Consumer Description

2000 CHEVROLET CORVETTE THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK FEATURE IS MALFUNCTIONING. THE CAR WILL START BUT IMMEDIATELY DIES IF MOVED. THE MESSAGE DISPLAYED READS :SERVICE STEERING COLUMN LOCK. THIS SAME PROBLEM AROSE APPROX. 10 DAYS AGO, BUT RE-SET. APPROX. 2 YEARS AGO, FOLLOWING THE SAME PROBLEMS, GM PERFORMED A RE-CALL, AND INSTALLED SOME KIND OF 'FIX'. IT'S DOING EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS RECALLED FOR. THE FIX DOESN'T WORK, AT LEAST FOR LONG. I LOVE THE CAR, BUT WITH THIS PROBLEM, IT IS UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS. GM SHOULD BE MADE TO PERMANENTLY FIX THIS PROBLEM. MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS WIDE-SPREAD OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS WITH THE CORVETTE. *TR
