When I start my vehicle, the steering wheel locking system does not disengage and the steering wheel stays locked.

The contact's friend owns a 2004 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while his friend was starting the vehicle, the steering wheel seized. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that they were unable to assist due to the age of the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 04v060000 (steering) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

While traveling down the freeway at around 80 mph on a straight flat surface, the Corvette sharply veered to the side as I heard a loud screech from one of the brakes it lasted for about a second. The turn was so abrupt I thought I was going to roll but after fishtailing was able to get things going straight. Immediately a service active handling system message popped up. Happened about a week later going about 60 mph not quite as abrupt. This condition could have lead to a fatality.

Prepurchase recall search.

I was driving south, on I-25, in albuquerque, nm, when I bumped the ignition key with my hand and the engine shut off. This occurred a couple of more times since then. When I heard of this happening with other Chevrolets, I called a dealer, in albuquerque, reported that it had also happened in my 2004 Corvette c5. The service manager told me there were no recalls, orders, or tech orders for that model car. Have other occurrences been reported? I haven't seen any on the Corvette blogs.

While driving my 2004 Corvette the active handling message come on at the dash and while driving this causes the brakes to pull the car from one side or the other suddenly and this happens very often. I am afraid this could cause the car to have a serious accident.

This first happened last year and it has now happened several times this past month. Chevrolet says there is no problem but I am living the problem. When using the tilt and telescoping steering at highway speed, the following message appears in the driver information center “service active handling system�. The car then acts like one of the brakes lock up. Further this just happened when I was using the cruise control at a speed of 65 mph. The jerking of the vehicle is very dangerous. Even with two hands on the wheel this unexpected breaking of the vehicle scares the daylights out of you.
