ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC COLUMN LOCK SYSTEMS (ECL), WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED TO "LOCK," THE ECL SYSTEM PREVENTS TURNING OF THE STEERING SYSTEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE ECL UNLOCKS THE STEERING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED SO THAT IF THE COLUMN FAILS TO UNLOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND THE CUSTOMER TRIES TO DRIVE, THE FUEL SUPPLY WILL BE SHUT OFF SO THAT THE VEHICLE CANNOT MOVE WHEN THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE STEERED.

MY 2003 Z06 CORVETTE BATTERY KEEPS DRAINING. I'M ON MY 3RD BATTERY AND THE SERVICE DEPT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT'S DRAINING THE BATTERY. THE PROBLEM IS FIXED WHEN I RECEIVE A NEW BATTERY, BUT IN 6 MONTHS THAT BATTERY BEGINS TO FAIL. IF THE CAR IS NOT STARTED WITHIN 3 DAYS THE BATTERY TENDS TO DIE. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME TO START THE CAR EVERY DAY, BUT I HAVE 2 OTHER CARS (GMC'S) THAT DON'T NEED TO BE STARTED EVERY DAY. THIS CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND I DON'T THINK IT NEEDS TO BE STARTED EVERY DAY. I BELIEVE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THE SERVICE DEPT, CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. *JB
