Giant C5 Recall!!!

[Mike Campbell]

Well, I heard this morning that GM is finally going to recall all the C5's built from 1997 to 2004 for bad , you got it, COLUMN LOCKOUTS ;faz
All I can say is, "It's about freakin' time!!" ;jj;jj;jj;jj;jj;jj;jj

I didn't see it.....oh dopey me :( :( :(

[Bill Burkholder]

No problem... I still remember how hectic it could get when I was still working... So many things and no time... :D :D :D :D :D

Basically they're admitting that their 1st fix didn't fix it at all.

We all knew the pin could STILL slip thru...

What are they doing?

Entire new key/steering column?

Physically disabling the motor while the pin is recessed?

Removing the pin itself?

Or installing the simple bypass module like most of us have?

[Bill Burkholder]

some kind of re-program to cut the fuel so the car wont run ....

[YO-EL]

Haha... so when the wheel still locks, the engine will stall..

makes sense, huh??

I've said it from day 1, get the bypass...

I laugh whenever those guys on the Forum say they'll NEVER get it, & then cry when they get "locked".. haha

Maybe the General is going to install C-2 Steering columns that don't have that problem :D ;it ;jj ;jj ;jj
All kidding aside, It's about time. Seems odd that they waited until the FINAL YEAR of C-5 production to correct or attempt to correct the problem.
I agree with Ellis. Get the BYPASS! Problem SOLVED.
Maybe thats what GM is going to do :rolleyes:

Perhaps they waited so they could use the solution/fix for the C6 and save themselves some money??? It's sad to think that money was the motivator but unfortunately that's big business.
