I WAS FORCED TO MAKE REPAIRS TO IGNITION SYSTEM THAT CHEVROLET REFUSED TO COVER. MY COST TO DEALER $969.61 I WAS TOLD BY GM TO WAIT FOR A RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT AND SEEK REIMBURSEMENT AT THAT TIME. ON 8/12 GM ISSUED A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THESE AFFECTED PARTS. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING BACK FROM GM CONCERNING MY CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT. IS GM OBLIGATED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS REPAIR THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED HAD THE ISSUED A PROMPT RECALL ON MY VEHICLE? *TR
