Consumer Description

1997 CORVETTE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP PERIODICALLY. PREVIOUSLY HAD BEEN ABLE TO RELEASE IT. LAST WEEK IT OCCURRED WHIL CAR WAS MOVING. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED AND REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE REP REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM IN 1997 MODEL YEAR, JUST LATER (SUPPOSEDLY A RECALL EXISTS). SHE SAID THAT I "SHOULD KEEP MY RECEIPT" IN CASE GM DECIDES TO RECOGNIZE IT AS A PROBLEM. I'M OUT $550 AND WORRIED THAT THEIR DENYING THE PROBLEM IN 1997S IS GOING TO COST LIVES. MY BUSINESS PARTNER ALSO HAS A '97 AND HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK
