Default Service Active handling??? WTF??

So i take my vette out tonight and i take a turn sharply all of a sudden the car gets sideways not on a nasty turn or something out of the ordinary and the active handling comes on. Im like whatever i continue driving and i decide to get on it on the freeway a lil bit then all of a sudden(keep in mind this is a straight part of the freeway no turns) the car fishtails and the DYC reads service activing handling..... WTF is going on? To top it off i go in and watch this movie come out and my car is soaked with water so much for 0% chance of rain. Im so ticked off but what worries me more is the fact that the car would do that on the freeway aiding to something catastrophic. Anybody had this happen to them i need all advice i could get. Thanks

R.

My advice is turn active handeling off till you can get it looked at.

I always turn mine off anyway. Active handeling doesnt like the way i drive

You need to answer a couple of questions before we can even start to help you!

What year is your car?
What mods do you have?
What DTC codes are present in the DIC memory?

ABS sensor on the hub could be loose. Pull the wheels and check them. It's like a plug and clips in.
