2002 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Steering Problems

The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while driving 5-10 MPH, the steering wheel locked-up, and the vehicle continued to drive in a circle. The steering column warning light was illuminated after the failure. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where the contact was informed that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 04V060000 (Steering), and the dealer determined that the electronic steering column lock replacement was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The contact was referred to the dealer for financial assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 51,491.

STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED AFTER PARKING IT AFTER WORK. THE RECALL ON ALL OTHER VEHICLES MY YEAR THAT HAS BEEN FIXED BY THE FACTORY HAS A WIRE RAN TO THE PCM ARE COMPUTER NOT SURE WHAT THEY ARE CALLING IT. BUT THE FIX WILL NOT LET THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK. AND I HAVE WATCHED A LOT OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON THIS IN ALL OF THE FACTORY FIXED RECALLS THE STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T LOCK. FROM WHAT I SEE IT TELLS ME THAT THE FIX IS COMPLETE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V060000 (STEERING). AFTER THE REPAIR, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING AND A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED, INDICATING TO REMOVE THE KEY AFTER TEN SECONDS. THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED BY PAPE CHEVROLET GEO (370 OAKWOOD RD, HUNTINGTON STATION, NY, (631) 427-0900), BUT WAS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROBERT CHEVROLET (236 S BROADWAY, HICKSVILLE, NY 11801, (888) 619-7642) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REMEDY FAILED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT SOLUTION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR 15 YEARS AGO SHOULD HAVE PROVIDED A PERMANENT REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA02031 (STEERING); HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL NOTICES FROM AUTO NATION CHEVROLET DORAL FLORIDA TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR RECALL GM 04006.

THEY SHOULD EITHER MAKE THE PARTS OR COME TO ANOTHER RESOLUTION . I MEANWHILE CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. HELP!!!

BACKING UP FROM A PRIVATE PARKING PLACE I ALMOST CRASHED DUE TO THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED ON ME. I TRIED TO FREE IT BUT IT WOULDN'T RELEASE. THE CAR COMPUTER INDICATED I SHOULD REMOVE KEY FOR 10 SECONDS AND REINSERT TO FREE THE LOCKED STEERING WHEEL, NO SUCCESS. HAD CAR TOWED TO THE CHEVY DEALER FOR A FIX. DEALER SAID THEIR WAS A RECALL ON THIS DEFECT BACK IN 2004. DEALER RECORDS INDICATE THAT I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR A RECALL BUT I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR. NONETHELESS, I HAVE NO RECORDS EXPLAINING WHAT WAS SPECIFICALLY DONE AT THAT TIME ON THE RECALL. THE DEALER ALSO HAS NO SPECIFIC RECORDS ON THAT RECALL. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE DEALER HERE IN PAHRUMP NV FIXED THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A COMPUTER DEFECT CAUSING THE ANTI THEFT PLATE TO LOCK THE STEERING PLATE. THEY REMOVE THE STEERING PLATE AND INSTALL A HARNESS KIT AND LOCK PLATE ELIMINATOR AND CHARGED ME $199.60 . I UNDERSTAND THAT RECALL DON'T EXPIRED, WHETHER THEY HAVEN'T BEEN PERFORMED OR IMPROPERLY REPAIRED. I OBJECT TO BEING CHARGED FOR A DEFECT THAT GMC INTERDUCE. THIS DEFECT IS DANGERIOUS. CLEARLY GMC DID NOT THINK OUT THE COMPARATIVE RISK OF A COMPUTER FAILURE CAUSING THE LOCKING PLATE TO DISENGAGE CAUSING THE CAR TO BE STOLEN; OR CAUSING THE PLATE TO LOCK WHILE DRIVING THE CAR INTO A DEADLY EVENT.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A STEERING COLUM LOCK RECALL, THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE BEFORE I TOOK IT IN. ONCE I GOT THE CAR BACK TO MY HOUSE, TWO DAYS LATER THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHILE IN GEAR AND HAS NOT UNLOCKED TO THIS DAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (WHICH WAS PENSKE CHEVROLET) AND SPOKE TO JOHN WHO TOLD ME "WELL WE ALREADY DID THE RECALL SO IT MUST'VE BEEN A PART OR SOMETHING ELSE". I WAS FURIOUS AND EXPLAINED THAT I'M NOT GOING TO PAY FOR SOME PART FOR THE SAME THING THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN FIXED. I COULD SEE IF MAYBE THEY FOUND SOME PART UNRELATABLE THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT NOT THE EXACT SAME THING THAT WAS FOR THE RECALL!! WHAT IF THE WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME WITH MY SON IN THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY OR SOMETHING? I DON'T KNOW IF THE DEALERSHIP IS JUST TRYING TO GET MONEY OUT OF CUSTOMERS LIKE THIS OR WHAT, BUT THE CAR ONLY HAS 6 MILES ON IT SINCE I TOOK IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY. SO WITHIN THAT SIX MILES IT HAS BEEN LOCKED AND HASN'T UNLOCKED. I JUST SIMPLY WANT MY CAR TO BE SAFE TO DRIVE. ANY HELP YOU GUYS COULD GIVE ME I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. THANK YOU.

JULY 19TH 2014 I PURCHASED A 2002 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 FROM AUTONATION FORD IN LITTLETON COLORADO.JULY 26TH AFTER RETURNING HOME I PARKED THE CAR IN MY GARAGE. WHEN I CAME OUT TO MOVE THE CAR LATER THAT AFTERNOON THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD NOT UNLOCK. THERE WAS A MESSAGE ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER THAT SAID "SERVICE COLUMN LOCK". I IMMEDIATELY CALLED AUTONATION CHEVROLET, SINCE THE VEHICLE IS CHEVROLET, TO SEE IF I COULD GET SOME ADVICE ON HOW TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER CHECKED WITH A TECHNICIAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WOULD NEED SERVICE. AUTONATION CHEVROLET REFERRED ME TO AUTONATION BUICK GMC. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO AUTONATION BUICK GMC ON THE MORNING OF JULY 27TH 2014. AFTER DETERMINING THAT THEIR DEALERSHIP WAS INCAPABLE OF DOING THE REPAIR AUTONATION BUICK GMC HAD THE CAR TOWED TO ED BOZARTH CHEVROLET PARK MEADOWS FOR REPAIR. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE & FOUND OUT THAT THE "SERVICE COLUMN LOCK" ISSUE WAS A RECALL ISSUE IN 2004 FOR CORVETTES. THE "SERVICE COLUMN LOCK ISSUE ALSO EFFECTS THE FUEL SYSTEM AND LIMITS THE CAR TO 2 MPH. FIRST NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL WENT OUT TO OWNERS ON AUGUST 2ND 2004. I CONTACTED GM ON AUG. 1ST 2014, 1 DAY SHORT OF THE 10 YEAR LIMIT ON RECALL WORK. ED BOZARTH INFORMED ME THAT THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I THEN CONTACTED GM CORPORATE TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECALL. GM CORPORATE INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL WORK HAD BEEN DONE ON MY CORVETTE IN 2006. SINCE THE SAME "SERVICE COLUMN LOCK" ISSUE AROSE, THE RECALL WORK FAILED. I ASKED GM CORPORATE IF THEY WOULD COVER THE FAILED RECALL REPAIR AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULDN'T. I WOULD ASK THAT SINCE GM'S RECALL WORK DID NOT SOLVE THE "SERVICE COLUMN LOCK" ISSUE THAT THEY COVER THE APPROXIMATELY $1500 REPAIR THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR TO GET MY CAR BACK IN A DRIVABLE STATE. *TR

THE "ACTIVE HANDLING" ANNUNCIATOR WARNING OCCURS SPORADICALLY DURING DRIVING AT 60 - 65 MPH. WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURS, THE CAR SWERVES RIGHT OR LEFT AND YAWS CAUSING SOME LOSS OF CONTROL. THE CONTROL LOSS VARIES PER EACH OCCURRENCE, SOME BEING MORE VIOLENT THAN OTHERS. I HAVE HAD A GM TRAINED TECHNICIAN TROUBLESHOOT THE CAR WITH A SCAN TOOL AND THE RESULT WAS A "STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR" (SWPS) FAILURE INDICATION ON THE SCAN TOOL. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND THE SCAN TOOL CONNECTED, THE INDICATION OF STEERING WHEEL ANGLE WAS ZERO IRRESPECTIVE OF ACTUAL STEERING WHEEL POSITION. REGARDLESS OF ACTUAL STEERING WHEEL POSITION THE INDICATOR SHOWED ZERO. I HAVE RESEARCHED YOUR WEBSITE AND HAVE FOUND VARIOUS SERVICE BULLETINS REFLECTING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY HAZARD WITH RESPECT TO THIS CAR. IT IS ALSO CLEAR THAT THE FAULT IS EITHER AN ENGINEERING OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT AS THERE IS NOTHING THAT A DRIVER COULD DO OR INPUT TO CAUSE THIS FAULT. I AM ALSO AWARE OF GM'S CURRENT PUBLICITY REGARDING THEIR COVERING UP OF SAFETY CONDITIONS IN THEIR VEHICLES WITH RESPECT TO IGNITION SYSTEMS AND WOULD LIKE THIS PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED AND REPAIRED AND NOT COVERED UP. REPEAT, THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFELY HAZARD AND GM SHOULD REPAIR THIS DEFECT. IT IS ALSO CLEAR THAT GM HAS BEEN PUT ON NOTICE OF THIS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

ON JUNE 10, 2010, MY 2002 CORVETTE, 'MANUAL" TRANSMISSIONS," WAS AT BRANDON AUTO IN ROANOKE VA., WHERE THEY WERE REPLACING THE ORIGINAL TIRES WITH 4 NEWS TIRES. THE CAR HAS JUST OVER 29,100 MILES. BRANDON STATED THAT WHEN THEY ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE, A WARNING LIGHT APPEARED STATING, "SERVICE STEERING COLUMN." THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF, AND COULD NOT BE DRIVING. IT WAS TOWED BY AAA TO PINKERTON CHEVROLET IN SALEM, VA. PINKERTON WAS THE GM DEALERSHIP THAT IN OCT OF 2006 CORRECTED THE "STEERING COLUMN LOCKING DEVICE" UNDER THE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA02031AND GM RECALL NO. 04006. ON JUNE 16TH PINKERTON DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK, AND I WAS BILLED $624.80. WHEN I QUESTIONED THEM ABOUT THE ABOVE RECALL/DEFECT OF THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK, THE PINKERTON SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I PICKED THE CAR UP ON THE 16TH AFTER PAYING THEM IN FULL. THAT SAME DAY I CALLED GM'S CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILED A COMPLAINT, #71-839793121. ON JUNE18TH I WAS INFORMED BY GM CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT "GM" WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING COLUMN RECALL/DEFECTS. WHEN I ASKED FOR A SUPERVISOR, THEY PUT ME ON "HOLD" FOR OVER 30 MINUTES AND THEN "HUNG UP" ON ME. HAD I BEEN DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THE STEERING COLUMN DEFECT OCCURRED, IT COULD HAVE CAUSE A CRASH RESULTING IN POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURIES AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. I WOULD APPRECIATE "NHTSA ODI" INVESTIGATION OF THIS SERIOUS VEHICLE DEFECT. ALSO, GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE: A). FOR NOTIFYING ALL CORVETTES OWNERS OF THIS CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK; B). RECALLING ALL VEHICLES AND EFFECTING CORRECTIVE REPAIRS AT "NO COST" TO THE OWNERS; C). AND ENSURE THE CORVETTE OWNERS THAT GM'S CORRECTIVE ACTION 'IS A PERMANENT FIX TO THE PROBLEM." *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WHENEVER THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED THE VEHICLE BEGAN PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND THE BRAKES RESPONDED AS IF SHE WERE DRIVING ON ICE. SHE HAD THE OPTION TO CANCEL THE SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM OR TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT SO THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD FUNCTION NORMALLY. OCCASIONALLY ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD ILLUMINATE WHICH CAUSED THE ACTIVE HANDLING LIGHT TO MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE WAS IDENTICAL TO RECALL 10V172000, STEERING COLUMN WHICH WAS SPECIFIC TO THE 2005 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. IN AUGUST 2009, A CUSTOMER SERVICE ENGINEER STATED THAT IT MUST BE AN ANOMALY OR A BAD SENSOR THAT CAUSED THE FAILURE TO OCCUR.

STEERING COLUMN LOCKUP ON 2002 CORVETTE WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. SCENARIO IS AS FOLLOWS: WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THE STEERING COLUMN DOES NOT RELEASE THE STEERING WHEEL.

WHEN IT OCCURS THE ONLY COURSE OF ACTION IS TO CALL A TOW SERVICE AND GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. GM STATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS FINE. THE EVENT DOES NOT LOG AN ERROR CODE SO WHEN THEY PLUG THEIR COMPUTER INTO THE CAR THEY FIND NO PROBLEMS. ITS SEEMS OVER TIME THE STEERING COLUMN WILL RELEASE WHEN RESTARTED. I HAD WAITED 30 MINUTES ON ONE OCCASION AND THE COLUMN RELEASED. FOR TODAY'S INCIDENT, AFTER FOUR HOURS THE COLUMN WOULD NOT RELEASE. MANY CORVETTE OWNERS HAVE OPTED TO DISABLE THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK "FEATURE" WITH AN AFTERMARKET DEVICE. I WILL BE DOING THE SAME SHORTLY. *JB

REGARDING A 2002 C5 CORVETTE. STEERING RANDOMLY LOCKS UP. THE CAR CAN ONLY BE TOWED THEN FIXED BY A DEALER. THIS CAN EVEN HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. ANY CORVETTE ONLY FROM THE YEAR 97 TO PRESENT CAN BE AFFECTED. GM KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM AND WILL HAPPEN TO ALMOST EVERY VETTE OWNER. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND GM IS NOT TO DOING THERE JOB TO FIX THIS PROBLEM EVEN AFTER 8 YEAR FROM THE ORIGINAL DATE TO WHICH THIS FIRST OCCURRED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *NM

WENT TO DRIVE CAR AND DIC INFORMED ME THAT THE SERVICE COLUMN WAS LOCKED. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP REPLACED PART #26089807 (COLUMN LOCK ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY) TO THE COST OF $425. ACCORDING TO THEM (NEWSOME AUTOMOTIVE, FLORENCE S.C.) THIS PART # WAS NOT ONE IN THE APRIL 04 RECAL. I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE.

WHILE PULLING INSIDE OF THE GARAGE AND WITHOUT WARNING THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. THE CONSUMER TRIED TO UNLOCK, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB *TC

I HAD THE SAME COLUMN-LOCK ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED ON THE C5 CORVETTE. I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2002 MANUAL-TRANSMISSION VETTE AND HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED. I HAD HAD NO PREVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKING. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY CHECKED THE COLUMN-LOCK MECHANISM AND THEN REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. HOWEVER, SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, MY STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UPON STARTUP.*AK
