Overview: I purchased the car in 2013 black on black corvette convertible 6 speed on the floor fully loaded. The car worked perfectly until August 2011 that work order is attached. The dealer performed a recall repair on the steering harness and column lock. They left the lock nut for the steering column off it was found later under the driver\u2019s side seat. The steering came off in my wife\u2019s hands while driving on 4hth st downtown San Diego. The car sustained damage lucky no one was hurt this occurred in 12/01/2011 that work order is attached. The harness failed several times afterwards however I only have records back to 2014. The dealership purged records before 2014. Since 2014 the car has consistently had to return to the dealership to have another lock and harness installed. I can send those work orders on another email.

JUST PRIOR TO THE CRASHWE EXPERIENCED A SMALL FISHING OF OF THE REAR OF THE CAR AT WHICH TIME THE ACCELERATOR WAS DISENGAGED AND THE BRAKES APPLIED HARD. THE STEERING WAS LOCKED IN THE POSITION WE WERE DRIVING IN AT THE TIME WHICH WAS ON A CURVE. THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP US, AND AT THIS TIME THE RPM WAS RACING UPWARD ON THE CAR WHICH WAS ACCELERATING WHEN NO GAS WAS BEING APPLIED AT ALL. ONE OTHER TIME WHEN WE HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES QUICKLY, FOR A CHANGING LIGHT, THE RPM RACED WAY UP WHILE WE WERE STOPPED. OUR COMPUTER SAID NOTHING AT THIS TIME WHICH INDICATED TO US THAT THERE WAS NOTHING NOTED ABOUT THE INCIDENT THAT WE COULD SEE. ALSO AIRBAGS FAILED TO OPEN! WITHOUT OUR SEATBELTS, THE 37 INCIDENT AMONG CORVETTES WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST CASUALITY IN THE STEERING LOCK FAILURE. MOST NOTABLY AND CRITICAL OF THE FAILURES IS THE STEERING LOCK FIAILURE NO.1, NO 2 IS BRAKES FAILING TO STOP VEHICLE AND NO. 3 IS AIRBAGS FAILING TO DEPLOY.
