Oh joy! 3200 miles and my DIC is lit up!!! Service Active Handling/Traction Control
2011, ZO6, ZO7 package, carbon fiber package, black..........
I was coming home today on a great twisty road at about 40 and the exhaust changed from the steady rumble of the Mild to Wild to a sort an engine missing sound. I looked down at the DIC and it was flashing "Service Actve Handing System" alternating with " Service Traction Control System". The Active Handling light was on as well. The only service to the car so far has been an oil change and replacement of the left front shock by the dealer as it was leaking.
I know that part of the whole traction/handling system is to sometimes affect engine power. I wonder if this is causing the engine missing feeling/ sound.
Anyway, our Chevy dealer is the Toyota dealer who took over Chevy when the old dealership went under......so, wish me luck that anyone there will have any idea about fixing this. I love this car but this is more than a little disappointing after spending 80 thou!!!!
Ideas and prayers appreciated as always.

This is this place at it's best. Thank you guys!!!! As I think about it, it felt like a cylinder misfiring. I will check plug wires tomorrow.
I APPRECIATE VERY MUCH THE KIND INPUT!
Aloha,
Jim

LTVN68,
I'm sorry to hear this. If that dealership is unsatisfactory I'll be more than happy to set you up with some dealerships I've heard great things from.

Good luck. I hope it's an easy fix. I'll arrive Kona in a week for a 2 week stay. I hope to catch a glimpse of your car at some point- that would mean you're back on the road!

Les,
I know vacation time is precious but I will PM you my cell #. It would be my pleasure to meet a fellow CF member and buy you lunch or at least a cup of coffee, but I sure understand if you are just here to put your feet up!
I am off to check the plug wires. By the way, count on there being Vog in Kona.......great weather, but the volcano is still smoking up the place!

Went the bank yesterday and hit some nice s turns in 2nd gear at high rpm. Entrance to curves has rumble strips. Exit after turns into the bank and turned off the ignition. Run in, out and on restart car is misfiring and check engine light with service active handling light.
Plug wire came loose, thanks for the tip. I assume the check engine light will go away after several clean runs.
