Dealership to fix column lock
I was advised that my column lock problem is not going to be covered under warranty.
I'm going to bring my car to the dealership to get it fixed.
Can anyone give me an idea on how much this will / should cost me.
Thanks

GM covered my column lock on my 2000 Coupe including towing at absolutely no cost to me. Your dealer should call his AVP.
The recall work was free, too. Sounds like you have a dealer trying to make a buck off of you when GM pays for that stuff.

It was a recall, they have to fix it. If you purchased used vette, just call a dealer and hve then check the VIN to see if it one of the affected cars and if it has been done.

Point of clarification...having the GM recall accomplished on our vettes doesn't prevent column lock-out. Correct?
If so, then all of these posts about folks getting the recall completed, aren't fixing the entire problem. Right?
Question: then what does the GM recall resolve?
Thanks!

Your car should be covered under a recall. Mention this to your dealer and if they still insist on you paying for it, go to another dealer.

Us M6ers should make the CLB the first mod to our cars.

They should be capable of unplugging the darned thing right?
