Your dealership may have already addressed the issue (bypass the cable loom) but there is a somewhat common issue with a plug inside the steering column. Do a search for Service Active Handling and you'll find several threads on the subject. Here's some information that may help:
SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING
TSB 06.02.35.002
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) C0710 Steering Wheel Position Sensor (SWPS) Signal, Service Stability System Message on Driver Information Center (DIC) (Inspect and Secure Wires in SWPS Connector)
2005-2006 Chevrolet Corvette
with Steering Wheel - Tilt, Telescoping (RPO N37)
Condition
Some customers may comment on a Service Stability Message on the DIC.
Diagnosis with a scan tool may reveal a DTC C0710.
Cause
The most likely cause of a DTC C0710 on a vehicle equipped with telescoping/tilt steering wheel is high resistance in SWPS connector C202. Fretting terminal corrosion maybe present in the SWPS connector due to the telescoping motion of the steering column. When the steering column is telescoped in and out, the female terminals within the SWPS connector may move on the male terminals of the SWPS. This movement between the terminals may cause a high resistance condition in the SWPS connector.
Correction
Remove the driver's side close out panel.
Notice:
• Failure to properly tape the wires in the connector may result in additional concerns.
• Failure to use a small plastic strap 2.5-3.5 mm (0.10-0.14 in) in width may prevent the SWPS connector from properly seating, resulting in additional SWPS DTCs.
Using electrical tape (1), tape from the plastic strap up the wires a minimum of 2.5 cm (1 in).
Install a small plastic strap (2) 2.5-3.5 mm (0.10-0.14 in) wide around the SWPS sensor connector so that it retains the wires to the connector as shown.
Important: Install and remove the SWPS connector a minimum of three times to remove any possible terminal corrosion.
Reinstall the SWPS connector.
Reinstall the close out panel.

Good luck!
I think he's way past the permitted time period to file a claim under the lemon law. I believe (in most all States) that only applies to cars in the first year.
