| Tl- the contact owns a 2004 chevrolet corvette. while driving approximately 30 mph, the contact noticed that the service active handling system warning light illuminated and the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the technician stated that the yaw rate sensor in the center console would have to be replaced. the contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number: 10v172000 (steering:column), but was advised by the manufacturer that the vin was not included in the recall and the recall only included 2005-2006 model years. the contact believed that the failure was related to the recall. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 13,900. kmj | |||

| 1) i received a recall notice from chevrolet recall information processing center on may 13, 2004. the recall is # 04006 - electronic column lock system. this recall was started on feb. 9, 2004 according to your site. 2) i purchase the 2004 chevrolet corvette coup on september 9, 2004. i question chevrolet's commitment to safety. issueing a recall in feb. of 2004 and not bothering to repair the defect well the car was in their total control for 8 months, then selling me the car knowing full well the defect had not be fix, then waiting another 9 months to notify me. i contaced the dealer on may 16, 2005, to see if the car had the recall defect repaired. it had not. so chevrolet has waited a total of 17 months. not exactly a consumer advocate for safety to the driving public. 3)according to the dealer, this work can only be done during the week, not a weekend. so now, i have to miss a day of work for a problem that should have been taken care of before i even purchased the car. now i know why chevrolet always sends out a satifsfaction questionaire 30 days after purchase, because they know most of their vehicles should last that long. i'm sure i will not get one after a year has pasted. | |||
