Two problems related to equipment have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet Corvette. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 1999 Chevrolet Corvette has been into a dealer 8 times for the same "column lock" security message which shuts down the fuel line and immobilizes the vehicle. There have been 3 general motors recalls and none have fixed the problem. This shut down can cause the vehicle to shut down at any moment in time potentially causing a fatal accident for me, my family, or someone else. The problem begins with a message "pull key wait ten seconds". After this occurs a few times the "column lock" message comes on and the vehicle shuts down right on the spot. All 7 of the 8 visits have resulted in "band aid" fixes. Gm has not fixed the problem. If you look on line you will see some temporary fixes and identify that this is a major issue with this type of vehicle. Gm has apparently "written off" this problem which dates back to the first recall in 1999. This action can occur when the vehicle is stationary or when you attempt to move the vehicle when you release the clutch. Immediately upon releasing the clutch the engine shuts off because the fuel line is shut down. It happens when the vehicle is first started as well. Personally I have incurred two towing expenses. My current Chevrolet dealer has been extremely understanding and not charged me for "band aid" fix. However, the last time he indicated that there will no more "goodwill" fixes. My concern is a fatal accident if the vehicle was to stop on the highway or while making a turn or on a highway. Please help us owners by demanding that gm fix this problem. It appears to be another "ignition" cover up over the years. I do not want anyone in my family or other person to die because of gms negligence.
