#728986August 25, 2000
STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT UNLOCK, SINCE THIS VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION I PUT IT IN GEAR AND STARTED TO BACK AWAY FROM THE GARAGE WHEN I WENT TO TURN SO AS NOT TO HIT A WALL THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED. IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GO INTO A GEAR IF THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE STEERED. REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
IM STARTED MY CAR, PUT IT IN DRIVE AND DROVE OFF. I NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED. THE ENGINE DIED ALMOST RIGHT AWAY. I WAS GOING ABOUT 3 MPH. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO FREE THE STEERING. NOTHING WORKED. I HAD TO BACK MY CAR OUT OF THE STREET WITH NO STEERING. THE NEXT MORNING THE STEERING STARTED WORKING AGAIN. AFTER TALKING TO SOME CORVETTE CLUB MEMBER, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON TO HAPPEN ON LATE MODEL CORVETTES. REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

#726767August 5, 2000
STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
I GOT IN THE CAR AND WHEN I TURNED THE KEY IT SAID "REMOVE KEY, WAIT TEN SECONDS". I DID THIS AND WHEN I PUT THE KEY BACK IN AND STARTED IT UP THE NEXT MESSAGE SAID "STEERING COLUMN LOCK". THE STEERING COLUMN IS NOW LOCKED AND WHEN I START THE CAR IT WILL NOT RELEASE. THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE ON CORVETTE WEB PAGES I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH C5 CORVETTES. IT'S A WEEKEND AND I CAN'T USE THE CAR BECAUSE THE WHEEL IS LOCKED. NOT EXACTLY WHY I BOUGHT THE CAR!!*AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

#726549August 3, 2000
STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
STARTED CAR, GIVEN CODE TO TURN OFF, REMOVE KEY & WAIT 10 SECONDS. DID THIS THEN STARTED CAR AGAIN & RECEIVED CODE THAT THE STEERING COLLUM LOCKED. TRIED RE-INSERTING KEY, TRIED MOVING WHEEL SLIGHTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND THEN DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. STARTED CAR & WHEEL STILL LOCKED, PUT CAR IN REVERSE & MOVED 3 FEET, CAR DIED, RESTARTED CAR AND ALL WAS WELL. CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 250 SUBSEQUENT TO THIS INCIDENT. I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS PROBLEM HAPPENING TO OTHER 97-2000 CORVETTE OWNERS. LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND GM DO NOT APPEAR TO BE OVERLY CONCERNED AS THE CAR IS PRESENTLY FUNCTIONAL. I DID NOTIFY GM'S CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 800-222-1020 AND SPOKE TO FRANK. *AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS
