Consumer Description

RE: NHTSA ID 04V060000. MY 2000 CORVETTE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT RELEASE WHILE IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS FAILURE IS SUPPOSED TO INITIATE A FUEL SHUTOFF TO PREVENT VEHICLE MOVEMENT. HOWEVER, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT UP A TOW TRUCK RAMP FOR TRANSPORTATION TO A GM DEALER. FORTUNATELY, THE FRONT WHEELS WERE STRAIGHT WHEN THE COLUMN LOCKED UP. THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THIS SITUATION IS THAT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED IN THE CURRENT RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. I WAS REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS WHICH INVOLVED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE COLUMN LOCK SWITCH.*AK
