HAS ALMOST COST MY LIFE THE FIRST TIME. NO ONE WILL FIX IT BECAUSE THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ENOUGH PEOPLE REPORTING IT ON MY VIN NUMBER YET. I HAVE CALLED THE GM LINE TO REPORT IT. AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD. I HAVE EVEN CALLED 2 DEALERSHIPS AN THEY SAID I CAN PAY FOR IT NOW TO GET FIXED AND BE REIMBURSED WHEN THE RECALL COMES OUT AFTER ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED IT. I CANT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF POCKET !
