5 Power Steering Light On problem of the 2000 Chevrolet Corvette

Failure Date: 09/17/2014

These c5 Corvettes had a gm recall for the steering column locking up on it. I had the recall done. My car still has a steering column issue with it. The service steering column warning lights still come on intermittently and when they do, the car disables itself and will not go over 2 mph and shuts the fuel pump off. I installed another temp fix called an lmc5 for it. I still get the pull key wait 10 seconds warning lights and service steering column. Gm did a temp fix and never fixed it. When driving the car it will shut itself off because of the steering column warning. The 97-2004 need many recalls not just this one. I am filling out another incident report on it after this one.
