I HAVE OWNED MY 1998 CORVETTE FOR TWO YEARS. THE PULL KEY AND WAIT 10 SECONDS AND THE SERVICE STEERING COLUMN LOCK ERRORS ARE CRIPPLING ME ENJOYMENT OF THE CAR. I HAVE INSTALLED AN LMC5 MODULE LAST YEAR AND THE PROBLEMS WILL NOT GO AWAY. THE RECALL ON THE SERVICE COLUMN LOCK WAS PERFORMED ON THE CAR WHICH REMOVED THE ACTUAL LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE STEERING COLUMN. BUT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE OVER TWO MILES PER HOUR WITH THE ERROR MESSAGE AND I HAVE FOUND NO FIXED THAT HELP ME. WHAT IS GM DOING ABOUT THE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PROBLEM ON THEIR MOST DISTINGUISHED CAR MODEL.... ? ALL INSTANCES HAPPEN WHEN FIRST STARITING THE CAR NO MATTER HOW LONG IT HAS SAT. BATTERY IS PERFECT. I VERY RARELY DIVE THE CAR, BUT WHEN I DO I HAVE THIS HORRIBLE PROBLEM AND IT IS GETTING WORSE.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE FAILS WITHOUT WARNING.

SPOKE WITH CHEVY DEALER MECHANICS AND AM TOLD THIS IS VERY COMMON ON 1997-2000 CORVETTES.....HE SAYS THEY DO THE REPAIR ON A REGULAR BASIS. I HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS. REPAIR COST WAS $345.00 INCLUDING THE PARTS.

THE MODULE CONTROLLING THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM WAS POORLY DESIGNED BY GENERAL MOTORS AND TURNS OFF THE SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING. GENERAL MOTORS NO LONGER SUPPORTS THIS MODULE AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A REPLACEMENT. WHEN THE SYSTEM SHUTS OFF A DANGEROUS SITUATION IS CREATED, THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE DIGITAL READOUTS REPEAT "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" AND "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING". THIS SITUATION HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION ON BOTH STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. I HOPE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT THE NHTSA CAN DO SO THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD.
