Recall number 04V060000 recall date 02/09/2004 component steering:column locking:anti-theft device summary. Steering locked at exiting freeway. The fuel supply shut off so the vehicle cannot moved. The vehicle cannot be steered.
Active handling system malfunctions at highway speeds. When traveling on dry smooth highways, in a straight line, the active handling system will activate and randomly actuate individual brake calipers. When this occurs, the "driver information system" will flash "active handling". in every case, this causes momentary, unintended changes in direction and speed of the automobile. The event does not register any codes in the obd II. The problem can only be defeated by turning off the active handling system. The problem can be induced by making minute adjustments to the steering wheel while traveling in a straight line. This problem has been look at by the dealer several times, and they have been unable to diagnose or repair the problem. This is similar to complaint 757075.
Active handling system malfunction - on three separate occasions during a recent road trip, I experienced a momentary loss of directional control while driving my vehicle at highway speeds. On each occasion, I was fortunate to quickly regain control of the vehicle after it involuntarily veered to the left and crossed into the adjacent lane of travel. Shortly thereafter, a dash board message appeared : "service active handling". upon arrival at my destination, I had my vehicle serviced at an out of town cheverolet dealer. After consulting with General Motors, the dealer examined the vehicle but was unable to provide a "fix" for the problem. I asked the dealer if they were aware of any similar problems with other Corvettes - they responded - "no". acceleration disruption issue - this has been a problem since day one and continuess through today. The probloem is most apparent when I attempt to merge into traffic upon entering a freeway. "excessive heat" - as with the acceleration issue, this problem has existed since buying my vehicle in August of 2000. I plan to have warranty service with respect to the acceleration and heat issues sometime in the very near future.
