NHTSA Complaint #10023750 — 1998 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

MY 1998 CORVETTE, MANULA TRANSMISSION, WAS TAKEN TO GEORGE MOORE CHEVROLET ON JUNE 23 FOR WARRANTY WINDOW REPAIR. UPON PICK-UP, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RELEASE MY CAR DUE TO STEERING WHEEL COLUMN LOCK-UP, DURING INITIAL KEY-IN AND START-UP. KATHLEEN DEMETER ACKNOWLEDGES THIS CONCERN IN HER LETTER TO JAY EHLE, DATED FEB.5,2003 (NVS-213, EA02-031). EVERY ATTEMPT TO FIX/ADDRESS THE PROBLEM RESULTED IN NO FIX. GM STATS THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. I CONTEND IT MUST BE FOR GM TO HAVE FOUND THE SAME ERROR IN EARLIER/LATER MODEL YEARS. IT NOW IS COSTING ME $500.00 TO FIX IT. CAN YOU ASSIST ME? *NLM
