| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Steering column locked up. if you go to http://www.corvetteforum.com & do a search for column lock you will see this is a widespread problem. a lot of people on this forum have removed the lock & installed a column lock bypass instead of pressing the issue with gm. to me gm does not have a proper & correct fix for it as they have removed the locking mechanism on the cars with automatic transmissions but due to federal law can not remove it from the manual transmission. gm just put their hands up & gave up as it shows they have no answer otherwise they would not have removed the lock from the automatic cars. i have heard it locks up while moving & that is on the back of my mind while driving, very dangerous. please get gm to correct this unsafe condition & if they tell you they have a fix ask them why they removed the lock from the automatic cars. dt |
