| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2000 corvette i received a gm recall notice to take the corvette to a qualified dealer and have the recall work done. i had not had any trouble with the car up to that point. after the recall work on the steering column lock was done, i have had nothing but trouble. the digital information center will read, "service column lock", and although the car starts and runs, it will not go faster than 5 mph and the fuel pump shuts off. this defect has left me stranded four times. the first time it appeared, i took the car to tri-county chevrolet, who indicated that mark heitz chevrolet (who had done the re-call work) had not properly performed the recall. within two weeks of tri-county's work, the car is again having the same steering column lock trouble. this is really strange, since the steering column isn't locked. this is aggravating; this car had a $ 47,514. sticker price and can't be depended on. what's really maddening, i never had a bit of trouble out of the car until the recall work was done on it. the corvette is now sitting on a trailer and on it's way to tri-county. *jb |
