and had the dealer fix the column lock issue
You did bad! The dealer "fix" is garbage, and your column WILL lock again. Tomorrow, and I mean TOMORROW, call Corvettes Of Houston and order a "column lock bypass". Before you install the bypass, you must reverse the garbage dealer hack fix they just did. The instructions on how to reverse it are posted in a lonnnnnng thread stickied at Corvetteforum. Once you change the dealer hack job, install the bypass ASAP. You should never have column lock issues again.

this was the second time they fixed it since the first time was a hack job supposedly and did it for free

this time they removed the locking pin so it cant happen again even went over it with my local speedshop alls good.
