Consumer Description

ON APRIL4, 2006, WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, MY 1998 CORVETTE, WHEN I TRIED TO START MY ENGINE, THE STEERING COLUMN FAILED TO UNLOCK AND WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT DOWN. I CALL THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER, BILL BRANCH CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 3980 FOWLER ST, FT MYERS ,FL 33901. THEY SAID THEY UNDERSTOOD THE PROBLEM AND WOULD SEND A TOW TRUCK TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE AS I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. THEY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AT NO CHARGE BUT BILLED ME FOR TOWING. AS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE WAS LISTED UNDER YOUR RECALL, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 00V111000,AS OF FEB 6,2004 WHY WOULD I BE CHARGED FOR TOWING ???? *TR
