Consumer Description

TRIED TO START MY CORVETTE WHICH IS STORED IN THE GARAGE AND DASH SCREEN STATED "SERVICE COLUMN LOCK" AND VEHICLE WILL NOT START. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR 2005 MANUAL TRANSMISSION CORVETTES AND LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CALLED GM TO SEE IF MY VIN WOULD BE COVERED SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH A FAULTY PART, AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT. GM SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS AND RECALL THIS KNOWN PROBLEM TO FIX OR REIMBURSE THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR THIS VERY INCONVENIENT AND DANGEROUS ISSUE.
