Anti-theft Devices Problems of Chevrolet Corvette

I am writing today to express my disappointment in gm and Chevrolet for not standing behind a recall on my 2000 c5 Corvette. In 2004 there was a recall, NHTSA campaign id # 04v060000 - NHTSA action # ea02031 component: steering column locking:anti-theft device (see copy of campaign attached). I purchased the vehicle in Dec. 2015 from a museum so this car was idle only being driven once a month to keep it in good working order. I went to start up the car the other day and received the error message on the dic (see picture attached)mention in the recall mentioned above and when I went to put the car in gear the car stalled and I was not able to drive it. The fuel was cut to the engine which was fault that generated the recall in the first place. I immediately call a certified Chevrolet dealership in staten island NY and was told that the car was involved with the recall and repaired in 2004. He continued to tell me that I would be responsible for the repair of whatever they would find wrong as the recall was a one shot no charge repair. I feel that the repairs made at the time of the recall obviously was not done correctly and being that the car was sitting idle for so long, the problem did not come out until the car was being driven more often than in the past, the current mileage is only 32,000 miles very low for a 2000 year vehicle. As this is a potentially dangerous problem I feel this should be taken care of by gm again at no cost because as I said obviously it was not done right the first time. When I called gm they would take absolutely no responsibility for the problem.

Tried to start vehicle, but 'security' light came on & engine would not turn over. Researched issue online & found that this is due to a known ignition lock cylinder problem. The wires leading to the ignition lock cylinder break, and will not allow the anti-theft system to properly read the security code from the key.
