THANKS GUYS, I WILL contact GM. However, I am not the original owner of the car. This was a "program" car that I purchased. I purchased it in ?04 at 26,000 miles. It is now at 93,000. Is that still acceptable for the "goodwill" program?
I have appointment on Monday for this repair so will be watching this thread!
Thanks all for your help!
Makes a lady feel better knowing she?s not getting "snowed" on a repair!
