| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The present safety recall of late model corvettes to rectifiy a potentially catastrophic steering lock while travelling does not eliminate the safety risk in vehicles equipped with manual transmissions. gm's solution for manual transmission vehicles is to shut off gas to the engine instead of removing the column lock plate (as in the recall for the automatics). the steering on cars equipped with manual transmissions can still lock up while travelling at high speed - even after the gm recall fix. please address this issue - this is still a potentially serious condition that should have been resolved by the recall.*ak |
