NHTSA Complaint #10236879 — 2000 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING LOCK COLUMN ON MY 2000 CHEVY CORVETTE. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2003 AND THE CAR HAD 10,000 MILES. I STILL HAD THE WARRANTY ON IT. IN 2005 MY STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED IN TO KELLEY CHEVORLET. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE LOCK SYSTEM. THEY REPLACED THE HARNESS AND LOKE PLATE AND ACTUATOR. FEW MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED AGAIN THEY FIXED IT AGAIN AND DID THE SAME THING. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THEY REPLACED THE SAME PARTS AGAIN...THE LAST TIME IT WAS THERE. BUT THIS TIME THEY TOOK THE LOCK PLATE OUT COMPLETELY, THEY SAID THAT GM TOLD THEM TO DO IT TO FIX THE RECALL..NOW ITS JULY 08 AND AGAIN IT HAD TO BE TOWED IN AND THEY REPLACED THE SAME PARTS AGAIN AND NOW THEY WANT ME TOO PAY 1100.00...SO THEY HAD IT THERE 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 YEARS... I PURCHASED THIS AR WITH A LOK SYSTEM IN IT ND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT GIVES THEM THE RIGHT TO RIG IT BYE TAKEN THE WHOLE LOKS SYSTEM OUT. I PAID 32,000 FOR MY CAR WHEN I PURCHASED IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY GET AWAY WITH CHARGING ME 1100.00 DOLLARS THAT THEY CHANGED THE RECALL PART 4 TIMES. I PUT THIS ON MY CREDIT CARD BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME MY CAR UNTIL I PAID FOR IT, THIS WAS A RECALL PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH AND THEY NEVER FIXED IT PROPERLY, SO WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT NOW. *TR
