Consumer Description

I WAS LEAVING MY HOME FOR WORK. A WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH STATED "STEERING COLUMN LOCK FAILURE". THE ENGINE CUT OFF AND THE COLUMN LOCKED. THANKFULLY THIS HAPPENED AT 20-25MPH. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK ACTUATOR HAD SHORTED. THIS ACTUATOR, ACCORDING TO GM RECORDS, HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACED UNDER A SAFETY RECALL. THEY CHARGED ME OVER $500 TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR THIS TIME. AT SPEED A STEERING COLUMN LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURE COULD BE DEADLY. *TR
