I had this same message pop up on my DIC and I have the CLB. I couldn't figure out WTH either. Well, I started snooping around and to my surprise found out my CLB wasn't even plugged in. I had taken the car to get a steering wheel sensor replaced and apparently the mechanic, being used to just plugging in the stock harness, did just that and left the CLB out of the circuit. So I had been driving around for about 8 mos. with no functioning CLB and didn't know it. I would've really been surprised if the column had actually locked up on me knowing that I had the CLB.

I've had that happen occasionally over the past year but not on a regular basis. It's been totally random. I was told by some club members that sometimes when you hop in the car and turn on the ignition you might do it in a way that the security system may think the car is being started illegally so it shuts you down and the message comes up. It figures that if you are the real driver with the real key then after 10 seconds you should be able to insert the key again and start it without a problem. That's what's always happened when it occurs with me. Most often it happens when I get into the car when it's in the garage and put it in reverse.
Hope that helps. Has anyone else been told that?

... ive never had ANY problems with the column locking and leaving me stranded ..
after i did the last recall, where they remove the parts, I have seen pull key wait 10 seconds more time sthan i can count .. my car wont start until after anywhere from 2 - 10 trys .. or by holding the key down for 30 seconds ..
it's beginning to get annoying ..
i thought it was voltage related but i got my voltage back up to 14.2 volts ..
.. maybe i should start asking questions because im at the end of my rope ..

Wow great information...I bought my 1999 new and had the first recall done...but did not know or have recieved any info on this second one.
Dealer's can be sly....If you get a good one your lucky....usually if your a member of a corvette club and you all go to the same dealer...this will eliminate a problem like ripoffs.

I just had my 2000 Coupe with 28,000 miles in to the local chevy dealer to resolve the Column Lock Recall. I had a list of things for them to do as well like check my battery since it was original. Also both my FOB's were not working correctly and thought the batteries must need changing. Dealer stated the battery is A OK, stated they needed to order new transmitters. Not sure why! And yes they did the COlumn Lock Recall. That night when i picked up the car, I experienced the messge on my DIC --- Pull key & wait 10 seconds. I did what it asked and thought nothing of it. Last weekend I experienced it again and the car shut off. It's been raining alot here in CT and I have not been driving. Came across this thread and now I'm very concerned. What is causing this on my car? I only have begun to experience this since the column lock recall was done. That work was done last Friday, May 5th, 2006. I bought my car in Feb 26, 2000. I'm very surprised that so many of you have experienced the same thing. I think I will be calling back the dealer tomorrow.

Sounds like they reprogrammed your computer to cut fuel if it detects a problem with the column lock (that was part of the 2004 recall procedure). Did they remove your locking plate completely (can you turn your steering wheel with your ignition off and key out)? I believe the new recall (Feb 2006) they are only suppose to remove the locking plate and change the harness.
