GOT TO DESTINATION TO RENT A CAR. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A GM DEALER TO HAVE DIAGNOSED THE ELECTRONIC STEERING TO HAVE FAULTED OUT,ESTIMATE @ 1700.00 TO REPAIR. DAUGHTER COULD NOT AFFORD THAT KIND OF MONEY ,SO FAMILY GOT TOGETHER AND WENT OUT AND TOWING VEHICLE HOME. VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH ANOTHER STEERING COLUMN OUT OF A WRECKED VEHICLE BY FAMILY MECHANIC. CONTACTED GOVERNMENT MOTORS TO FIND NO REIMBURSEMENT OF RECALL AT THIS TIME FOR THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT REPAIRED AT A GM DEALER. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME KIND OF PROBLEM AND PARTS AS THE G5,WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE ? A DEATH AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT TO HAVE THEM PULL THERE HEADS OUT!!!!
