| For the past year my 2006 corvette has periodically displayed a warning on the driver information screen which reads service vehicle soon followed nearly immediately by service active handling system. when the problem first occurred the vehicle was under warranty with approximately 12,000 miles. the vehicle now has roughly 20,000 miles and is out of warranty. the vehicle has been into our local chevrolet dealer in livermore, ca five times for this issue (jan 09, mar 09, mar 09, dec 09, jan 10) the dealer tried a number of repairs but the warning continued. the dealer and gm are now stating that the problem is related to defective bpmv and ebcm units which control the antilock braking system and the stabilitrack system. they are refusing to correct the problem. my concern is that this is apparently a chronic problem for these vehicles which could potentially result in a serious injury or death if the brakes were to lock up at the wrong time. *tr | |||

| I was pulling out of a driveway onto a main road making a left turn. suddenly my front brakes grabbed with full force and stopped the car. the active handling light came on. i stepped on the gas hard and over powered the brakes to move the car to the side of the road. i turned off the car waited a minute and restarted the vehicle. the active handling light went off and i was able to drive normally again. it was raining and about 60 degrees at the time. i am the second owner of the car and this is the only time it has happened in the year i have owned it. i saw a bulletin about this problem for many 2006 chevrolet corvettes and decided to send this letter about it. i never brought the car in for service because i thought it was a temporary malfunction. *tr | |||
