Consumer Description

I STARTED MY 2002 CHEVY CORVETTE Z06, BUT THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED AND WOULD NOT UNLOCK. A WARNING LIGHT INDICATED TO "REMOVE KEY AND WAIT 10 SECONDS" I DID THIS, BUT IT DID NOT ALLOW THE STEERING COLUMN TO UNLOCK. PER ADVICE FROM THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP, I DISCONNECTED/RECONNECTED THE BATTERY, BUT AGAIN THE STEERING LOCK WOULD NOT UNLOCK WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED. IT CURRENTLY CANNOT BE DRIVEN AND IS STRANDED IN MY GARAGE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND UNDERSTAND THAT RECALL: 04V060000 WAS ISSUED FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. AFTER CONTACTING MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID BECAUSE THE CAR IS TEN (10) YEARS OLD, THEY MAY NOT HAVE TO HONOR THE TOWING AND REPAIRS AT NO COST. BECAUSE I HAVE MOVED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST THREE (3) YEARS I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. *TR
