general problems of the 2002 Chevrolet Corvette

The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while driving 5-10 mph, the steering wheel locked up. The vehicle continued to drive in a circle. The steering column warning light was illuminated after the failure. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where the contact was informed that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 04v060000(steering), and the dealer diagnosed determined that the electronic steering column lock replacement was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and a case was filed. The contact was referred to the dealer for financial assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 51,491.

Steering wheel is locked after parking it after work. The recall on all other vehicles my year that has been fixed by the factory has a wire ran to the pcm are computer not sure what they are calling it. But the fix will not let the steering wheel lock. And I have watched a lot of youtube videos on this in all of the factory fixed recalls the steering wheel doesn't lock. From what I see it tells me that the fix is complete. It is a 2002 with only 68000 miles. Any help please?.

I have received several notices from auto nation Chevrolet doral florida to bring my car in for recall gm 04006. When I took my car to them for the recall, I was told "the parts required for the recall are no longer made". I just received another notice from them. They should either make the parts or come to another resolution . I meanwhile can't drive the car because the steering wheel locks up. Help!!!.

I took my car in for a steering colum lock recall, the car was running fine before I took it in. Once I got the car back to my house, two days later the steering wheel locked while in gear and has not unlocked to this day. I called the dealership (which was penske Chevrolet) and spoke to john who told me "well we already did the recall so it must've been a part or something else". I was furious and explained that I'm not going to pay for some part for the same thing that should've been fixed. I could see if maybe they found some part unrelatable that needed to be replaced, but not the exact same thing that was for the recall!! what if the wheel locked up on me with my son in the car on the freeway or something? I don't know if the dealership is just trying to get money out of customers like this or what, but the car only has 6 miles on it since I took it home from the dealership that day. So within that six miles it has been locked and hasn't unlocked. I just simply want my car to be safe to drive. Any help you guys could give me I would greatly appreciate it. I don't know what else to do. Thank you.

Warning light occurred once I tried what was said, remove key & wait 10 seconds, did this numerous times to no avail. Tried to move car once it hit 1 mile per car stalls. Upon reading manual says if doesn't unlock gas flow is shut off & stalls. Checked the VIN # against the recall list & my car not listed.

The "active handling" annunciator warning occurs sporadically during driving at 60 - 65 mph. When this condition occurs, the car swerves right or left and yaws causing some loss of control. The contol loss varies per each occurrence, some being more violent than others. I have had a gm trained technician troubleshoot the car with a scan tool and the result was a "steering wheel position sensor" (swps) failure indication on the scan tool. With the engine running and the scan tool connected, the indication of steering wheel angle was zero irrespective of actual steering wheel position. Regardless of actual steering wheel position the indicator showed zero. I have researched your website and have found various service bulletins reflecting this problem. This is a clear safety hazard with respect to this car. It is also clear that the fault is either an engineering or manufacturing defect as there is nothing that a driver could do or input to cause this fault. I am also aware of gm's current publicity regarding their covering up of safety conditions in their vehicles with respect to ignition systems and would like this problem to be addressed and repaired and not covered up. Repeat, this is a definite safely hazard and gm should repair this defect. It is also clear that gm has been put on notice of this safety hazard.
