“Driver's side replaced 4/99 same proble GM notified and fixed free due to the fact that it was a safety problem; now they refuse to fix the passenger side due to the fact that there is 90,000 miles on vehicle; as far as I'm concerned it is still a safety issue regardless of mileage. I had 64,000 miles on vehicle when driver's side was replaced in 1999.”
