Consumer Description

IN 2004 MY 2001 CHEVY CORVETTE WAS RECALLED DUE TO DEFECTS WHICH COULD CAUSE THE STEERING COLUMN TO LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE RECALLS AND WAS TOLD THE RECALLS WERE ACCOMPLISHED, BUT I DISCOVERED IN APRIL, 2010 THAT THE RECALLS HAD NOT BEEN ACCOMPLISHED. THE STEERING COLUMN OF THE CAR LOCKED UP WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON OR ABOUT APRIL 6, 2010. THE DEALER WHO CLAIMED TO HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THE RECALLS LIED AND PUT MY LIFE AND OTHER'S LIVES IN JEOPARDY. I DEMAND THAT ACTION BE TAKEN AGAINST THE DEALER AND AGAINST GM FOR THIS INTENTIONAL DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE! *TR
