2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Steering Problems

I purchased this car from a dealer in Sarasota Florida. Driving it home from the dealer, I was driving approximately 70 mph on [XXX] near Sarasota. The vehicle suddenly braked and pulled to the left simultaneously. I have taken it to a repair shop that specializes in Corvettes, and trying to ID the problem. In doing research, evidently it is related to the active handling system. There is a recall NHTSA Campaign Number: 10V172000 Manufacturer GENERAL MOTORS CORP. Components STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected 40,028 and a service bulletin 10118. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

my service active handling and traction control light will come on randomly and disappear, when it does come on usually my car will brake on one side of the car and skip and skid over to one side. when it happens I have zero control of the braking and steering and it has taken my car into another lane completely. it is terrifying and I've had the whole brake system replaced, along with ecm, ebcm, rack and pinion all suspension and steering components, wiring harness and just about everything I could think of that may cause it. I have a tilting telescope steering wheel and I've heard that they can cause this

On numerous occasions the past two years the active handling system in the vehicle will take control for no reason and brake on one side causing the car to swerve out of its lane and other times applies the brakes on its own. Very dangerous.

THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT SUBMITTED COMPLAINT 11350345 WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM NHTSA ABOUT. WHY DID I NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE? KEVIN

THE POWER STEERING HIGH PRESSURE LINE LEAKS IN MULTIPLE PLACES THROUGH A SHORT CANVAS REINFORCED RUBBER SEGMENT ON MY 2006 CORVETTE, NOT THROUGH ANY CRIMPED FITTINGS, O-RINGS, ETC. THE HIGHER THE RPM, THE FASTER IT LEAKS. IT SPRAYS ON THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST. THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK WAS DIFFICULT TO FIND SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE (USED), BEING THE HOSE ITSELF IS HARD TO SEE, THE LEAK WAS SMALLER THEN, AND IT HAD A CORRUGATED PLASTIC TUBING WRAPPED AROUND IT FOR ABRASION PROTECTION, DIVERTING THE LEAKS. NOW IT'S LEAKING BADLY. THE HOSE IS BENT IN A CURVE, AND THE LEAKS ARE ALL ALONG THE OUTER PERIMETER (STRETCHED) SIDE OF THE HOSE. I DISCOVERED THE REPLACEMENT STEEL LINE HAS BEEN REDESIGNED TO A LONGER UNIT WITH TWO STRAIGHT RUBBER SECTIONS THAT MUST BE REROUTED, WHICH TOLD ME THE ORIGINAL HAD A DESIGN FLAW THAT LED TO FAILURES. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS, AND THERE IS, BUT ODDLY MY VIN SEEMS TO 'NOT BE INCLUDED'. RECALL #05V455000 IS DATED 10/5/2005, AND THE DATE MY CAR WAS BUILT IS 09/05 ACCORDING TO THE DOOR DECAL. THE RECALL STATES: 'CONSEQUENCE: IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, POWER STEERING ASSIST WOULD BE LOST AND INCREASED STEERING EFFORT WOULD BE REQUIRED. ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH HYDRO-BOOST POWER BRAKES, IT COULD ALSO RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER BRAKE ASSIST AND INCREASED BRAKING EFFORT WOULD BE REQUIRED. IF THE POWER STEERING FLUID SPRAY WERE TO SPRAY ONTO HOT ENGINE PARTS, AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE COULD OCCUR.' THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS MY VIN IS NOT EFFECTED, BUT YET I CLEARLY HAVE THIS PROBLEM NOW ON A HOSE THAT IS NOTHING LIKE THE NEWLY-DESIGNED ONES. I THINK GM MUST INCLUDE MY VIN AND ALL ADDITIONAL ONES WITH THIS OLD STYLE HOSE INSTALLED, I THINK IT 'SLIPPED THROUGH THE CRACKS'. IT'S SPRAYING FLUID ON HOT EXHAUST BENEATH, AND IT LOSES LOTS OF FLUID QUICKLY WHICH CAN LEAD TO STEERING/BRAKE FAILURE. I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR IN THE STATE IT'S IN.

IN 2010, THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR "STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR." THE ISSUE WAS THE "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING" WARNING NOTICE WAS INTERMITTENTLY APPEARING IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER. THE REMEDY WAS TO INSTALL A PLASTIC CLIP. THIS REMEDY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW "STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR" AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL AND IT WOULD BE AT MY EXPENSE. I DID NOT HAVE THE REPAIR DONE AT THAT TIME BECAUSE I RARELY DRIVE THE CAR, AND THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME TO HAVE A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND THAT SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR AWHILE. THE "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING" WARNING HAS RETURNED, AND I'M SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE SENSOR REPLACED FOR ABOUT $800. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE 2005-2006 CORVETTES, AND THE PLASTIC CLIP DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I'M EXTREMELY CONCERNED AS THERE HAVE BEEN MANY BAD ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM ENGAGING AT RANDOM TIMES AND CAUSING CRASHES. WHY DIDN'T GM ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PLASTIC CLIP DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE AND WHY AM I HAVING TO PAY FOR A REPAIR THAT IS WIDE SPREAD AND THAT THE RECALL REPAIR IS KNOWN TO NOT HAVE WORKED. *TR
