MY HEADLIGHTS SPONTANEOUSLY STOPPED WORKING AT NIGHT ON MY 2005 C6 CHEVY CORVETTE. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ROOF PANEL WAS SEPARATING FROM THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE FACTORY ROOF, THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V181000 (STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS THEN MADE AWARE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON, SYSTEM APPLIED RIGHT FRONT BRAKE CAUSING THE CAR TO SWERVE AND TURN ABRUPTLY TO THE RIGHT. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO OTHER CAR IN THE NEXT LANE.

WHILE DRIVING ON I 40 IN MEMPHIS, MY 2005 CORVETTE INITIATED A WARNING TO "SERVICE ACTIVEW HANDLING". THE WARNINGS THEN INDICATED A FLAT TIRE, AND AIRBAG FAULT, WHICH ALL CLEARED. THE WARNINGS ARE ERRONEOUS, AND CAN CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO REACT, SHUTTING DOWN TRACTION CONTROL, SLOWING THE VEHICLE AND OTHER MEASURES, WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN UNLESS EMERGENCY OPEN IS UTILIZED. *KB

CAR SPUN THE BACK TIRES WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WAS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND CORRECTED THE CAR AT THE SAME TIME THE ACTIVE HANDING APPLIED THE FRONT BRAKES TO LOCKUP AND WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. I MESSED WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS & THEY DISENGAGES & I WENT ABOUT 200 FEET GOING STRAIGHT & THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE APPLIED TO LOCKUP & THE SAME THING I HAD TO MESS WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL & IT RELEASED. I NEVER SHUT THE CAR OFF & AS I RESUMED DRIVING I COULD FEEL THE STEERING WAS NOT RIGHT IT FELT LIKE THE VARIABLE ASSIST STEERING THOUGH THE CAR WAS GOING WAY FAST (THE STEERING WAS WAY TO HEAVY). I WENT ABOUT 2 MILES LIKE THIS AND IT DID NOT CHANGE. I PULLED OVER & SHUT THE CAR OFF & RESTARTED IT & THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. AS THIS WAS HAPPENING THE DIC WAS DISPLAYING SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING. THAT WAS THE ONLY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX IT YET. *TR
