Your air conditioning system has been leaking and not cooling for years. You believe your car should be covered under a special warranty recall for evaporator core icing issues, but your VIN was apparently excluded from the recall notice despite being eligible. A mechanic has diagnosed a faulty evaporator coil as the cause. The fix will likely involve replacing the evaporator core and potentially reprogramming related systems.

Your check engine light came on when you started your car, and you noticed dark blue smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. Your husband used OnStar diagnostics and found an emission system failure. You also reported fluid leaking from underneath the car and steering noise when turning the wheel. The dealer scheduled a diagnostic appointment, but the vehicle hasn't been diagnosed or repaired yet.
