I was driving my corvette at approximately 40 MPH. When coming out of a curve accelerated and the car pulled to the right. When applied brakes pressure it had no affect on steering and stopping the car. The car continued to go to the right in a circle until vehicle hit the guard rail. It appeared that it was in a limp mode the car had a mind of its own through acceleration the transmission and brake controls where in sync with each other and took over control of vehicle and wouldn't stop the car. I am fortunate that didn't occur on the highway with other vehicles around me, which could have created a catastrophic situation.
2007 Chevrolet Corvette brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When making a slow left turn the front brakes on the car locked up. "service stability system" message can on. Car wouldn't go over 5-6 MPH until system was turned off.
I was pulling out of a gas station, all of sudden my front breaks locked up. This scares me what if I am on the highway.
My corvette is experiencing brake/ stability control/ traction control issues. The first time I apply the brakes after starting the car they pedal vibrates, the brakes feel ineffective, and the car disables anti-lock brakes, active handling, and traction control. The lights reset after shutting the vehicle off and starting it again, only for all these systems to disable upon the first stop.
Service active handling appeared on my dic. The lights for the ABS were also lit. There was no traction control on my vehicle.
While turning into a gas station the vehicle front left brake locked and pulled the vehicle hard left hitting a curbed area. The active handling system error was displayed. I applied brakes, waited for a few seconds and was able to continue.
This problem started soon after I purchased the car used. I have replaced the brake switch and added four inches of wire to the wiring harness to the telescopic steering wheel. I recently replaced the brake pads and the service handling system soon comes on. There is no recalls on my car and have been to the dealer about the problem and they can't figure it out. I am reading this could be a serious problem and can cause an accident. I have been to the corvette forum and tried numerous things to fix this. I am currently checking electrical grounds to see if that helps.
Driving along and car starts swerving and brakes seem to apply, then I notice service ABS, service traction control and service active handling is on. This has been happening frequently for several months and now getting worse. Have tightened all connections by internally tightening the poor loose connectors and rerouting the wires to the swps to give more length. Now lights are on and will not go out, shows no codes with a scan reader. This is an 07 and I do not see that as a recall even though it is the same problems as the 05 & 06.
On sharp turns, front right brake pulses and temporarily loss of steering occurs. Service active handling message appears on dic. Very dangerous. *
2007 corvette 41,000 miles. "service active handling systems" keeps coming on.. On the dic. When this happens the brake lights get stuck in the "on position" I have almost been rear ended twice because of this. I have had the swps and brake switch replaced twice. I have had the brake switch recalibrated and I have installed the orange comb gm used on the sw wiring harness. Still not fixed . Updated 03/03/11 *bf
