What owners report

2019-08-07, Steering
SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. FOUND THAT A RECALL FOR THIS FAILURE WAS IN PLACE. TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE THE PART (POWER STEERING MOTOR) HAD BEEN REPLACED PREVIOUSLY THEY SAID IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. CALLED THE GM LINE AND ONCE MORE THEY WOULDN'T GIVE AN ANSWER EVEN AFTER TALKING TO THE SUPERVISOR. VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THE RECALL LOOKUP, BUT THE VIN NUMBER FALLS WITHIN THE RANGE OF COVERED VEHICLES ON THE OFFICIAL BULLETIN. IN MY OPINION, REPLACING A DEFECTIVE PART WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART IS NOT HONORING THEIR RECALL. 2010 PONTIAC G5 BULLETIN NO.: 10023 RECALL NO.: 10V073000 RECALL DATE.: 03/03/2010 VIN: [XXX] DATE OF FAILURE: 08/
