Steering Column problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Corvette

The steering column lock is on and car shuts off when driving, car was in drive leaving driveway. Seems a recall was issued on these vehicles, my car being a 05 does not seem the VIN was captured for this issue.

My question is; I own a 2005 Corvette c6 and have been having problems with my steering column which is the tilt and telescoping. Such as not being able to start it. I am lucky that my brakes haven't locked up on me yet. During my research I found that you had began a safety recall on April 30, 2010, NHTSA 10v172000, regarding the tilt and telescoping steering wheel on my year and model of vehicle. I contacted my Chevrolet dealership yesterday about this and scheduling to have them put in the bypass to column lock. I mentioned the safety recall and he told me that there was only one recall on my vehicle, lights. Why isn't my car approved for the safety recall of 2010, when she meets all of the criteria?.

Tried to start my Corvette which is stored in the garage and dash screen stated "service column lock" and vehicle will not start. After researching online I found this is a known issue for 2005 manual transmission Corvettes and lots of people are having the same problem. Called gm to see if my VIN would be covered since this is a known issue with a faulty part, and was told it was not. Gm should do the right thing for their customers and recall this known problem to fix or reimburse those who have already paid for this very inconvenient and dangerous issue.
