Can someone check my VIN?

Since my car has had past problems and dealerships asking me if i had a loaner...can someone run my VIN and see what my poor car has dealt with?

VIN: 1G1AL12F057648903

maybe they are asking if you had a loaner (reserved) for while your car was in the shop. my dealership has a few loaners we will give to customers while their car is in for warranty work.

no, it was when my struts were replaced. both struts were completely blown, they were wondering if i had a loaner cuz i guess its really hard to blow both at the same time. they had to pull some strings to get it on my warrenty. lol

they told me that GM wouldnt cover it at first cuz of how blown both were, and i guess they wont cover it if they think its abuse....but they pulled some strings for me and GM covered them.

at least they took care of it. I've done tons of the colums on the balts for the p/s going out, and for the bump noise........I've been lucky enough to have no problems with my car so far :knocks on wood:
