Complaint Summary
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Owner Narrative
IN 2005 MY STEERING COLUMN LOCKED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN ALEXANDRIA VA. THEY UNLOCKED THE STEERING COLUMN BUT DID NOT REPLACE THE NECESSARY PARTS. NOW THE COMPUTER READS THAT THE STEERING COLUMN IS GOING TO LOCK AND THE FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF. WHEN THE CAR WAS INSPECTED BY WYNNGARDNER CHEVROLET THEY INFORMED ME THEN WARRANTY HAD BEEN SATISFIED. IF THE DEFECTED PARTS WERE REPLACED THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THEN SAID PARTS WERE REPLACED INITIALLY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND SAID PARTS ARE NOT THERE. THE DEALERSHIP USED THE VIN NUMBER IN 2005, NOW WHEN THE VIN NUMBER IS USED, IT SHOWS THAT THE RECALL WAS SATISFIED. THIS IS NOT THE CASE.
