Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Steering column locked up for the 3rd time since i've had the car (5 mos). on two ocassions it eventually released on its own. the gm recall bulletin 04006c, electronic column lock, was refused by bobby murray chevrolet in raleigh, nc, unless i agreed to pay $90/hr for diagnostics. they state i have already had a recall performed (an older recall, not 04006c according to the vis service date), so there's nothing they can do without payment. i contacted gm and they disagree with the dealership's assesment, and to this date have not responded to gm's inquiries.it appears to me to be all about the money and that they could care less about the safety issues involved. according to nhtsa and gm, the vehicle should not have been released back to me without the recall performed. at no cost!
