I HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND THAT MY VEHICLE FALLS IN THE COMPLETE DISCRIPTION OF THE RECALL . I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THEREFOR THERES NOTHING GM CAN DO FOR ME . I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL GM DEALER AND MY PROBLEM WAS CONFIRMED BY THERE TECHNICIAN . HOWEVER IT APPEARS THAT THE PART TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE THUS LEAVING ME WITH THE BURDON OF POTENTIALLY HAVING TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE . I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A CAR MANUFACTURER CAN NOT PROVIDE SOME FORM OF REPAIR OPTION AND SUPPORT FOR A VEHICLE THEY SELL TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
