Update: Watched and waited for any new oil spots. Nothing for awhile and then just a few days ago there was a brand new blackish spot. Not red. Not solid black. Steering still seems to be fine. Since I'd had all this replaced less than 60k miles ago, I called the Florida dealership to ask about warranty. 12/12 so no help there, although they did say the "expectation" was that it should last longer than 60k miles. Said I should contact GM Corp cust svc...maybe they would help. The dealer here pretty much said the same thing.
At this point... I'm seriously considering a second opinion from a larger dealership 30 miles away. Fresh eyes.
It does seem that the first rack/pinion lasted 203k miles, the second should have gone more than 60k.
Anyone have luck calling the GM Corp Cust Svc line or am I wasting my time?
Thanks
