That is very interesting...I haven't seen that letter yet. I have seen the letter for the Malibu's and G6's and I don't recall them having the same wording.

A big thanks to MK Smith Chevrolet 12845 Central Ave. Chino, CA 91710 for completing this GM warranty replacement of the power steering motor in one hour. Free WiFi, coffee, comfortable waiting room. Another thanks to Chevrolet Care (here on the forum) folks who helped expedite this. A reference was made to special coverage 14119 and they also helped me make a quick appointment.

Steering motor
Had the power steering motor replaced under warranty and now the turn signals don't always shut off, could they do something to cause this?

Not likely but do call in to the dealership and advise them this problem has cropped up since they worked on it. Search turn signals for a thread or two about this new issue

I got a bunch of "extended warranty" letters from GM before the ignition switch became a "recall".
I haven't gotten anything from GM on the EPS yet, but I see it's probably only a matter of time. Don posted the link to the campaign reference.
Here's text of just the bulletins:
Looks like I might be covered for the life of the vehicle, rather than just 10yrs./120k. I'll believe it when I see it in writing.

Sounds like a "maybe possible" that when they did it, or fixed something on the column inside the cabin, that maybe it wasn't 100% returned to how it was...

P/s problem
My power steering went out while driving.The bell rang and the d.i.c. lit up, but still no advance warning. I called the dealer to see if they had the part and they did for $106. while I found it on line at GM parts direct for $60. I called the dealer back to cancel the order and the parts guy told me that this might be covered under a program as he has been passing them out a lot lately. He suggested I call the service department and talk to them. I gave them my vin and got a flat out NO its not covered. I called Chevy customer service and talked to one of CSR here on the web site and was told it was covered and she gave me the special coverage number. I called the dealer back got a different service writer and asked him if my car was covered. Again I got the NO! So I told him funny I just talked to GM/ Chevy and they said I was and gave him the program number. Suddenly his whole pattern changed to ,Well you might be covered,bring the car in and we will see! I have it scheduled for tomorrow!
