Traveling at 65 MPH with the cruise control on driving on a straight 4 lane divided highway, I brake and pressed the clutch pedal to down shift to make an exit. I exited, made the turn and started accelerating. I notice a loss of power and the steering wheel shook. There was no message that the active handling was engaged. I stopped and turned off the engine. All was fine when I drove again. However, it keeps happening sporadically without any cause. Once the service active handling system lit on the control panel but after turning off the engine it has not appeared again. Yet, the active handling system(or something) keep tapping the brakes making the car lose power and the steering shake.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 chevrolet corvette. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brakes engaged without manual force and also failed to stop with the illumination of the service active handling light. In addition, the cruise control failed to function. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but they were unable to duplicate the problem. The manufacturer was not notified. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000.
My 2008 chevrolet corvette just started a new issue that your dept is currently investigating. The "service active handling" came up on the display and the front right brake locked up for a few seconds at highway speed. After pulling over, a concerned driver behind me said that my brake lights had been and still are illuminated the whole time she was behind me (at least 5 miles) and do not go off until I turn the car off. I bought this car the end of march at mall chevrolet in cherry hill nj, and my primary local chevrolet dealer is reedman-toll in langhorne pa. There is nothing listed in the carfax or autocheck history for any recall work done or even any open recalls. This is obviously a quite common issue with serious safety repercussions. I am an active member of the corvette forums and this is a topic that has been talked about in numerous threads: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-tech-performance/2336065-service-active-handling-consumer-action.html http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-tech-performance/3234567-service-active-handling-system.html http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-corvette-general-discussion/3270586-service-active-handling-and-wheel-lockup.html http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-z06-discussion/3109818-08-z-brake-lights-stay-on.html http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-tech-performance/3190509-2008-c6-having-rear-brake-light-issues.html if you do a search of the forums you will find many more of the same issues with the same cars.
