• Recall 41309 [USA]: If this occurs, a crash could occur without warning.
  On certain passenger vehicles equipped with electronic column lock systems (ecl), when the ignition switch is turned to "lock," the ecl system prevents turning of the steering system. When the vehicle is started, the ecl unlocks the steering system. The vehicle is designed so that if the column fails to unlock when the vehicle is started and the customer tries to drive, the fuel supply will be shut off so that the vehicle cannot move when the vehicle cannot be steered. If voltage at the powertrain control module is low or interrupted, however, the fuel shut off may not occur and the vehicle can be accelerated while the steering system is locked. Also when the control system shows that the ecl is unlocked and the vehicle is being driven, the lock pin location can vary. Depending on the location of the lock plate relative to the switch transition point, there could then be contact between the lock plate and pin causing the steering to lock while driving .
  on vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, the dealer will disable the steering column lock by removing the column lock plate. When the ignition key is removed, the transmission shifter will lock but the steering column will not lock. On vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, the dealer will reprogram the powertrain control module, perform a dimensional check of the column lock and, if necessary, replace the lock plate. The steering column on these vehicles will continue to lock when the key is removed. Owner notification to owners of 1997 vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions began on april 26, 2004. Owners of 1998 through 2004 vehicles (except 1997-1998 manual transmission vehicles) will be notified beginning on august 2, 2004.

• Steering column lockup investigation # EA02031

  In 2001, general motors (gm) issued customer service campaigns 1044 and 1044a to address a condition where the steering column would fail to unlock during the initial key-in and start-up in certain my 1998-2000 corvette vehicles.However, odi continued to receive complaints concerning steering column lockup on corvette vehicles.As a result, pe02-054 was opened and later upgraded to ea02-031 for my 1997-2001 subject vehicles.Odis analysis identified concerns with post-repair failures in vehicles serviced through the campaigns, as well as, failures in my 1997-2003 subject vehicles not included in the campaigns.(note: the manufacturer failure data above is limited to my 1997-2003 vehicles through 10/17/2003.)on february 6, 2004, gm notified nhtsa of a safety defect in my 1997-2004 corvette vehcles equipped with manual transmissions and my 1997-2000 corvette vehicles with automatic transmissions.The notification stated that if the voltage at the powertrain control module (pcm), which was designed to shut down the fuel supply when the steering column failed to unlock and the customer tried to drive the vehicle, is low or interrupted, the fuel shut off may not occur.As a result, the customer could drive the vehicle while the steering column was locked causing the driver to lose steering control and possibly crash without warning.Gm will instruct owners to bring their vehicles to a dealer to have the pcm reprogrammed for manual transmission vehicles and the electric column lock disabled for automatic transmission vehicles.Odi will monitor the effectiveness of the remedy in the manual transmission vehicles and take further action if warranted.

• Front lap belt malfunction investigation # EA00009

  Odi opened this ea00-009 on march 16, 2000, to continue analyses begun under preliminary evaluation pe99-076.The alleged defect: lap belt webbing in both seating positions tends to fold over while entering the retractor opening.These folds frequently impede proper webbing retraction.If the retractor has been inadvertently toggled into automatic lock retractor (alr) mode by being extended to its full length, it may fail to reset itself to the normal emergency lock retractor (elr) mode.Such a condition has been shown to render the active restraint unusable.Conclusion: gm will remedy the alleged defect in 71,569 subject vehicles built prior to august 1999 by adding webbing guide inserts to the lap retractor openings of both seating positions to prevent the admission of folded webbing onto the retractor spool.This engineering analysis has been closed.

The vehicle is stationary. Proceed to start vehicle. Steering column locks up. Has occurred several times. I am the third owner of this vehicle. In researching information regarding past recalls apparently hedrick's dealership of fresno, ca completed work but in asking what they completed, i was informed that all past computer data was purged from their files so they cannot tell me what was completed. I then called gm to get information but after talking to three different people i was told they were not allowed to give me any information as to what was completed. I referenced a gm report entitled "04006c - product safety recall - february 8, 2006" in talking with the gm representatives and i was told the report didn't exist. The report was found at https://static.Nhtsa.Gov. This report replaced bulletin 04006b - november 23, 2004. In reading on nhtsa, several other owners experienced the same vehicle issues with steering column. Plus, with work being completed but still having same issues. Can you assist me in obtaining the recall work completion report on my vehicle? Hedrick's indicated that i would have to bring the vehicle in for a diagnostic review at the cost of $165.00 and then go from there. In reading "04006c - product safety recall - february 8, 2006" it indicates, "dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this recall at no charge to customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward." plus, whatever work hedrick's completed the work wasn't sufficient as the issue of the steering column locking up continues.
