MY QUESTION IS; I OWN A 2005 CORVETTE C6 AND HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY STEERING COLUMN WHICH IS THE TILT AND TELESCOPING. SUCH AS NOT BEING ABLE TO START IT. I AM LUCKY THAT MY BRAKES HAVEN'T LOCKED UP ON ME YET. DURING MY RESEARCH I FOUND THAT YOU HAD BEGAN A SAFETY RECALL ON APRIL 30, 2010, NHTSA 10V172000, REGARDING THE TILT AND TELESCOPING STEERING WHEEL ON MY YEAR AND MODEL OF VEHICLE.

2006 CORVETTE Z06 HAS INTERMITTENT FAILURES OF THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM CAUSING ONE FRONT BRAKE TO LOCK UP. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO VEER OUT OF CONTROL INSTANTLY. DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING POSITION SENSOR. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. DEALER DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO, NO STORED CODES. DASH WARNING SAYS SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM. DEALER PERFORMED REPAIR OF THE WIRING HARNESS AT THE STEERING COLUMN AS PER A TSB. PROBLEM REMAINS. WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILS IT FAILS SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY. IT IS NOT A FAIL "SAFE" SYSTEM. *TR

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).
