No dice from GM they told me the same **** as the dealers and just gave me a number proving that I made a complaint.. So I wrote the NHTSA a pretty lengthy letter tell them my issue but as for now I just took my car to a shop cause I'm sick of it just sitting in the drive way. Maybe GM will extend the recall to more vins and I get reimbursed but Ii doubt it.. Thanks for the advice nonetheless!!
