What owners wrote
Drove through a turn (rt hand) exited turn at approx 45 MPH or less,went straight for approx 300 feet and car locked up rt front and left rear brakes causing car to go into 4 wheel slide (60 degrees from direction that was straight) jumped over curb side ways (drivers side facing curb) went off road,tires dug in and car rolled over 3 times,destroying car. There are many complaints on this active handling issue. Car is still in my garage and has been inspected by a automotive forensics investigator.
My 2006 z06 has had this same recurring "service active handling system" fault almost like clockwork every 9 to 15 months since I bought it new in sept 2005 (one of the first z06s built). My z06 is at a chevy dealership again, this time getting the steering wheel sensor replaced again. No its not the dealer... I've had several "service active handling system" repairs done by at least two different chevy dealers and it still comes back like a bad case of herpes.
