Grumpy Tilt Wheel Problem
I ran to the store this morning, and when returning to my my 03 Coupe for the return ride, I found that the tilt wheel would not release from the upmost position. I tried everything, but the tilt wheel simply stopped working leaving the steering wheel in an awkward position; "full up" making reading of the DIC interesting not to mention making turns much more interesting as well.
Anyone seen this problem?
Thanks,
Ron

No, I haven't and I hope I don't. I also have an 03 Coupe, MN6 and have concerns about the column lock problem, and now this...geeez 
I have a five year old Acura TL and there has never been any problem with anything. GM are you listening? Yeh, like they care.

I remember one other post on this a long time ago. The driver was a little lady and she tried everything to get it unstuck. Finally her burly boyfriend/husband? grabbed it and tugged and it came loose. Might want to try a bit more muscle (at your own risk, of course...

Give a tug on it..
I mean with the tug thing......If you will pull the release and as you do give it a firm hard hit on the lower portion of the steering wheel it will probably pop free...
not seen it on the corvette but similar issue found on GM steering columns...
