Default Column lock again even after recall!

I just got the column lock for the first time. I had the recall done about a year ago. Has anybody had the column lock again even after the recall?

I did. If the recall repairs fail to solve the problem, Chevy should cover it under general parts warranty even after new car warranty has run out.

I hope so because my basic warranty is out.

They should cover it! If you wind up with a lot of :bs , get the bypass.

Had mine lock a second time after the recall was performed. Had to get a flatbed, and spend a week without the Vette. They performed the recall a second time. :rolleyes: By coincidence, the day that it locked was the last day of my warranty, but I am sure they would have covered it anyway. :D
