| My warning lights came on indicating check anti-lock brakes and traction control. after a visit to a chevy dealer, i was told that the sensor controlling these items was bad and gm no longer produced the part. after searching the internet without success for the part, i was told by one part supplier that he had 15 people on a waiting list for the part and no idea when he would have one. in the meantime, i am driving a vehicle without anti-locks and without traction control, safety options i paid for that are now inoperable. should an accident occur as a result of these failings, would gm accept responsibility?? *tr | |||

| Active handling system service light first came on in june 1999. took to dealership for repairs and they replaced 2 electronic brake and traction control (ebtcm) modules. they found an internally shorted ebtcm. in july 1999, the active handling system service came on again. took to dealership and again they found and replaced one internally faulty abs electronic brake and traction control module (ebtcm). i picked the car up on 07/29/99. on 07/30/99 i started the car in the morning and the active handling system service light came on a few seconds after starting. contacted dealership, but they don't know the cause or what to do. appears to me to be heat related-combination of outside temp. and temp. of system. three modules have been replaced to date and have failed to correct the problem. also described as yaw rate sensor circuit malfunction on service invoice. | |||

| Two issues: most important - active handling activates intermittently when there is no reason for it. we have taken the car to a dealership for repair several times. each time they say it's repaired. it is not. second issue: trunk lid opens only when it feels like it. *nm | |||
