Show complaint excerpts

I was driving my 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 at about 90MPH in straight line when the active handling system engaged for no reason and hooked me hard right, crashing into a concrete barrier.

After researching and reading other incidents, I believe the active handling on my 2008 Corvette Z06 caused me to crash. Researching this, I found the steering wheel positioning sensor malfunctions and locks up one of the front brakes.
