I do but since I been charged with dangers driving the insurance company is going to come after me but if some how I can prove to the court what really happened and that it happens to other people too. That is my only option but since judge didn’t see any other reason for the car to go all over the place he just put me in jail for dangers driving causing death

The insurance company might drop you for future coverage, but they must back your current liability claims. This troll just fell over the BS barrier.

Because even when active handling is turned off, the system is still active in the background. When a fault is detected, it can still apply a brake randomly. Had it happen on my '01 Z06 during the 2003 One Lap of America. System was off and the right front brake applied for a second while doing 100+ mph at Road America. Did it every ignition cycle each time the car went over 100 mph on the track. DRM was our sponsor. They called GM powertrain engineers and we were told the only way to completely deactivate the active handling system was to pull the steering position sensor.
Your post is extremely valuable. If the replacement yaw sensor does not work, I will be disconnecting the steering position sensor. Thank you!

This exact thing happened to me as well about a month back in my 02 Z. I was accelerating at a normal rate from a red light when all of a sudden it felt like my passenger front brake locked for a split second. I was only going about 35 at the time and it didnt pull me all the way into the other lane, but dang sure had me worried to drive too fast and it happen. It didnt throw any codes tho, but now itll throw a service active handling code randomly for a few minutes then its gone. Or a service engine soon code for a few minutes then it disappears. All the advice in this thread is extremely helpful. GLad i came acrossed it. Thanks alot!

I'm not sure which way I'm leaning as it is his brothers Vette he was driving. Secondly if active handling did cause this it is a tragedy for sure. Heck it's a tragedy either way but if the gentlemen was simply driving and this happened as he says we should all be scared. I think Dillion , that you need to pull that black box ASAP. Have your insurance company do this. If they have to pay and this can prove your innocence the. You need to do so now! If there was another yellow Vette beside you and you were racing or at least started to accelerate too quick and lost control then you need to just pray every day for forgiveness from whatever god you worship. Wish I could help more but that's all I have for you. I just don't understand why your insurance company hasn't pulled the computers yet? Especially if you still have the car.

Also jus think if it was jus a Honda accord or something would people think the same way about this accident. The person who said the cars sounded like jets maybe he doesn't know how a corvette with after market exhaust sounds like oh that person also said that he was doing 30km in a 60km zone media didn't mention that either

A Honda could not accelerate itself out of control like the vette did. Neither TC, AH, EBCS or ABS can accelerate the vehicle at all. You accelerated the vehicle out of control. You got off easy, think of poor Mr. Benning and his family. No matter what your vehicle and your control or lack there-of killed Mr. Benning. The witnesses weren't all lying, the press was not out to crucify you, neither the police nor your attorney found any defect with the car and the judge kissed your ***; just ask Mr Benning's son. One year for killing someone, you got the break of a lifetime.

wow, this is scary. It took me a long time to decide to finally buy a Corvette after always wanting one and decided on a C5 vert. It has been fun reading the forum and starting to look at cars, but this issue really scares me. Do all the C5's have AH? Are most of you turning it off each time you drive? Is this problem more likely to happen with early vs late C5's?
