Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: In short, i experienced the "steering column lock" error that is now recalled on certain chevy corvette. i had this repaired at my cost. my 1998 chevy corvette vin [xxx] fell within gm's vin on the technical service bulletin 01-02-35-008, but my repairs were not performed for free, as stated in the bulletin. i have contacted gm several times only to be told that i am not eligible for reimbursement. they claim that my vehicle was and is not part of any recall, bulletin, etc. i beg to differ. i have receipts for everything and copies of the bulletins, recalls, etc. but gm still refuses to acknowledge that my car should have been repaired for free. i have been fighting with them for over a year now and i have gotten nowhere! *la *sc *jb information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
