SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT WEBBINGS OFTEN FOLD OVER WHILE RETRACTING. ONCE THE FOLDED WEBBING IS PULLED INTO RETRACTOR THE RETRACTOR JAMS. FURTHER USE OF SEATBELT IS IMPOSSIBLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL. THE ENTIRE MOLDING MUST BE DISASSEMBLED EACH TIME TO GET THE BELT TO RELEASE AND BE USABLE AGAIN. THIS REQUIRES TOOLS AND .5 HOURS OF TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NO LESS THAN 20 TIMES IN A 2 MONTH PERIOD. WHEN PICKING MY DAUGHTER UP FROM SCHOOL THE RETRACTOR OFTEN JAMS FORCING HER TO NOT WEAR A SAFETY BELT. DEALER HAS BEEN NO HELP. GM HAS BEEN NO HELP. I HAVE A $38000 CAR THAT IS BOTH DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL TO DRIVE. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP, THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURENCE ON ALL 1997 AND UP CORVETTES AND GM KNOWS ABOUT IT. NHTSA DATABASE LISTS CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 00V111000 FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT GM JUST BLOWS ME OFF AND TELLS ME THERE IS NO FIX AND NO RECALL. *AK

STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE VEHICLE WAS MOVING IN REVERSE AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM THAT HAS PLAGUED THE C5 CORVETTE FOR YEARS. THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF THE STEERING LOCKING UP WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PROCEEDING AT SPEED DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ME AND POSSIBLY OTHERS. PLEASE ACT RESPONSIBLY AND FORCE THE RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE BEFORE SOMONE IS KILLED. *AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS
