NHTSA Complaint #10721923 — 1999 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

THE CORVETTE SHUT DOWN AND DISPLAYED STEERING COLUMN LOCK. BASED ON PRIOR GM CORVETTE RECALLS THE RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM (STEERING COLUMN LOCK) WHERE THEY STATE "A CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING" DID NOT COVER ALL CORVETTES MADE DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. GM SERVICE OPERATIONS DCS851 EFFECTIVE THROUGH 2003. I DID NOT GET FAR WITH GM OR THE DEALERSHIP ON ADDRESSING THE COLUMN LOCK ISSUE. SINCE GM STATES IT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH IT SURPRISED ME THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY INTEREST IN LOOKING INTO WHETHER THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE OTHER CORVETTES DURING THE TIME PERIOD THEY HAD OVER 126,000 AFFECTED. IF IT WAS NECESSARY BACK THAN WHAT IS DIFFERENT NOW?
