Does anyone know what to do to correct a problem with a readout of "Service Column Lock". The car will only go a foot or so before shutting off.
The vette shop had supposedly gotten a part from a dealer for a similar recall and fixed that but they don't know what this is. They said since the steering wheel turns fine it is not the recalled problem. The one who answered the phone was just leaving & suggested I call Grossinger Chevy here & get some code looked up in a book to put in with the remote & reset the computer so I could be on my way.
When I called they claimed not to know what they meant about a locking remote code and said I had to tow & have a service appointment. They also indicated that THEY did the recall fix & that the vette shop just brought it in to them. I didn't want any dealer touching it because I know what they can do to cause other problems. The owner of the vette shop, Doug, won't be in town for awhile for me to address the situation with him directly.
Any ideas to avoid a tow and more problems?
