2010 Chevrolet Corvette Complaint Log

AIRBAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY LIGHTS, WHEN I HAVENT ADJUSTED THE SEATS AND NOT SPEEDING. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURENCE WITH CORVETTE OWNERS. SAW IT A FEW TIMES BEFORE BUT IT STOPPED BEFORE I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERS FOR SERVICE.

OVERWHELMING FUEL ODORS.. AT FIRST I ASSUMED IT MIGHT BE A BAD FUEL CAP. REPLACES WITH OEM FUEL CAP AND SMELL IF STILL VERY MUCH PRESENT.. 1 THING TO NOTE.. SMELL IS PRESENT ONLY WHEN FUEL TANK IS FILLED PAST HALF A TANK. WHEN I ONLY PUT ABOUT 5-6 GALLONS FROM EMPTY; THERE IS NO SMELL OR ODOR.. HAVE TRIED IT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND HAS PROVEN POSITIVE ON EACH FILL UP OVER 6 GALLONS..

AUTOMATIC SHIFTER CONTROL FAILURE: SHIFTER FAILS SUDDENLY AND ONLY ALLOWS DRIVER TO SELECT N (NEUTRAL) OR D (D) DRIVE. WILL NOT ALLOW VEHICLE TO BE PUT INTO (P) PARK OR (R) REVERSE. THIS DISABLES THE DOOR CONTROLS AND THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE EXITED IN A FAST MANNER.AND PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM PARKING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT TAKING ALTERNATIVE MEASURES TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM ROLLING. PROVIDES A UNSAFE SITUATION FOR THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.

STRONG ODOR / SMELL OF FUEL.. NOTICED AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK AND STATIONED VEHICLE IN ENCLOSED GARAGE..

STRONG FUEL SMELL COMING FROM FUEL CAP AREA, CAUSED BY SMALL FUEL PUMP LEAK. FUMES COULD CAUSE A FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THE KEY FOB WHEN INSERTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS MORE THAN 50% FULL THERE IS A STRONG PERSISTENT ODOR OF FUEL THAT FILLS MY PARKING GARAGE AND CAN ALSO BE SMELLED IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS BELOW 50% FULL THE ODOR IS LESS NOTICEABLE AND VIRTUALLY DISAPPEARS AS THE FUEL TANK EMPTIES. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE FUEL LEAKS AND THERE IS NO LACK OF PERFORMANCE FROM THE ENGINE. IT APPEARS THAT FUEL VAPORS ARE LEAKING FROM THE TANK WITHOUT LEAKING TO THE GROUND. THE FUEL CAP IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND PROPERLY SECURED.

FUEL SMELL INSIDE CAR

SEVERE GASOLINE FUEL SMELL FROM LEAKING FUEL TANK PUMP. ODOR PERMEATES GARAGE, HOUSE AND INSIDE OF CAR.

FUEL SMELL, LEAKING PUMP ON TOP OF FUEL TANK. FIRE HAZARD. FILLS GARAGE WITH FUEL SMELL THAT'S EXTREMELY STRONG. VEHICLE COULD CATCH FIRE WHILE DRIVING SPILLING ON HOT EXHAUST. COULD CAUSE HOUSE FIRE.

STRONG FUEL SMELL WHEN TANK IS OVER 1/2 FULL. FUEL LEAK ON DRIVER SIDE. STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE BY DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL WELL

A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL IN THE COCKPIT. WHILE THERE IS NO VISIBLE PUDDLE OF FUEL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR, THE FUEL ODOR IS VERY STRONG AND I AM OBLIGED TO KEEP MY GARAGE DOOR OPEN OR THE FUEL SMELL ENTERS INTO THE HOUSE. I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPT OF WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (CARMAX) AND WAS INFORMED TODAY THAT THE LEAK IS ON THE TOP OF THE LEFT FUEL TANK AND THAT TO ACCESS IT, IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT SINCE THE JOB WAS A "BIG ONE" CARMAX WOULD MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE MY CAR BROUGHT TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT MY CAR MAX SERVICE WARRANTY MIGHT NOT COVER THE REPAIRS DONE OUTSIDE THEIR SHOP. I AM BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION IN HOPES THAT DUE TO THE FIRE DANGER INVOLVED WITH LEAKING FUEL GENERAL MOTORS WILL ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL ON THE PROBLEM. THE FUEL SMELL IS AMPLIFIED WHEN THERE IS 3/4 OF A TANK OR MORE. THE FUEL SMELL IS PARTICULARLY STRONG WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN THE GARAGE. THE FUEL SMELL DIMINISHES IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OUTSIDE IN THE OPEN AIR.

I HAVE A 2010 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT WITH 46000 MILES THAT HAS STRONG GAS FUMES COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE BY THE GAS TANK WHILE PARKED IN THE GARAGE. EVEN AFTER SITTING FOR 2 DAYS THE GAS SMELL DIDN'T GO AWAY. I TOOK THE CAR INTO CHEVROLET AND THEY REPLACED THE GAS TANK AND THE FUEL PUMP ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING. THE REPAIR COST 2900.00. I ASKED THE SERVICE REP AT CHEVROLET IF THE NEW GAS TANK DESIGN FLAW HAD BEEN FIXED AND HE REPLIED THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW. I ALSO HAD A 2006 CORVETTE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM SO I HAVE TO ASSUME IT HASN'T BEEN FIXED. CHEVROLET HASN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM AND I'M AFRAID IT WILL KEEP HAPPENING AND MY HOUSE OR CAR WILL CATCH FIRE AND SOMEONE MAY GET HURT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND WE SHOULD GET REIMBURSED.

I BECAME TRAPPED INSIDE THIS LATE MODEL CORVETTE. I OPENED, ENTERED, SAT IN AND SIMPLY CLOSED THE UNLOCKED DRIVERS DOOR OF THIS CAR LOCATED IN THE FOR SALE SECTION OF THE CARMAX STORE IN WAUKESHA WI. THE DOORS LOCKED APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE AFTER ENTRY. ALL ATTEMPTS TO UNLOCK VIA THE UNLOCKING DOOR SWITCH AND INTERIOR DOOR LOCK STEM AT INTERIOR DOOR SILL FAILED TO UNLOCK AND GRANT EXIT. A FEMALE STORE VISITOR FLAGGED A FEMALE SALES ASSOCIATE 5 MINUTES LATER TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE AND OPEN THE DOOR. OXYGEN LEVELS DECREASED RAPIDLY IN ITS WINDOWS UP/DOORS CLOSED CONFIGURATION. I WAS IN A NEAR PANIC STATE. I WAS FORTUNATE TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE 60'S AND CLOUD COVER WAS HIGH. I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY AND BELIEVE FATAL CONSEQUENCE CAN EASILY RESULT FROM THIS ENGINEERING DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. UPDATED 3/31/15*CN

SMELL OF GAS IN CABIN AFTER FILL UP. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON FOR WHILE DRIVING THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES TOTAL. AFTER CAR SHUTDOWN AND RESTART IT RESETS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IF IT SHORTS PRIOR TO AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY SOMEONE MAY BE INJURED OR EVEN WORSE DIE FROM THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT VARYING SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL FLASH ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. THIS INDICATES A FAULT WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, AND AS A RESULT THE AIRBAGS ARE DEACTIVATED AND WILL NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION TO OCCUPANTS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, UPON WHICH THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE PROBLEM THEN RETURNED SEVERAL DAYS LATER. IT WOULD APPEAR BASED ON OTHERS' EXPERIENCES WITH THIS ISSUE THAT IT IS RELATED TO A WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR THAT IS SECURED TO THE SEAT FRAME. *TR

BOTH THE HEADLAMPS GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING. ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS SEEM TO BE WORKING FINE. CAR LEFT IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT AND THE HEADLAMPS FUNCTIONALITY RETURNED. THIS HAPPENED TWO DAYS IN A ROW (11JUNE2014, 12JUNE2014). PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND INVESTIGATE. THANKS! *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, MANY CORVETTE OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAFETY ISSUE, FOR NUMEROUS YEARS. MINE IS 2010. *JS

WHEN I ACCELERATE HARD FROM A STOP AND GET TO A HIGH SPEED ( OVER 80 MPH ) THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON ALL AIRBAGS ARE DISABLED. THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THE LIGHT BACK OF IS TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT. IT WILL BE FINE UNTIL I ACCELERATE QUICKLY TO A HIGH SPEED. THIS CAR WAS MADE TO DRIVE FAST AND THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIX IT. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE CORVETTE AS I HAVE TALK WITH OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL FUMES EMITTED IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL PUMP, SENSOR KIT, AND FUEL PIPE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 87,911. UPDATED 02/11/2014 *BF UPDATED 3/14/2014*JS

CONVERTIBLE TOP NEVER WORKED CORRECTLY. BROUGHT IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER, THEY CHARGED ME $1050.21, AND STILL IS NOT CORRECT. IT NEVER WORKED CORRECTLY FROM NEW. *TR

IN DAMP WEATHER, THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT FOGGED OVER FROM CONDENSATION INSIDE LENS AND THE DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WAS OBSERVED TO BE NOT WORKING. PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT HAD NO CONDENSATION AND WORKING LOW BEAM. *TR BOTH HIGH BEAMS WERE THEN TURNED ON AND OBSERVED TO BE WORKING. CONDITIONS DRIED LATER IN THE DAY AND HEADLIGHTS WERE OBSERVED TO BE WORKING. DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP CONDENSATION DRIED IN 24 HOURS. OVER THE PRIOR SIX MONTHS, CONDENSATION HAS BEEN OCCASIONALLY OBSERVED INSIDE THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP BUT THE LOW BEAM HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY FAILED TO LIGHT. CHEVROLET DEALER ( ROBERT'S CHEVROLET IN HICKSVILLE NY ) SAID THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT THE CAR FOR SERVICE UNLESS THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WAS PRESENT AT CHECK-IN EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTATION.

FROM TIME TO TIME THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. IT WILL GO OFF IF I MOVE THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK AND FORTH A LITTLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG EVEN AFTER TAKING THE DRIVER'S SEAT OUT AND COMPLETELY RE-INSTALLING IT. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME AND MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE COME TO IGNORE THE LIGHT AND ONE OF THESE DAYS THE LIGHT WILL BE ON FOR A REASON AND I WILL IGNORE IT . I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MANY OTHER 2010 CORVETTE OWNERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT MY SUSPICION IS THAT THE ISSUE IS IN THE WIRING WHICH MAY BE GETTING PINCHED FROM TIME TO TIME AS THE SEAT MOVES BACK AND FORTH. *TR

The contact's daughter owned a 2010 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated while her daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed on a rainy night, there was another unoccupied vehicle stopped side ways in the middle of the highway with no hazards lights activated. The contact stated that the front driver's side of the vehicle crashed into the other vehicle. The contact stated that the driver's side and passenger's side air bags failed to fully deploy as needed. The contact was occupying the rear passenger's side seat and was wearing a seat belt; however, the contact was propelled between the front driver's side and front passenger's side seats, causing the contact's left shoulder to hit the driver's side seat. The contact sustained a right shoulder dislocation, headache, neckache and soreness all over the body. The contact's daughter who was occupying the front driver's side seat hit her face against the steering wheel and sustained bruises and minor cuts on the face. The driver also sustained soreness on the shoulders, knees, feet, back, head and the face. The contact's niece who was occupying the front passenger's side seat hit her forehead against the windshield and the windshield was fractured. The contact 's niece sustained cuts on the forehead and severe neck pain that required her to be out of school for an extended period of time. The ambulance transported all passengers to the emergency room, where medical assistance was provided. The vehicle was towed and totaled. A police report was filed but the contact did not have the information available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the failure occurred because an object that was hanging on the driver's key holder had caused the ignition switch to turn off. No assistance was provided. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.

DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) DISPLAYS "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM" AND ALTERNATING TO "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM". OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING WHEN DRIVING; THESE SYSTEMS ABRUPTLY STOP WORKING WITH OUT DRIVER TURNING THEM OFF. THIS COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS NOT ABOUT A COMPONENT FAILURE, BUT RATHER AN INADEQUATE COMPONENT, SPECIFICALLY THE GOODYEAR F1 SUPERCAR TIRES THAT CAME AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON MY 2010 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT COUPE. THESE TIRES ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST TO HYDROPLANE OF ANY TIRES ON ANY VEHICLE I HAVE DRIVEN IN MY 45+ YEARS OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED WHEN THERE IS WATER ON THE ROAD. I HAVE APPROACHED THE DEALER AND CHEVROLET ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AS TO WHAT I CAN DO TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION AND HAVE BEEN STONEWALLED AT EVERY STEP. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS AND MANY OF THEM HAVE SWAPPED OUT THE STANDARD ISSUE GOODYEARS FOR MICHELINS AT A COST OF AROUND $2000 AND THAT SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET MY DEALER OR CHEVROLET TO CONFIRM THIS. THEIR ANSWER IS TO REPLACE THEM WITH THE SAME TIRE THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE. MY CAR IS NEARLY TWO YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT, SO TIRE WEAR IS NOT THE ISSUE. THE Z06 AND ZR1 MODELS COME STANDARD WITH MICHELINS AND I THINK THE GRAND SPORT SHOULD AS WELL. I KNOW IT IS TOO LATE FOR ME, BUT NEW OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE NEW TIRES WITH VERY EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENTS IN ORDER TO BE SAFE WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WEIGHT CAPACITY LABEL STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 388 LBS. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE ACTUAL LOAD CAPACITY WAS 800 POUNDS. WHEN CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER, HE WAS ADVISED THAT THE LOAD CAPACITY SHOULD NOT EXCEED 388 POUNDS, WHICH WAS LISTED ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED WITH DETERMINING THE ACTUAL LOAD CAPACITY. THERE WERE NO FAILURES IN THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130.

I HAVE A 2009 CORVETTE C6 WITH 9500 MILES ON IT. THE AIRBAG WARNING COMES ON AND STAYS ON. DEALER TURNED OFF THE WARNING NOW AND SAID I HAVE DEFECTIVE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAGS. HE WAS GOING TO ORDER NEW ONES AND I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FOR A MONTH NOW. I AM DRIVING A NEW CAR WITHOUT AIRBAGS??? *TR

I DECIDED TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT SINCE I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY CORVETTE AND THE CONTINUED ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM WITH THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AT LEAST THREE TIMES ALREADY. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR MAINTENANCE WAS ON JUNE 14TH. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT HE ENSURED ALL THE CONNECTORS WERE TIGHTENED, RESET THE CODES AND THE CAR WAS READY. ON FRIDAY JUNE 25TH I DROPPED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR THE 2ND TIME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM (SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM). I WAS CONTACTED BY A JOHN SAUDER SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE AROUND 12:30 PM THAT DAY WHO APPRISED ME THAT MY CAR WAS READY FOR PICK UP AFTER THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETED. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DROVE LESS THAN 30 MILES WHEN THE CAR AGAIN WENT INTO 'REDUCED POWER MODE' AND THE SAME ERROR CODES APPEARED (SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM) THIS WAS ON JUNE 26TH. THE CAR WAS SERVICED AGAIN ON JUNE 27TH FOR THE IDENTICAL ISSUE AND RETURNED TO ME ON JULY 1ST. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MILES I RECEIVED THE IDENTICAL MESSAGES AT 1330 MILES. WHEN THE CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE ON JUNE 27TH JOHN DAUDER CHEVROLET STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED AND THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD CORRECTED THE ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY THE PERSONAL AUDIO LINK (PAL) INSTALLED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT REMOVING THE PAL WOULD ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM. THAT WAS PREMATURE. TO DATE, I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR LESS THAN 1350 MILES. FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR MORE THAN 18 DAYS AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR SERVICE 13 DAYS NOT COUNTING THE FACT THAT I WILL DROP OFF THE CAR FOR SERVICE ON JULY 13, 2010 BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE THE 4TH TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING 65 MPH AND ABOVE DOWNHILL, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED TO FUNCTION IN THAT MANNER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. *TR

MY 2010 CORVETTE ZR1 DISPLAYS THE "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING" MESSAGE EVERY FEW DRIVES. IT IS SPORADIC, AND INTERMITTENT... THE PROBLEM DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE AN IDENTIFIABLE CAUSE, OR CONDITION TO MAKE THE MESSAGE APPEAR, ONLY THAT IT DOES, AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO FEEL RIGHT. IT ALSO SEEMS TO BE INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. I HAVE LESS THAN 1,600 MILES ON THE CAR, NO BUMPS, NO ACCIDENTS, NOTHING... THE CAR IS IN "PERFECT CONDITION" ASIDE FROM THE "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING" MESSAGE ON THE DRIVERS INFORMATION CONSOLE DISPLAY. *TR
