I brought my car brand new with only 2miles on my car. I have a 2006 G6 and I have 26,000miles on my car and today I had to replace my steering gear / core on my car. My car is new, why am I replacing a steering gear on a car with less miles on it? also, after researching on line, I notice that it was a recall on the airbags and I was never notified.
