Service Column Lock

[yellow_2002_germany]

I received the "Service Column Lock" message just today. Luckily for me, the lock is in the disengaged position so I can still drive my car.

However, I checked codes and there were none. Shouldn't there at least be a code in the BCM about the column lock being broken?

BTW: It goes to the dealer on Monday.

Germany,

Please post the mechanic's findings and exactly what they repaired.

I went to the dealer today. Good news-bad news situation. Good news: he has column lock kits in stock and will replace mine. Bad news: the corvette mechanic is on vacation for the next two weeks. I take my car in on 18 Aug for the repair.

I'll have more for you then.

Its BACK!

Doesnt this sound familiar. I was washing and waxing my car (AGAIN!) when it looked as though it was soon going to rain. I got in my car and turned the key. The steering column locked and i thought S**T! I called my dealer the same dealer that fixed it last time and told them that the same thing was happening. They are sending their flatbed over tommorow morning at 8:30 to pick it up they said i should have it back tommorow. SO im without a car. My 66 had an accident:cry!

My car is at the dealship now. It was stuck in a parking ramp for 2 days before roadside assistance sent the right truck out.

They are replacing the same part that they replaced under the recall, but they want to charge me $371. The recall work was completed before I bought the car. I've called GM and I am getting the complete run around! Argh.

I got my car serviced under warranty today for the column lock. I was told a wire was broken on it. It works like a champ now. Hopefully, it won't break on me again.
