^ happened to me the day I bought my car.. I was only 800 miles from home... talk about being freaked out haha. 20 years old, just flew out to St. Louis to spend all my money on a corvette, got a few hundred miles down the road and stopped for gas and had this happen when I started it/tried to start moving...
good times, good times...luckily for me the guy i bought the car from was a legit guy and always answers the phone when I call to ask him about a problem with the car...

Guys....
Kral says he is from the Czech Republic.... I doubt there are any Corvette dealers thee... the Vette was likely imported one off....
Recomendations? If the recall has been done... can he just intall a CLB?

Dealer can rip you off. Get the CLB!
Be carefull about going back to the dealer. I had a 2000 A4 that had the column lock recall done and then 6 months later got the SERVICE COLUMN LOCK with fuel shutting off at 2 MPH. After having it towed to the dealer, it ended up being the column lock motor itself, and they charged me $524! Yes, even though the recall renders the steering column unlockable. I bitched to GM, and bitched to the dealer, but got no where. They both said that the column lock motor itself is not added during the recall and therefore not a covered part. Lesson learned, never go to the dealer for column lock problems (especially on a 2000 which is seems to be more prone to the column lock motor burning out). Get the CLB!!! only $50.00 and easy to install following directions on this website. Good luck.

If the problem was due to the recall retuning the PCM, perhapse he can mail the PCM back to the states to get tuned by a mail-order tuner like LG or somebody, and then just install the CLB?
