What owners wrote
I was driving on the highway service handling traction system light came on and car went to right and l ran in a ditch 11000 dollars in damage and not one air open.
When driving approx. 5000RPM active handling will kick on followed by a "service active handling" message. When active handling activates it causes the car to apply brakes and the rear end to swerve. I have had the sensor replace a few times and nothing seems to work.
