not hold my car on a hill in neutral. My local chevrolet dealer had four attempts but is unable to fix the problem. The dealer then said that the parking brake is not intended to hold the car but only to assist. Sam daniel from the federal safety agency told me to put in a complaint due to the fact that the standard for parking brakes is to hold on a 30 degree hill for 5 minutes.
