Consumer Description

I ANSWERED THE RECALL ON THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK FOR MY 1998 CORVETTE IN NOVEMBER 2004. IT HAS STRANDED ME 6 TIMES SINCE AND SAYS "STEERING COLUMN LOCK" ON THE MESSAGE BOARD. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO DO IT SO WE HAVE BASICALLY QUIT DRIVING THE CAR. IN 400 MILES SINCE NOVEMBER IT HAS FAILED 6 TIMES AND HAD TO BE TOWED IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE 7TH TIME WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP, IT FAILED AGAIN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SO I HAD TO LEAVE IT AGAIN. NOW I DON'T TRUST IT TO DRIVE IT AND I CAN'T SELL IT FOR FEAR OF BEING SUED. WHAT DO I DO? GM SAYS THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE AND I WILL HAVE TO JUST KEEP TAKING IT BACK. THEY SAID ANY LEGAL CLAIMS WOULD HAVE TO BE DIRECTED AT THE DEALERSHIP. *NM
