What's the "column lockup" problem?

This weekend, while jump-starting my Z06 (don't ask), I was unable to unlock the steering column. I had to fold the side mirrors in to squeeze the car out my garage door so I could jump it.

After letting it run awhile after the jump to recharge the batter, I stopped the car, removed the key, started it again, and this seemed to "unlock" the steering wheel.

Now I get this irritating "Service Column Lock" message every time I start the car, and I wonder if I'm going to lose my steering midway down an on ramp and die a fiery, violent death.

Is this the "column lockup" problem I've read about? Can dealers fix it?

Between this and the oil consumption problems, I am beginning to get annoyed at the Z...

What scares me is that the SCL problem could return if the dealer replaces the hardware with the same items.....A "root cause" needs to be identified and eliminated, period.
