NHTSA Complaint #11241165 — 2000 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

MY 2000 CHEVROLET CORVETTE HAS APPROXIMATELY 57,500 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT. RECALL #04006 WAS COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE BY DEALER CODE 20385 BACK IN 2004. I DID SEE THEY RELEASED RECALL'S #04006B AND 04006C AS WELL. I STARTED MY CAR ON 7/30/2019 AND I WAS SITTING IN THE GARAGE WHEN I SAW THE "STEERING COLUMN LOCK" MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR WAS STARTED AND NOW THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED AND CAN NOT BE TURNED. I REACHED OUT TO TWO LOCAL SAN DIEGO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS; BOB STALL CHEVROLET AND JIMMIE JOHNSON CHEVROLET, CORPORATE GM, CORPORATE CHEVROLET AND THE NTSB. THEY ALL TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, THEY SAID I WILL HAVE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY! I COULD HAVE TAKEN THE CAR OUT FOR A DRIVE AND HAD THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP AS IM DRIVING. DOING RESEARCH ONLINE AND READING THE RECALL BULLETIN IS IT POSSIBLE THE REPAIR WAS NOT DONE PROPERLY? I DON'T KNOW, I DID NOT OWN THE CAR WHEN THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. I WAS GIVEN A CASE # OF [XXX] WHEN I CALLED 1-800-630-2438. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PICTURES. CONTACT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR 10 MONTHS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT *LN*JB *LN*JB
