2007 Chevrolet Malibu Steering

AGAIN, I FILE A COMPLAINT. I LOST MY POWER STEERING, A MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED TO INFORM ME OF THE LOSS. STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN AT MANUAL STEERING.. AT THIS TIME NO RECALLS WERE MADE. ON 3/31 A RECALL WAS MADE FOR CHEVROLET MALIBU MODELS FROM 2004 AND 2005, AND SOME FROM 2006, 208 AND 2009. MINE IS A 2007 AND IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. MY AUTO HAS BEEN UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS STEERING PROBLEM. WHY ISN;T MY AUTOMOBILE ON THE RECALL LIST. YOU CORRECTED THE PROBLEM FOR 1 YEAR AND THEN WENT BACK TO A CHEAPER WAY ??????? WHAT WAS DONE DIFFERENT TO THE 2007 MODELS, THAT THEY DIDN;T APPEAR IN THE RECALL. I HAVE ASKED FOR THE PHONE NUMBER OF [XXX] , GM'S NEWLY APPOINTED VICE PRESIDENT OF GLOBAL VEHICLE SAFETY, NO ONE WILL GIVE ME HIS NUMBER.

WIFE DRIVING IN TOWN WHEN POWER STEERING INFORMATION CAME UP ON THE RADIO SCREEN. STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO VIOLENTLY JERK TO THE RIGHT. THEN THE POWER STEERING SHUT DOWN AND FORCED MY WIFE TO STRUGGLE WITH STEERING TO GET TO A SAFE AREA PARKING LOT. VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. UPON RE-IGNITION, POWER STEERING RETURNED. FOUR INCIDENTS OF SIMILAR OCCURRENCE SINCE THEN. WIFE WON'T DRIVE CAR NOW. VERY DANGEROUS CONSIDERING POTENTIAL RAMIFICATIONS TO CAUSING CRASH. 75000 MILES AT START OF PROBLEM. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED. CAN GM SMELL LAWSUIT SHOULD ANY FAMILY BE INJURED DUE TO THIS? THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM BUT EXPECT CONSUMERS TO LAY OUT OVER 1000.00 DOLLARS TO FIX A PROBLEM CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE GM PARTS/VEHICLE. LIABILITY IS ON GM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A CHIME SOUNDED AS THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL FORCEFULLY AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. ONCE RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH IN REVERSE, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,000.

INTERMITTENT ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURES. THE FAILURES OCCURRED AT RANDOM, AND ALWAYS RESULTED IN THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING DEACTIVATING, A POWER STEERING WARNING MESSAGE ON THE MESSAGE CENTER, AND EVENTUALLY THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM RETURNING TO OPERATION. AFTER ATTEMPTING A REPAIR, THE POWER STEERING NOW TRIES TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT LOCK POSITION. AFTER CONTACTING GM, I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM AND SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS A BRANDED TITLE, THE POWER STEERING CANNOT BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO ME. *TR

AFTER PARKING CAR BRIEFLY, CAME OUT STARTED IT AND STEERING HARD, ON CENTER CONSOLE WAS MESSAGE FOR POWER STEERING. I LOOKED FOR BELTS, THINKING IT HAD A PUMP AND BELT. IT DID NOT. HAS ELECTRONIC STEERING OVER HYDRAULICS. ANYWAY TURNED KEY OFF AND BACK ON, STEERING WAS FINE, THIS HAPPENED FOR A FEW DAYS, SOME TIMES YOU COULD CYCLE KEY ONCE, OTHERS IT COULD TAKE MULTIPLE TIMES. ALSO WHILE SITTING STILL AND CAR RUNNING, STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK TO LEFT. I TOOK CAR TO LOCAL DEALER FOR REPAIRS. AN ELECTRONIC MODULE HAD FAILED, CAUSING PROGRESSIVE DAMAGE TO STEERING COLUMN. TOTAL COST$1199.90. LOOKING ONLINE, RECALLS WERE ISSUED FOR 2004-2006, 2008 AND 2009 MODELS HAVING SAME ISSUE. THE WARRANTIES ON THESE UNIT WERE EXTENDED TIL 10 YEARS 150,000 MILES. I HAVE CALLED GM AND THEY HAVE YET TO GIVE ME A VERBAL RESPONSE. IF SAFETY IS SUCH A HUGE CONCERN OF THEIRS, AND STEERING IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY SHOULD ADMIT THEY HAVE AN ISSUE, INCLUDE THE 2007 MODELS AND CORRECT IT. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING ASSIST UNIT AS OTHER GM MODELS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED, WHY IS THIS VEHICLE NOT RECALLED. IT WILL KICK OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AND THEN SOMETIMES KICK BACK ON WHILE DRIVING, NOW I HAVE IT IMMOBILE IN MY GARAGE AS IT IS UNDRIVEABLE. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASION I FEARED MY LIFE AS I HAD TO MAKE QUICK TURNS TO AVOID POTHOLES, ETC. I NO LONGER DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND IT REMAINS IMMOBILE IN MY GARAGE WAITING FOR THIS TO BE A RECALL TO FIND OUT THAT THIS MODEL YEAR IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS NEEDS RECALLED OR EXPLAINED WHY IT HAS BEEN REMOVED. *TR

UPON STARTING MY CAR, I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND THE DISPLAY READ "SERVICE POWER STEERING." AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF, IT WILL RESET. THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES. UPON CHECKING WITH A DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2005, 2006, AND 2008 MALIBUS BUT NOT FOR 2007, AND, THEREFORE, I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. I'M FRUSTRATED THAT I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER MODELS BUT IT IS NOT RECOGNIZED AS A RECALL IN THE 2007 MODEL. WHY??? *TR

I CONTINUALLY EXPERIENCE SUDDEN POWER LOSS WHILE DRIVING MY 07 MALIBU WHICH MY DASHBOARD ALERTED POWER STEERING LOST. AT FIRST THIS WOULD HAPPEN RANDOMLY, HOWEVER IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE ESPECIALLY IN WARMER TEMPS. I CAN NO LONGER PARALLEL PARK AS THE MANUAL STEERING IS MUCH TO HARD. I'M SCARED TO MAKE ANY SHARP TURNS AS LOSS OF POWER GENERALLY HAPPENS AT THAT TIME.IT'S EXTREMELY TERRIFYING TO KNOW AT ANY MINUTE MY STEERING CAN GO OUT WHILE GOING 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY (WHICH HAS HAPPENED) AND I CANNOT MANEUVER MY VEHICLE HOW IT'S SUPPOSE TO MANEUVERED. WHY ARE ALL OTHER MODEL YEARS BEING RECALLED BUT NOT THE 2007 MODEL YEAR????? DEALERSHIP WILL FIX THE ISSUE AT MY OWN EXPENSE WHICH IS CLOSE TO $1,000 AS THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I HAVE REPORTED TO GM ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THAT MY POWER STEERING IS FAULTY. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE 2006 AND 2008 MODELS OF THIS CAR WERE RECENTLY LISTED AMONG THE RECALL. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT GM WAS NOT AT ALL WILLING TO DISCLOSE TO ME THAT I MAY REPORT THIS PROBLEM TO YOU TO GET THIS MODEL INCLUDED. IMAGINE THAT! I AM WANTING TO INFORM YOU THAT FACTORY DEFECT EXISTS WITH THE 2007 MODEL AS WELL. I WENT AND HAD TIRES PUT ON MY CAR LAST SATURDAY AND ASKED THE TECHNICIAN TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS LOOSE UNDERNEATH, AS IT OFTEN FELT THAT WAY WHILE DRIVING. HE REPORTED BACK, IN WRITING, THAT MY CAR'S RACK AND PINION IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. I OFTEN ENCOUNTER THE POWER STEERING NOT WORKING UPON STARTING THE CAR. I HAVE FOUND THROUGH READING ON THE INTERNET THAT REMOVING THE KEY AND RESTARTING THE CAR WILL RESET THE POWER STEERING. SO FAR, THIS HAS WORKED. MY FEAR IS THAT IT WILL EVENTUALLY NOT RESET OR WORSE, LOOSE POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. IF MY MODEL IS NOT BEING INCLUDED DUE TO LACK OF COMPLAINTS, THAT IS SO WRONG. I IMAGINE THEY LIKE ME, DO NOT KNOW HOW TO REPORT IT TO YOU. IT'S NOT A LACK OF PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM ABSOLUTELY DOES EXIST WITH THIS MODEL AS WELL. THANK YOU. *TR

(CHEVROLET MALIBU 2007) MY POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY WENT OUT AND THE WHEEL JERKS WHEN YOUR JUST SITTING IDLE. NOW MY POWER STEERING IS COMPLETELY GONE. MANY CHEVROLET VEHICLES HAD THIS EXACT ISSUE AND WERE RECALLED HOWEVER THEY DID NOT RECALL MY VEHICLE. GM DEALERSHIP PERFORMED DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND INFORMED ME I NEEDED TO REPLACE STEERING COLUMN WHICH WOULD COST $1000, THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF IT. IM NOT HAPPY WITH CHEVY AND DO NOT PLAN ON PURCHASING ANYMORE VEHICLES WITH THEM. *TR

THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON THE RADIO INTERMITTENTLY, THEN I HEAR THE ALERT AND A CLICK IN MY STEERING WHEEL AND THEN I LOSE POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU THAT THE POWER STEERING KEEPS CUTTING OUT. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS TRAVELING 35 MILES PER HOUR WHEN A DEER RAN OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I ALMOST HIT A TREE. I AM VERY GRATEFUL THAT MY CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE CAR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND IT APPEARED GM HAS ALREADY RECALLED SOME MODELS FOR THE 2006 AND 2008 WITH THE SAME POWER STEERING ISSUE. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WOULD TAKE THIS ISSUE INTO CONSIDERATION AND LOOK INTO POSSIBLY RECALLING THE 2007 MODEL AS WELL. DURING MY RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THANK YOU. LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE AND THE POWER STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

RE: CHEVY MALIBU 2007 POWER STEERING MOTOR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! WHEN PASSING ON HIGHWAY, THE STEERING LOCKED AND MADE A RATTLING SOUND IN FRONT DRIVER SIDE, I HAD TO FORCE STEERING AROUND THE VEHICLE I WAS PASSING OR I WOULD HAVE HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE STEERING WAS NOT OPERATING SAFELY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT. I TOOK TO MY MALIBU TO AN AUTO REPAIR, THEY LOOKED FOR RECALLS AND CHECKED FOR WARRANTY OF THE POWER STEERING MOTOR, BUT NONE WAS FOUND FOR THIS MODEL/MAKE/YEAR. THE POWER STEERING MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE DAY AFTER I ALMOST HAD THE ACCIDENT. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I LOOKED ON-LINE AT HOME AND SAW THAT THE COBALT AND OTHER MAKE/MODEL/YEAR HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR A DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING MOTOR IN CANADA-THE UNITED STATES NEEDS TO RECALL THIS IN THE STATES. THERE MAY ALREADY HAVE BEEN FATAL ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THE DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING MOTOR. IF MY DAUGHTER OR SON HAD BEEN DRIVING THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DEADLY ACCIDENT, SINCE THE STEERING WAS OUT OF CONTROL. GET THIS RECALL DONE FOR THE POWER STEERING MOTOR ON THE CHEVY MALIBU 2007. THERE IS A DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING MOTOR IN THE CHEVY MALIBU 2007 AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! I CONTACTED GM, AND GM SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS MODEL/MAKE/YEAR. I REPORTED THAT MY POWER STEERING MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACE FOR $867.51 TO GM AND REQUESTED A REIMBURSEMENT FROM GM ON THE EXPENSE THAT WERE INCURRED, BUT WAS DENIED BY A TIER ONE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON AND ALSO HIS SUPERVISOR IN THE TIER ONE GM DEPARTMENT.- I WONDER HOW MANY TIERS YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO GET ACTION DONE. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID IT TAKES A LONG TIME FOR RECALLS THROUGH THE GOVERNMENT. I HOPE IT DOESN'T. I TOLD GM, THEY SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS BY GOING TO THE TOP AT GM TO GET THE RECALL DONE, BEFORE MORE ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS ARE CAUSED BY THIS DEFECT. GET THIS RECALL DONE! *TR

STEERING WANTED TO TURN/JERK TO LEFT THAN RIGHT ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF CAR AND MANY OTHER TIMES THE STEERING GETS STIFF AND IS VERY HARD TO TURN. *TR

PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPACE HAD NO POWER STEERING NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN, THOUGHT IT WAS LOW ON POWER STEERING FLUID SO PULLED INTO MECHANICS GARAGE, WAS TOLD THE MALIBU HAS ELECTRICAL STEERING AND HAD PROBABLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. STARTED CAR BACK UP, AND POWER STEERING HAS BEEN WORKING SINCE. NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY GM VERY DANGEROUS, YOU CANNOT TURN WHEEL WHEN ELECTRICAL STEERING GOES OUT. TERRIBLE. *TR

THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF A RIGHT TURN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE A TON OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. I SUGGEST YOU PEOPLE GET A RECALL NOTICE FROM GM QUICKLY. GET MOVING PRONTO......LOTS OF ACCIDENTS AND NEAR ACCIDENTS. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEEDS. WILL EVEN JERK BACK AND FORTH WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. *TR

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS A TRUCK BLOCKING MY LANE. AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES, I HEARD AN ALARM CHIMING WITH THE MESSAGE "POWER STEERING" DISPLAYED ON MY RADIO SCREEN. I FELT A SLIGHT VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND HAD NO POWER STEERING ASSIST, AND STRUGGLED TO TURN THE WHEEL TO GO AROUND THE TRUCK. I THEN SHUT AND THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND THE POWER STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL. A FEW DAYS LATER, I HAD THE CAR CHECKED BY THE DEALER AND THEY COULD FIND NO ERROR CODES. THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ACTED AS IF MY PROBLEM WAS UNIQUE. THIS WAS DESPITE THAT THEY TWICE CHANGED MAJOR PARTS OF THE EPS UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE PREVIOUS OWNERS OF THE CAR IN 2007, AND 2008 IN WHICH THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY 2005, 2006, AND 2008 MALIBUS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND 2007 MALIBUS WERE NOT DESPITE THE MANY COMPLAINTS FOR LOSS OF EPS LOCATED ON WEBSITES ALL OVER THE INTERNET. IF LOSS OF CONTROLLED STEERING IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, THEN WHAT IS? *TR

SINCE JULY OF 2012 MY POWER STEERING WAS INTERMITTENT NOW AS OF SEPT 14TH 2013 I DON'T HAVE ANY POWER STEERING AT ALL. THE FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON, THE GAS GAGE FLUCTUATES. I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE WITHOUT ANY POWER STEERING. I MUST USE THE CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK. I BELIEVE THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING A CAR WITH OUT POWER STEERING!!! I DID BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT SURE REPLACING THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, AND IT WOULD COST AT LEAST $750.00!!!! PLEASE ADVISE. I LOOKED AT THE RECALL AND THE 2007 WAS NOT INCLUDED THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. OBVIOUSLY THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING IN THE MALIBU.

I'VE HAD MORE THEN ONE CASE WERE THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT THE FIRST TIME IT DID IT WHEN I WAS DRIVEN DOWN THE STREET AND THE STEERING WHEEL YANKED MY STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVEN FORCING ME OFF THE ROAD. GOOD THING IT DID NOT CAUSE ME TO HIT A CAR OR ANYTHING ELSE . THE STEERING JERKS EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS JUST SITTING IN PARK . YOU COULD BE GOING 0 MILES TO 60 MILES IT DOES IT DOES IT ABOUT 10 TO 12 TIMES A DAY . I WAS TOLD BY GM CUSTOMER SERVICE THESE IS A KNOW ISSUE BUT NO RECALL ON ELECTRIC STEERING YET . I FEAR FOR MY LIFE I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR 1 WEEK AND I'M NOT SURE WHY THERE IS NOT RECALL ON THE 2007 CHEVY MALIBU LTZ. I CALLED THE DEALER I GOT IT FROM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT ISSUE WAS KNOW BUT NO REPAIR NEEDED. *JS

I WAS CHANGING THE LANE. STEERING LOOSE CONTACT WITH WHEEL. WHEEL TURNED WITHOUT ANY CONTROL. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT. BRAKE WORKED. I STOPPED THE CAR AND STARTED AGAIN. IT WORKED FINE. THERE SHOULD BE RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF INIDENT

POWER STEERING WENT OUT, TOOK TO DEALER SAID IT WAS THE STEERING COLUMN. DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE WILL HAVE TO REPAIR AND CALL GM. EVEN THOUGH ONLINE EVERYONE SAYS THEY WILL NOT FIX IT UNLESS THEY ARE FORCED TO RECALL. SO PLEASE, EVERYONE WITH THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO START GETTING LOUD THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!!!!! *TR

SO WAS DRIVING AND THE WHOLE STEERING WHEEL FROZE ALMOST RAN INTO A GIRL IN THE PARKING LOT..NO MANUAL STEERING NOTHING...CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-222-1020 THAT WAS A JOKE. ALL THEY DO IS PLAY GAMES. MY CASE NUMBER IS [XXX] JUST WANTED GM TO PAY FOR THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. GM DID RECALL 2004,2005,2006 AND 2008 THEN IN 2009 PUT IN THE POWER STEERING FLUID INSTEAD OF THIS ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING...GM NEVER RECALLED THE 2007 EVER THOUGH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER YEARS THAT THEY DID RECALLED..I HAVE SPENT OVER $2000.00 TO GET A DEFECTIVE PART FIXED.[XXX] SPECIALIST SUPERVISOR IS A LAME TITLE FOR A CUSTOMER SERVICE HE CALLED THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM COVER THE COST AND THEN TOLD THE DEALER THAT G< WILL NOT PAY NEVER CONTACTED ME...THEN I TIRED TO GET ANOTHER CUSTOMER SERVICE REP AND E/MAILE GM AND ALL THEY DID WAS REFERRED BACK TO KEVIN WHICH I HAVE NEVER HEARD FROM...NEVER----EVER BUY A GM VEHICLE.
