A4 column lock recall?????
I bit the bullet & had the recall done today. It went pretty well except
they had a hard time pulling the steering wheel off. One question Ihave for those of you who had this done.Should I still hear the lock
motor run every time I turn the engine on & off????
thanks

yes, you should still HEAR the motor - but the wheel should never lock in place (ignition on or off).

I have a 99 vert. I hear the motor when I shut it off and start it.
No problem.

Same here. It has been fine since the TSB. Only locked 1 time before that, and GM fixed that issue with the bypass. Been happy with it since.

Received another notice today from GM, I just refuse to have it done. Maybe one day! I just like the added theft prevention feature.
