POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION MAKES "MARBLES IN A CAN" TYPE NOISES. THE TRANSAXLE WAS REPLACED AT 465 MILES FOR EXCESSIVE NOISE. THE NOISE IS BACK, I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK INTO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR FOR THIS AND THE DEALER NOW SAYS IT IS NORMAL AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE ELEVATED THIS TO CHEVROLET CORVETTE OWNER ASSISTANCE BUT WITH NO RESOLUTION.*AK

STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE
STEERING COLUMN LOCK FAILURE. (3RD EVENT) TODAY, MY STEERING COLUMN LOCK FAILED FOR THE THIRD TIME IN LAKE CITY FLORIDA.
