NHTSA Complaint #11114633 — 1999 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

MY STEERING COLUMN FAILED IN "LOCKED" POSITION. CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN. I CALLED CHEVY GLOBAL AND TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED IN RECALL NUMBER 04006C. I CALLED DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE STEERING COLUMN WAS FIXED IN 2004, TWO YEARS BEFORE THE 2006 RECALL. I ASKED HOW COULD THE COLUMN LOCK IF THE ORIGINAL LOCK PLATE WAS REMOVED? NO ONE CAN ANSWER THAT. THEY PROCEEDED TO REMOVE THE LOCK PLATE AND CHARGE ME $300. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OF THIS RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN BACK IN 2006.
