POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN HIT OR ANY TYPE OF PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE CORVETTE HAS VERY LOUD RATTLES COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. IT CAN BE HEARD 45 FEET AWAY FROM THE CAR. CHEVY IS STATING IT'S NORMAL ADN ARE IGNORING ALL COMPLAINTS BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT. THE DEALER HAS GIVEN ME A NOTE FROM GM JUSTIFING THE EXCESSIVE NOISE. WEBSITE (SERVICE.GM.COM/SERVLETS/BLOBSHTM1?SHM1FILE=1297757&PUBID=319) I HAVE A $57,000 RATTLE BOX... WHAT CAN I DO? *AK

STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE
I HAD THE SAME COLUMN-LOCK ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED ON THE C5 CORVETTE. I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2002 MANUAL-TRANSMISSION VETTE AND HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED. I HAD HAD NO PREVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKING. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY CHECKED THE COLUMN-LOCK MECHANISM AND THEN REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. HOWEVER, SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, MY STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UPON STARTUP.*AK

STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE
IN SHORT, I EXPERIENCED THE "STEERING COLUMN LOCK" ERROR THAT IS NOW RECALLED ON CERTAIN CHEVY CORVETTE. I HAD THIS REPAIRED AT MY COST. MY 1998 CHEVY CORVETTE VIN [XXX] FELL WITHIN GM'S VIN ON THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 01-02-35-008, BUT MY REPAIRS WERE NOT PERFORMED FOR FREE, AS STATED IN THE BULLETIN. I HAVE CONTACTED GM SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT. THEY CLAIM THAT MY VEHICLE WAS AND IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL, BULLETIN, ETC. I BEG TO DIFFER. I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR EVERYTHING AND COPIES OF THE BULLETINS, RECALLS, ETC. BUT GM STILL REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED FOR FREE. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH THEM FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND I HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE! *LA *SC *JB INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
I AM IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING MY FORTH STEERING COLUMN REPLACED ON MY 1999 CORVETTE, MANUAL TRANSMISSION. BUT THE PROBLEM THAT I AM REPORTING IS THAT THERE WERE TWO TIMES THAT THIS CAR RAN OUT OF GAS WITH OVER 100 MILES STILL SHOWING ON THE DISTANCE TO EMPTY DISPLAY.THE LAST TIME I WAS HAVING THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN , TSB # 02-06-04-010A PERTAINING TO ERRATIC FUEL LEVEL READINGS AND HAD THE DEALER CORRECT THE PROBLEM. BOTH TIMES RUNNING OUT OF FUEL WERE AT NIGHT TIME AND THE LAST TIME I WAS STRANDED ON THE TOP OF A BRIDGE WITH MY DAUGHTER. WE WERE ALMOST HIT 4 TIMES BY CARS DRIVING BY BECAUSE THERE WAS NO PLACE TO SAFELY PULL OVER. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM BECAUSE IT LEADS YOU TO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY IN HAVING FUEL AND WHEN THE CAR STOPS RUNNING, YOU LOOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR SAFELY.*AK

STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE
I HAVE A 2000 CORVETTE AND THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED-UP WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT TURN, AND THE DISPLAY ASKS TO "SERVICE COLUMN LOCK". AFTER 7 HOURS, I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND A CHEVY DEALER THAT SAYS THEY CAN HELP. IF THAT HAD HAPPENED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE WHEN I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, AND I'VE GOTTEN NOWHERE ON GETTING THE CAR FIXED.*AK
