Last week while driving to Cali in that crazy rain, a "Service Active Handling Soon" message appeared for the first time. It would reset on its own for a day but it keeps coming back every other day now. Also my "check engine" light would come on and off every other day(however this has happened numerous times in the past). The forums speaks about a possible bad "steering position sensor" at the base of the steering wheel. Just wondering if anyone had this message before?  I'm taking it back to Carmax or Dealer next week to have it looked at. (I have an extended Warranty). |

That's the best thing to do, Rick. When a message comes back so quickly, usually it warrants a check up.

Our ABS Traction Control light is also on, but it appears to be some sort of sensor. Steve and John were able to get the code from the car and the Chevy dealer has given us a quote to replace.

Just received a call from Fairway Cheverolet, they say they could not get my Active Handling to Fail...whatever that means. But they DID find a bad fuel pump and a bad mass air flow sensor....REPAIR COST $1950.00/a 10.5 hour job !!....Phew....Thank God for the $1800.00 CarMax Extended Warranty. I only need to pay $75 deductible.
They said if I have a problem with Active Handling again in the future they (CarMax Warranty) will pay for repair without me having to pay another deductible.
