I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A NOISE ON DRIVER SIDE NEAR TIRE DURING LOW SPEED WHILE GOING OVER A BUMP. DEALER STATED THE STEERING COLUMN WAS BAD. REPLACED THE PART AT A TOTAL COST OF $874.62. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE STEERING COLUMN LOWER BEARING THAT IS FAILING ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE, WITH SOME INDICATING THEY HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART MULTIPLE TIMES. I FEEL THE PART IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE THE STEERING TO SEIZE AND THE OPERATOR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY TOOK MY COMPLIANT OVER THE PHONE, BUT THEY MOST LIKELY WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIRS UNLESS THEY DETERMINE THE PART IS DEFECTIVE. I WANT THIS TO FURTHER INVESTIGATED BECAUSE I FEAR THE NEW PART CAN FAIL AT ANY TIME CAUSING A CRASH AND A POTENTIAL FATALITY. *TR

I HAD A VERY BAD GAS LEAK. I CALLED THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY CAR WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL THEY HAD ON THE SAME PROBLEM DUE TO MY VIN NUMBER. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THAT SAID MY FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS CRACKED AND THEY REPLACED IT COSTING ME $610.42. I THINK I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED BY CHEVROLET. *TR

GM DEALER WAS CONTACTED WITH RECALL INFORMATION ON THIS VEHICLE IN LAST WEEK OF MAY 2014. WE WERE ADVISED THAT THE PART WOULD BE ORDERED, WE WOULD BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST, AND THEN CALLED WHEN THE REPAIR WAS SCHEDULED. TWO MONTHS HAVE NOW PASSED WITH NO IDEA FROM THE DEALER WHEN PARTS WILL ARRIVE OR WHEN THIS SAFETY ISSUE WILL BE CORRECTED. I FEEL LIKE I AM SITTING ON A TICKING TIME BOMB EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS CAR AND THAT GM ISN'T REALLY THAT CONCERNED WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO ME IS THAT THIS IS MY DAUGHTER'S CAR AND MY SAFETY WITH THIS VEHICLE IS NOT NEAR AS IMPORTANT AT THAT OF ONE I LOVE VERY DEARLY. IT IS REALLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT GM WOULD DRAG THEIR FEET ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT BE RESPONSIVE IN THE DETERMINATION OF WHEN THIS IGNITION RECALL WILL BE FIXED. *TR
