Really! Traction/Active handling Warning! Damm!
 
Yep! Heres a new one for me, All has been good for 2 weeks now all of a sudden leaving the Vet office with my new puppy BOOM! Traction control and Active handling warning pops up, Really! I'm getting close to the end of my rope with GM, My Silverado's at the dealer getting a rear end put in as well. What happened to the days of cars just running right always. Hate to say this but my import car has never had a issue. :ack::ack::(

Does it say "warning" or "warming up"? If it says "warming up", that is perfectly normal...well at least on a C5 is was...

Sorry to hear about the problem.

In my experience, all my GM cars have been flawless and most of the imports in my family have had problems or quality control issues. It goes both ways I guess. My C6 has been flawless and is just a really outstanding vehicle in all regards.

Hope you are able to get your issue fixed quickly and easily.

:cheers:

Why does everyone that has a problem with a Vette have to post how their foreign cars are perfect? Getting tired of that comparison. Who are you trying to make feel bad or guilty by posting that? Us? GM????

For every person that does the same thing, the opposite is true also (Vette flawless, but other [insert foreign car here] car has had problems.

Sheesh.

It's saying Warning, I'm just tired of the issues, I fix one and another pops up, I just want to drive not worry, I have put more than $16000 in this car after paying $27000 cash for it, I just want a brake already, I bought a used Mitsu 6 years ago not one problem I have owned my Silverado 3 months and rear end goes out, The vette 5 months, in the shop for 2 months and there is just issue after issue with it. Can't put all the blame on Gm knowing the old owner of my Vette was complete moron and I know most of what I have fixed was cleaning up his stupidity. I'm Sorry, just venting my wife won't care and I can't tell her I'm about to drop more coin into it. I need to go fishing and clear my head, I'm gonna drop it off at bill kay Chevy Monday and let them go through it. CHA! CHING! LOL! :leaving:

r2swift 09-13-2011 05:01 PM

What other comparison is there when u are talking about cars? ford,Chevy,dodge,toy,mitsu,Honda, lets see Compared a domestic to a domestic is oranges to oranges, compared mitsu to Toyota is apples to apples. Chevy to mitsu? now that shows how upset someone is. Welcome to the car wars buddy. Don't dwell on the statement Just try and understand the situation. :rock:

Do you telescope the steering wheel in and out often?:lurk:

no never it hasn't worked since I have owned it, I'm 6' 2" seat back all the way steering wheel all the way in as well.

BLU JET 07 09-13-2011 05:23 PM

I had the same thing happen on my '07 with 29K on the clock when I adjust the telescoping steering wheel and move it up and down and/or in & out to get out of the car. I had the issue fixed in '09 with a steering wheel column clip ( there is a TSB for it ) that was forgotten during the build & it worked well until this summer now the problem is back again.... go figure :willy:

Unfortunately not all GM cars are problem free and in your case with what you have poured into it I would be very upset. I would probably dump it and move on.
One thing I can not take is having one quality issue after another. I am lucky I guess you could say as I have not had one single issue with my 2008 Vette.
Good luck whatever you decide.

Thank you, you see my point, I think I need to find away to liquefy a bunch of cash and wash the car in it. LOL!:cheers:

I'm sure to some degree but why after this long would those issues come up, Yesterday I got in it really hard maybe i busted a shock. I wish i was a vette tech, 23 years turning wrenches and this car puzzles me at every turn. :willy:

cclive 09-13-2011 09:03 PM

You could take a shock out and it wouldn't cause that kind of warning...:thumbs:

bearman95 09-13-2011 09:29 PM

I have owned three new vette's and three new silvarado's in the last ten years, no problems with any of them. But if you feel imports are better then maybe that's what you should be driving.

My GM cars have been flawless also. Sorry to hear about the OP's problems, but it's certainly not the usual case.

There is a TSB...I have also found that limiting the amount of telescope of the wheel and do not apply pressure to the wheel when you first start the car, it will also minimize the problem. Of course...you can just turn the car off and it will reset.

Really! thats all u have to offer, put that back in your hate box. I was making a point about another issue, sometimes it's best if have nothing to add stay out of the discussion. But I should thank u for your wise input, A glad to know u have such great luck with your vehicles.:rock:

I hope it's going to be something easy, If there is such a thing on a corvette, LOL!:thumbs:
