"SERVICE COLUMN LOCK" - CAR STARTS AND RUNS BUT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN ONCE THE CLUTCH IS REALEASED. CAR HAS 8,374 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN TO CHEVROLET FOR THIS PROBLEM 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 600 MILES. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED EXCEPT FOR THE LAST TIME WHERE THE SERVICE TECH COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT THEY DID FOR THE CAR BUT STATED "IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING NOW". THAT WAS 200 MILES AGO - NOW BACK AT CHEVROLET. *AK

STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE
1997 CORVETTE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP PERIODICALLY. PREVIOUSLY HAD BEEN ABLE TO RELEASE IT. LAST WEEK IT OCCURRED WHIL CAR WAS MOVING. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED AND REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE REP REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM IN 1997 MODEL YEAR, JUST LATER (SUPPOSEDLY A RECALL EXISTS). SHE SAID THAT I "SHOULD KEEP MY RECEIPT" IN CASE GM DECIDES TO RECOGNIZE IT AS A PROBLEM. I'M OUT $550 AND WORRIED THAT THEIR DENYING THE PROBLEM IN 1997S IS GOING TO COST LIVES. MY BUSINESS PARTNER ALSO HAS A '97 AND HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK

CONSUMER CALLED COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP. ALSO, THERE IS A RECALL WHERE THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN EVEN THOUGH HIS VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAMETHING.*AK CONSUMER WAS BACKING OUT OF GARAGE AND HAD MOVED ABOUT 6-8 FT WHEN HE TRIED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND COULD NOT. COSNUMER PULLED CAR BACK INTO GARAGE AND SHUT OFF CAR. RESTARTED CAR ABOUT 10 TIMES TO TRY TO GET THE STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKED, BUT IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK. SINCE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY CSC 1044A, CUSTOMER HAD TSB REPAIR PERFORMED ON VEHICLE, BUT HAD TO PAY FOR IT HIMSELF.
