In december 2013 the automatic transmission suddenly lurched into a different gear as I was driving and would not properly upshift through the gears. Also the check engine light was on. I limped it to the dealer and they cleared the code somehow and gave the car back to me. I only put about 85 miles on the car in 7 months when it did it again in june 2014.I nursed it to the dealer where they diagnosed it as a bad transmission control module(after telling me the battery and ignition switch needed to be replaced which was not correct). The bill was $1328. I picked up the car and drove it home where the same thing happened as I neared my house and the transmission again lurched into a different gear and wouldn't shift through the gears properly. Again I nursed it back to the dealer and they claimed the first module they put in was bad and replaced it. Needless to say this didn't sound to me right but there wasn't anything I could do at this point. I put approximately 850 miles on the car in 11 months and had been experiencing intermittent times when the shifter would not come out of park without numerous attempts. I brought it in may 2015 for the headlight recall and told them of the difficulty getting it out of park. They said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I put less than 200 miles on the car in 4 months when the transmission got stuck in park,in my garage and the transmission shifter cable broke as I attempted to get it into gear. This was september 2015. The car had to be jacked up and put into neutral underneath and pushed out of my garage so it could be towed to the dealer. This trip cost me $873 for a new shifter and shifter cable replacement. I have now read where this is a common occurrence on the 2005 corvette and I feel a recall should be instituted to replace these defective parts at the manufacturers expense. I am the original owner. Thank you

Service active handling came on as I touched the brakes. Car pulled to the right. Trying to stay out of the right lane I applied the brakes harder the car jerked to the right. Seems the harder brakes were applied the harder to the right it pulled.

I was driving my car on the freeway and was changing lanes and when I changed gears to accelerate, all of a sudden I got a "service active handling" message appear out of nowhere and I felt my car jerk a little bit while driving. I did take the car in before to have a clip (service recall) placed on my steering wheel to prevent the message from coming, but it now seems like it only comes when I accelerate too quickly at freeway speeds. Champion chevrolet in houston (off beltway 8) has seen this car multiple times for this message in the past, yet I still get it occassionally. I just want my car to be safe.

Driving down two lane road brake locks jerking me almost into oncoming traffic. Active handling system goes on and off without me depressing button, brakes lock without reason. Brake lights stay on constantly. Saw recall and took to chevrolet dealership. They said everything was fine. Still does it.

I have experienced several brake lockups at very low speeds usually while trying to leave a parking spot or other times when the steering wheel is fully turned to the right or left. Once I start to move, the brakes engaged and will not allow the car to move and the active handling indicator comes on the display. All of these slow speed issues were simply ?fixed? By restarting the car, yesterday I was driving at 60mph on a highway and my brakes engaged and the car jerked to the right side of the road and I fought to keep it on the road as the active handling came on again. The brakes pulsated until he car was completely stopped in the road. The weather was sunny and 70 degrees, the road was a fairly new and smooth asphalt. The car took complete control and I was in medium traffic. I am thankful that I was not pulled to the left into oncoming traffic. The cars to the rear of me had no idea that I was stopping and I was almost hit from behind. After the car came to an abrupt stop in traffic on the highway, I could not move it off of the road as the brakes would engage and "active handling" was displayed if I tried to move it. I shut the car off and restarted it and the problem seemed to go away. I pulled off at the next stop and disabled the active handling system.

My car suddenly jerked to the left and the service active handling light came on. I will also receive service active handling errors every once in a while that go away after re-start.
