Had a recall on the ignition lock on my chevy cobalt. Letter said it would be repaired at no cost which I verified when I dropped my car off for service. Chevy dealership is trying to make me pay $37.40 for a new key becuase my key no longer works now that they put the new parts in. Are they scamming me?

pushrod November 12, 2012, 15:38MasterNo cost is NO COST!! I would not pay one dime. Do you still have the letter? Read it again and make sure it said no cost.
Take it to the dealer and ask them to explain why you owe for any parts. Should be a phone number on the letter to call, call it!Flag ThisLike0 -
