Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 CORVETTE WITH 15,000 MILES AND HAVE TWICE WITHIN ONE DAY HAD MY STEERING WHEEL NOT UNLOCK UPON STARTING THE CAR. WENT TO A CORVETTE SHOP FOR HELP WAS TOLD ITS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CORVETTES AND THAT I SHOULD PULL THE STEERING WHEEL CLOCKWISE WHILE INSERTING THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION, IT WORKED. MY QUESTION IS THERE A PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM, I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM CONCERNING CORVETTES. *JB
