DT: NO PROBLEMS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE, AND THEN WHILE BACKING CAR OUT OF GARAGE, STEERING COLUMN LOCKED, REMOVED KEY, WAITED 10 SECONDS AS SHOWN ON DASHBOARD AND THE VEHICLE STARTED. WENT FOR A FEW FEET AND THE FUEL LINE SHUT CAR OFF. HAD TO PUSH CAR INTO THE GARAGE AND THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY REPLACED THE LOCKING PARTS, RACK/ SECTOR/ LOCK BOLT THAT LOCKED THE STEERING COLUMN, WHICH HAD BEEN RECALLED 04V06000 IN 2004. THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE A DEDUCTIBLE BECAUSE THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE, BUT GM AUTHORIZED THE REPAIR WITH NO DEDUCTIBLE CHARGED. *AK *NM

STEERING COLUMN LOCKUP ON 2002 CORVETTE WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. SCENARIO IS AS FOLLOWS: WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THE STEERING COLUMN DOES NOT RELEASE THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING WHEEL REMAINS LOCKED IN POSITION. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS IF IT OCCURS AT STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT AFTER THE DRIVER HAS ACCIDENTALLY KILLED THE VEHICLE AND NEEDS TO RESTART. WHEN IT OCCURS THE ONLY COURSE OF ACTION IS TO CALL A TOW SERVICE AND GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. GM STATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS FINE. THE EVENT DOES NOT LOG AN ERROR CODE SO WHEN THEY PLUG THEIR COMPUTER INTO THE CAR THEY FIND NO PROBLEMS. ITS SEEMS OVER TIME THE STEERING COLUMN WILL RELEASE WHEN RESTARTED. I HAD WAITED 30 MINUTES ON ONE OCCASION AND THE COLUMN RELEASED. FOR TODAY'S INCIDENT, AFTER FOUR HOURS THE COLUMN WOULD NOT RELEASE. MANY CORVETTE OWNERS HAVE OPTED TO DISABLE THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK "FEATURE" WITH AN AFTERMARKET DEVICE. I WILL BE DOING THE SAME SHORTLY. *JB

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS. THE STEERING COLUMN SYSTEM LOCKED UP 3 TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE THE TRACTION MASTER, AND ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM SEVERAL TIMES. THIS FAILURE HAS RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE'S A RECALL FOR THE ELECTRONIC COLUMN LOCK 04V06000 BUT THE VIN NUMBER ISN'T INCLUDED. CHARGED SYSTEM ONCE. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY SETTING IN MY GARAGE WITH ALL FOUR OF THE ABOVE LISTED PROBLEMS. *AK
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC COLUMN LOCK SYSTEMS (ECL), WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED TO "LOCK," THE ECL SYSTEM PREVENTS TURNING OF THE STEERING SYSTEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE ECL UNLOCKS THE STEERING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED SO THAT IF THE COLUMN FAILS TO UNLOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND THE CUSTOMER TRIES TO DRIVE, THE FUEL SUPPLY WILL BE SHUT OFF SO THAT THE VEHICLE CANNOT MOVE WHEN THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE STEERED. IF VOLTAGE AT THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE IS LOW OR INTERRUPTED, HOWEVER, THE FUEL SHUT OFF MAY NOT OCCUR AND THE VEHICLE CAN BE ACCELERATED WHILE THE STEERING SYSTEM IS LOCKED. ALSO WHEN THE CONTROL SYSTEM SHOWS THAT THE ECL IS UNLOCKED AND THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, THE LOCK PIN LOCATION CAN VARY. DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION OF THE LOCK PLATE RELATIVE TO THE SWITCH TRANSITION POINT, THERE COULD THEN BE CONTACT BETWEEN THE LOCK PLATE AND PIN CAUSING THE STEERING TO LOCK WHILE DRIVING .
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURS, A CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING.
Remedy: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE DEALER WILL DISABLE THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK BY REMOVING THE COLUMN LOCK PLATE. WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS REMOVED, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WILL LOCK BUT THE STEERING COLUMN WILL NOT LOCK. ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THE DEALER WILL REPROGRAM THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE, PERFORM A DIMENSIONAL CHECK OF THE COLUMN LOCK AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE LOCK PLATE. THE STEERING COLUMN ON THESE VEHICLES WILL CONTINUE TO LOCK WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED. OWNER NOTIFICATION TO OWNERS OF 1997 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS BEGAN ON APRIL 26, 2004. OWNERS OF 1998 THROUGH 2004 VEHICLES (EXCEPT 1997-1998 MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES) WILL BE NOTIFIED BEGINNING ON AUGUST 2, 2004. THE REMAINING OWNERS (1997-1998 MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES) WILL BE NOTIFIED LATER IN 2004, WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438.
