Consumer Description

2005 CORVETTE STEERING COLUMN LOCK WOULD NOT ALLOW ENGINE TO START BUT WOULD ALLOW STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE. DEALER REPLACED COLUMN LOCK SYSTEM, WORKED OK FOR 10 DAYS. CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN, COLUMN LOCK WOULD NOT RELEASE STEERING WHEEL. I UNDERSTAND EARLIER MODEL VETTES RECALLED TO FIX THIS WITH A BYPASS. LATER MODEL VETTES DO NOT HAVE THIS LOCKING SYSTEM. PART IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE FOR 2005. I AM CONCERNED THAT COLUMN LOCK WILL ENGAGE WHILE I AM DRIVING. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY CRASHES RESULTING FROM THIS? I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR
