Since beginning of 2011 the steering wheel starts shaking and vibrating when I start the car. In march 2011 I went to pepboys and they said it might be a problem with the motor. Beginning of april I started the car and a lot of white thick smoke came out of the exhaust emission so I drove back to pepboys. They figured it might be a problem with the gasket or even gasket head which was the following week confirmed by the gm dealer. The is only 3 years old and has only 28000 miles!
