In short, I experienced the "steering column lock" error that is now recalled on certain Chevy Corvette. I had this repaired at my cost. My 1998 Chevy Corvette VIN [xxx] fell within GM's VIN on the technical service bulletin 01-02-35-008, but my repairs were not performed for free, as stated in the bulletin. I have contacted GM several times only to be told that I am not eligible for reimbursement. They claim that my vehicle was and is not part of any recall, bulletin, etc. I beg to differ. I have receipts for everything and copies of the bulletins, recalls, etc. But GM still refuses to acknowledge that my car should have been repaired for free. I have been fighting with them for over a year now and I have gotten nowhere! information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
