STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE
UPON STARTING CAR, THE STEERING COLUMN REMAINED LOCKED, SO THAT I COULD ONLY DRIVE IN A CIRCLE. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AND A DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A "STEERING KIT" TO REPAIR THE DEFECT AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $300.00. CHEVROLET ADVISES THAT MY VEHICLE'S IDENTIFICATION NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED UNDER THE RECENT RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT. (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V06000)(GM RECALL NO. 04006)
