It happened to me last May 28th, the dreaded steering column lock

Since it's not a recall and the only cars immune are those with the Column Lock Bypass Kits and the '01 Automatic LS1 cars, we carry this product to end the worry and give us all a little piece of mind

See this website for a visual instruction set that compliments to included onstructions set provided.

If it happened May 28, it was not on a Z. How many Z owners have had problems with the column lock?

Let me clarify, I drive a 2000 Coupe and it still happens on '01 6 speeds. Mine occurred 5/28/00. The auto '01's don't have the feature, the 6 spds do.

I read about two on the CorvetteForum.com...don't have the links handy though.

Since the '01's, I haven't seen as many, but, it's not as hot ths time of year, summer usually brings more occurrences. Mine was on a hot day in Louisville before the Forum's Cruise-In. Talk about bad timing

One of my Zaino customers that lives about 15 minutes from me had his Z06 column lock on him about 3 weeks ago, he was over my house last Tuesday.

I was washing my car about a month ago when this woman walked up to me and asked how I liked it. I of course told her that I loooooooved it. She proceded to tell me a story of 3 yes 3 times that her and her husbands Z had locked up and had to be towed. She informed me that they had taken it to the dealer and traded it. I was amazed to say the least.

Hope to Z you soon
