Complaint Summary
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Owner Narrative
Chevy / GM recalled over 100,000 Corvettes built between 1997 and 2004 for a steering column lock issue, that renders the car un drivable. The fuel supply cuts off at 2 miles per hour. Many of the dealers did a faulty job fixing the problem, causing it to recur. My 2001 Corvette (with less than 17,000 miles) repeatedly experiences this problem. GM says they will not warrant this known defective design, due to the recall expiring. According to an internet search on âCorvette Steering Column Lockâ, there no telling how many unhappy Corvette owners this has created. Need your help getting this $50,000 car back on the road.
