Service active handling error appears on my dic at random times although nothing seems to be wrong. I can shut the engine down and turn it back on and the error does not appear. There are other times that it will reappear but the vehicle drives ok. I will turn active handling off when the error appears. It seems to appear only when I have key fob no 2 in my pocket. Because I've heard horror stories about active handling "taking over the vehicle" I'm very cautious about this function in the vehicle. I mentioned this to a dealer and they told me to ignore it since they couldn't get it to display.
2005 Chevrolet Corvette driver assistance complaints

There is a dangerous problem with my corvette that I believe is tied to faults in the tire pressure monitoring system. I was driving on a freeway following a left curve when I felt the brakes grab. I saw "active handling" displayed; however, there was no reason for active handling to occur (roadway was dry, was driving at posted speed limit, was not making a sudden turning maneuver). Later I saw that the car was displaying a front right tire pressure of 0 psi, but no other warnings occurred (typically, a yellow warning light goes on an car displays a low tire pressure or right front tire flat warning when this occurs). I've had ongoing problems with the tire pressure monitoring system and chevy has attempted repair once. Usually one of the front tires will read zero psi and the aforementioned warnings will appear, and the car's active handling system will engage more easily, then a few minutes later, the car will display normal tire pressures again. In the incident I'm describing here, there was no warning that the tire pressure was being read at zero, and no indication that active handling would engage so easily. This is a definite safety hazard that could result in loss of control or a crash. I have an appointment to get the car serviced in two days.
I was driving approx. 40mph then out of nowhere service active handling was displayed a the cars brakes seem to lock up the vehicle. I was extremely concerned the car felt as if I was going to ejected out of the drivers seat. I seriously thought I soiled my pants. My car is a 2005 corvette z51 with 8000 pampered miles automatic trans. This is a verrrrry serious problem.
Active handling activated on my 2005 corvette at about 35-40 MPH locking and unlocking the brakes, repeatedly, on only the front right wheel. Was cruising at a steady speed in a straight line. Nearly lost control of car. Apparently this is a common occurrence with the c6 corvettes. In the dealership now for repair. Dealer indicates the steering position sensor has failed. This is a very dangerous product defect!
