I experienced symptoms similar to the service active handling recall. It was raining, and a "service active handling" message appeared on my driver information center (dic) display. The active handling trouble light illuminated on the dash. The car started missing and was running rough, like it wanted to stall. Then the service engine soon light illuminated and a "reduced engine power" message appeared on the dic. Both messages flashed alternatively and continued to do so until I pulled to the side of the road and stopped. I shut the car off and restarted it; the messages did not clear, the service engine soon light was still illuminated, and the car was still running rough. I was able to limp the car home (15 miles) safely. Once I pulled into my garage, I shut the car off and then restarted it. The engine idled smoothly then. The brakes did not activate as is common with other corvettes covered under the recall. My VIN is also not one that is covered under the recall, but I seem to have many of the same symptoms, and my car is equipped with the tilt and telescoping steering column. I called gm and was told my car is not covered by the recall. How do I know that when I can find no publication of the vins included anywhere?

While slowing to make a left hand turn when the vehicle stalled/stopped temporarily...could have caused collision if the stall/stop happened a second later when I would have been in the opposing land. It has happened twice. I had the car repaired at edwards chevrolet in birmingham. I was told by them that a wire in the steering column had corroded.
