GM service bulletin, more needed
OK, folks, here is the service bulletin my parents have. I don't think it is enough for travlincub321's problems, tho' it's a start, at least.
If anybody here has a Chevy, Pontiac, Buick or Caddy from that period (2004-2006) and knows anything about steering recalls or has US access to a database on it, I bet he'd be forever thankful.
