Column lock on 200 Corvette failed, immobilizing vehicle. This device was subject to several prior recalls, but the replacement's design is still defective. Chevrolet dealer said that the recall has expired, so I had to pay for tow, parts/labor, and time off work. This amounts to nearly $1000. Since this is a safety-related design flaw, the recall should be reinstituted and I should be compensated.

Passenger power door lock does not unlock. The lock does lock, but in order to unlock the passenger door it must be done manually or by the key hole outside. Because of the new updated lock versions both actuators on the driver side door lock and passenger side door lock must be replaced in order for both locks to function together. Estimated cost to replace locks $1200.
