I am still confused on this, my power steering went out before there was a recall, they replaced it.
Did they change the motor when the recall went out? I need to know if I should take it back to get a new motor or something? |

I bought my cars in Utah. Now live in Virginia. How do I contact GM to make sure they send the letters to my new address?
|
Oh shit at first when I saw "- remove motor" I thought "no way in hell is the dealer removing my motor to replace a power steering.....oh right....motor" :lol:. Thanks for posting this up and I'll have to discuss the "test drive" portion with them, shop foreman, my buddy at the dealership or no body is taking it out :).

Did you get a letter about the cadalic converter? They should send it to you if you have the car title. I bought my car in Pennsylvania, and they sent a letter to my house in IL.

im kinda confused lol
my power steering has been out for months now, when would my recall be? i have an 07 |
I just called GM and my dealer. Both said my cars are not included in the recall. Both vehicles VINs fall into the breakdown the OP posted. However, they gave me case numbers. I was also able to update my address so that I can get the recall letters sent to my new address in Virginia. The number to GM is 1.800.222.1020.
update. The GM Rep, after having me on hold for a few minutes to look at the Service Bulletin (I had to give her the number) has said that neither of my cars are involved in the recall even though my VINs are within the breakpoints. Apparently, not all vehicles in the breakpoints are included. As for the letters, they won't be issued until some time in April. I question the accuracy of the information the Rep had as I have one source telling me one thing, and another saying the opposite. If anybody can clear this up with certainty it would be greatly appreciated. |

it does. It helps out a lot. In summary, GM reps and dealerships won't know until the cars respective phase has approached. I guess I'll just wait for the letter(s).
|
hmm my powersteering has been out for months but it doesnt throw the code
isnt it suppose to throw the code if its not working? |
can a toyota speed out of control without a cel?
|
lol true
|
cool i fall first in line then
|
subd

To domin8
the rep u spoke with should or read a seperate document giving pretty cut and dry instructions on the situation. He prob looked at ur vin and saw it wasn't on there and didn't know what else to say...but if ur vin is in that breakpoint, ur in the recall...so just wai for the letter...also out of curiosity the rep u spoke with did he sound American? |
Jn2,
Or anyone that knows. I have a service manual and it says that the steering column HAS to be removed from the car in order to replace the electric power steering motor. Is this TRUE ? If so this will be a major big deal repair. Chance for more damage ! Does anyone know for sure ? Thanks. |
