What owners wrote
Car did not respond to steering on a turn at moderate speed ( 15-20 MPH) on slippery road surface. The turn was tight and nearly a reverse in direction. I approached the turn in rainy conditions traveling at 25 MPH anticipating the turn, lifted my foot off of the accelerator. The car went straight. I informed state farm insurance, volunteering approval to examine the on board computer. I also contacted GM corporation. State farm claim no. [xxx]. GM contact [xxx]
At various speeds, the computer display panel reads, "service active handling system" accompanied by a swerving car icon and an alerting ding sound. The message comes on periodically, lasting up to 15 or 20 minutes at a time, then shutting off. Sometimes upon starting the engine the message will appear and other times the message will be off for days at a time. It always reappears.
