Default Active handeling- Any problems?

I ran into a friend of mine this morning who has a nice 2001 Vette convertable. He said hid active handeling screwed up and caused him to almost wreck his car. He said the car suddenly started drifting around on the road. He took it to the local Dealer down here and they quoted him a figure of around $4700 to fix it. That got me to wandering about my "99" coupe which also has the A.H. option. Is this a common problem with A.H.? If It is I'm tempted to sell my car and go back to a "97"! I like my "99" but really wouldn't want to have to sink another $5000 in it [unless it was mods of course]
Any reply is appreciated,
Dave

It's been reported here as a malfunction in the past. Never heard of it being a chronic issue though. Why not turn it off if you're concerned about it glitching out on you?

Dealer in Charlotte quoted me between $1000-$2000 to fix/replace module (EBCM). Can also go thru company called ABSfixer for about $150. You mail in the module and they fix it and send back to you. $4700?? I'd go to another dealer!!

My BPMV ground connection is intermittant and as such, cannot adequately prevent my car from wiping out. For now, I cannot trust it.
