NHTSA Complaint #10898943 — 2004 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRONIC COLUMN LOCKING SYSTEM WAS HAVING INTERMITTENT SEVERE FAILURE. WHEN TRYING TO STEER THE CAR AFTER IGNITION AND MOVING DOWN THE ROAD THE WHEEL WOULD LOCK IN CERTAIN POSITIONS AND TO PREVENT A CRASH I WOULD HAVE TO STOP THE CAR AND HOPE THE LOCKING SYSTEM RELEASED. I FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE WAS COVERED BY #04006C PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL. WHEN I CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT NUCAR CHEVROLET; THEY INDICATED THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT STILL OPEN. THUS I WAS FORCED TO HAVE MY MECHANIC REPAIR THIS BEFORE A SERIOUS CRASH OCCURRED. I ALSO CALLED THE CHEVROLET PRODUCT RECALL LINE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE OF THE AFFECTED VIN'S. THAT IS NOT THE CASE IF YOU REVIEW DOCUMENT ID#1761087 OR THE ATTACHED DOCUMENTATION I HAVE FOUND. ON 8/24/16 I PAID $215.46 PLUS MY TIME AND TALENT TO RESEARCH AND BRING THIS FORWARD. I BELIEVE GM NEEDS TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS ISSUE. PLEASE ADVISE HOW BEST TO PROCEED. THANK YOU *JS *JS
