Default C5 stops after 2 seconds in drive? Help please.

It drove fine earlier, but after starting it up 20 minutes later the car would die after putting it in drive/reverse and gassing for 2 seconds. It would also occur when the car would move forward using no gas pedal.

The car idles fine and will stay on while in drive if the car does not move.

Anyone ever had this problem?

I get the Service Column Lock message on the Hud.

just read that you need to go to a dealer or buy the $50 unit to bypass this...is there no way to just reset this so my car can drive home?

If i go to the dealer, is this a recall or will i be paying the stealership?

Search for "CLB". Many of us have had the problem.

Agreed. Column Lock is biting you. You need the Bypass device.

I happen to know that this battery is on its way out (cars been sitting for awhile and has a known battery issue). Can i assume, and just replace the battery to get the BCM signals communicating?
