Consumer Description

TWO MONTHS AGO WHEN I USED MY TURN SIGNAL SMOKE BEGAN TO COME FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. ANYTIME I USE THE TURN SIGNAL NOW IT SMOKES. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TRIED TO GET THE PART BUT EVERYONE HAS TOLD US THAT IT WILL MOST LIKELY TAKE 6 MONTHS. I DO NOT WANT TO PUT MY FAMILIES SAFETY ON THE LINE LIKE THAT. GM SEEMS TO NOT BE TAKING THE STITUATION AS SERIOUSLY AS THEY SHOULD BE.
