STEERING
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO PLACE A COMPLAINT ABOUT GM. THEY HAVE HAD A RECALL ON Y CORVETTE WHERE THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD LOCK UP AND FUEL SHUTS OFF. THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR . MY CAR IS AT THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER EVEN SAID ITS RELATED TO THE RECALL . I THINK THIS SHOULD BE REPORTED ASAP. MANY OTHER CORVETTE OWNERS ARE AFFECTED BY THIS DEFECT AND GM REFUSES TO PAY AND CLAIMS THAT THE CARS IS OUT OF WARRANT THIS IS A 1999 CORVETTE. A RECALL IS A RECALL AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER. PLEASE ADVISE ON HOW TO PROCEED AND FURTHER REPORT GM FOR THIS ABUSE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
HI, WE HAVE A 1999 CORVETTE AND WHEN WE WENT TO START IT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED AND WOULD NOT RELEASE FOR SOMETIME. I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER DATED FEBRUARY 2006 FROM GM STATING THEY WOULD FIX A PROBLEM IN THE EVENT THIS WAS A PROBLEM, BUT IT WAS NOT A RECALL!!!! WE CHECKED ON THE RECALLS AND SUPPOSEDLY THE PROBLEMS WERE FIXED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A GM DEALER AND TO NO AVAIL THE LETTER HAD AN EXPIRATION DATE OF FEBRUARY 29, 2008. NOW IF THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED WHY ARE WE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING COLUMN FAILURE? IT DOES STATE THAT IF THE STEERING COLUMN FAILS THAT THE VEHICLE COULD CAUSE THE FUEL SUPPLY TO SHUT OFF AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE DIC DISPLAYS THIS MESSAGE ALL THE TIME. THE GM DEALER WOULD NOT FIX IT ONLY IF I WAS GOING TO PAY. I FEEL WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM WITH THIS GM ISSUE. IF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THE RIGHT WAY WHEN IT WAS TAKEN FOR THE RECALL THEN THIS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT EXISTING RIGHT NOW. WE WERE NOT THE OWNERS AT THE TIME THIS VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL. I ALSO CALLED GM AND THEY SAID IT WAS ALSO NOT COVERED NOW BECAUSE THERE WAS AN EXPIRATION DATE ON THE LETTER WE RECEIVED EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM JUST OCCURRED THIS YEAR AFTER WE PUT THE CAR BACK ON THE ROAD FOR THE SUMMER. WHAT OPTIONS TO I HAVE RIGHT NOW AS WE ONLY DRIVE THE CAR AROUND TOWN AND WE DON'T DARE DRIVE TO FAR? *TR

STEERING
I EXPERIENCED THE STEERING COLUMN ON MY 1999 CORVETTE LOCK UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. I WAS ONLY IN A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT AND WAS ABLE TO STOP AND CALL FOR HELP. I CALLED MY LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY AND THEY HAD INFORMED ME THAT I MUST HAVE MY CAR TOWED IN FOR THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. UPON ARRIVING AT THE REPAIR FACILITY, THEY INFORMED ME THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THEY CHECK MY VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND QUICKLY REALIZED THAT THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED ON MY CAR. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE PARTS ONCE AGAIN AND I WAS CHARGED ALMOST $700 FOR THE REPAIR. I ASKED WHY I NEEDED TO PAY FOR THE RECALL AND THEY SAID I WAS PAYING FOR IT BECAUSE THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED. I RESEARCHED THE EXACT RECALL PERTAINING TO THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT (04V0600000) AND DISCOVERED SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAPPEN IF THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RECONFIGURED AS TO DISABLE IT FROM BEING DRIVEN WHILE THE STEERING COLUMN WAS LOCKED UP. ON THE MODELS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE LOCK WAS REMOVED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AND A LOCK WAS INSTALLED ON THE SHIFTER SO IT COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE PARK POSITION. THIS WAS ALSO INTENDED TO KEEP THE ANTI-THEFT FEATURE. ON MODELS EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, THE LOCK ON THE STEERING COLUMN COULD NOT BE REMOVED BECAUSE THIS WAS THE ONLY ANTI-THEFT DEVICE. INSTEAD THE FUEL TO THE ENGINE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE INTERRUPTED IF THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP. ON MY VEHICLE, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR INTO A PARKING SPOT AT THE RESTAURANT. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE STEERING COLUMN BEING LOCKED UP. I CALLED THE GENERAL MOTORS REIMBURSEMENT DEPARTMENT AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID MY CLAIM WAS DENIED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, MILEAGE OR WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO SAFETY RECALLS. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

STEERING
BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY IN MY 1999 CORVETTE, STEERING COLUMN LOCKED CAUSING ME TO GO OVER A CURB. WARNING LIGHT CAME ON DASH BOARD. I HAD CAR TOWED TO NEAREST CHEVY DEALER WHERE THEY PROCEEDED TO CHANGE THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK MOTOR. THEY TOLD ME THAT A RECALL (#04006B ON FEB/2004)ON THIS CAR WAS PERFORMED AND IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I INQUIRED AS TO A SECOND POSTED RECALL #04006C) SERVICE MGR TOLD ME HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT SECOND RECALL. THEY CHARGED ME $579.79 TO REPAIR AND DID NOT FOLLOW THE GUIDE LINES STATED IN THE SECOND RECALL, WHERE AS THE COLUMN LOCK ASSEMBLY IS TO BE RENDERED INOPERATIVE. I FEEL I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND CHEVROLET REFUSES TO REIMBURSE ME AND DISABLE THE LOCK ASSEMBLY. TALKING TO OTHER PEOPLE ON LINE, THIS PROBLEM HAS RETURNED ON MANY VEHICLES AFTER RECALL WAS PERFORMED. I AM WEARY OF DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF AND WHEN MY STEERING COLUMN WILL LOCK CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR POSSIBLE LOSS OF LIFE. GM MUST BE FORCED TO DO THE RIGHT THING HERE AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK. *TR

STEERING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO UNLOCK THE STEERING COLUMN, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE CONTACT COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V060000 (STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE). THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY FINANCIAL REIMBURSEMENT TO THE DEALER; THEREFORE, THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE REPAIRED ACCORDING TO THE REMEDYING INSTRUCTIONS REFERENCED IN THE RECALL AT THE COST OF $700. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOUR YEARS AGO ACCORDING TO THIS SAME RECALL AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND IS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 42,220.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
ON 03/28/08 MY 1999 CORVETTE WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE AS REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO START & DRIVE FAILED WITH DASH DISPLAY INDICATING "SERVICE STEERING SYSTEM, REMOVE KEY WAIT 10 SECONDS". AT THAT POINT WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE DEALER CALLED AND SAID A WIRE HARNESS WITH A RELAY HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF $500.00+. I MENTIONED TO THE SERVICE WRITER THAT THIS CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A NHTSA RECALL # 04V060000 AND A GM TSB # 01-02-35-008 AND HAD BEEN PERFORMED TWICE SINCE NEW. HE SAID GM WILL ONLY DO RECALL ONCE AND THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS WORK. HE GAVE ME A 800 NUMBER AT GM TO CALL, OF WHICH I DID AND GOT NO SATISFACTION. I THEN AUTHORIZED THE DEALER TO DO THE REPAIR AND PICKED THE CAR UP ON 04/14/08 PAYING THEM $546.99 + AN $85.00 TOW BILL. ON 04/19/08 SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER PULLING OUT OG MY GARAGE. I PULLED THE KEY WAITED 10 SECONDS AND IT WORKED ON SECOND ATTEMPT. ON 4/21 PROBLEM RECURRED ANY AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR GOING AND DROVE TO THE DEALER AND LEFT THE CAR TO BE CHECKED (7:45 AM). AFTER WAITING A DAY TO HEAR FROM DEALER I VISITED THEM (4/22/08) AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I REQUESTED THEY RELEASE THE CAR TO ME AT THAT POINT, HOWEVER AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO OPERATE. AFTER A WAIT OF 20 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO DRIVE AND TOOK IT HOME. AT THIS POINT I HAD BEEN ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND AN AFTER MARKET PART CALLED STEERING LOCK SIMULATOR KIT PURCHASED IT AND INSTALLED IT ON 04/24/08. TO DATE 05/07/08 PROBLEM HAS NOT RECURRED AND I'M HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. MY MAIN CONCERNS ARE: WHY DIDN'T GM COVER THE COST OF REPAIR ON THIS AS A SAFETY RECALL? WHY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIX OR KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM? I PAID LESS THAN $50.00 FOR THE PART THAT CURED THE PROBLEM! I HAVE SENT OFF A COMPLAINT LETTER TO CHEVROLET STATING ALL OF THE ABOVE, AND REQUESTED MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY NOT PAY THE DEALER. SIGNED, LOU CARDOZA *TR

STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE
STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP FOR THE 3RD TIME SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR (5 MOS). ON TWO OCASSIONS IT EVENTUALLY RELEASED ON ITS OWN. THE GM RECALL BULLETIN 04006C, ELECTRONIC COLUMN LOCK, WAS REFUSED BY BOBBY MURRAY CHEVROLET IN RALEIGH, NC, UNLESS I AGREED TO PAY $90/HR FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THEY STATE I HAVE ALREADY HAD A RECALL PERFORMED (AN OLDER RECALL, NOT 04006C ACCORDING TO THE VIS SERVICE DATE), SO THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO WITHOUT PAYMENT. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY DISAGREE WITH THE DEALERSHIP'S ASSESMENT, AND TO THIS DATE HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO GM'S INQUIRIES.IT APPEARS TO ME TO BE ALL ABOUT THE MONEY AND THAT THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUES INVOLVED. ACCORDING TO NHTSA AND GM, THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN RELEASED BACK TO ME WITHOUT THE RECALL PERFORMED. AT NO COST!
