Power steering failure in my 2005 chevy Cobalt.

In October 2008 while driving 15 mph my 2005 chevy Cobalt had a power steering failure which almost caused a collision with another vehicle. My vehicle jumped a curb, luckily no one was hurt. There was only 41 ,223 miles on the vehicle. I had to tow the vehicle to a gm Chevrolet dealership where they informed me that I had to pay $773. 81 to replace the steering column, because it was out of warranty. On March 3, 2010 after having accumulated 62,522 miles driven on my vehicle. I while driving to the store, started having steering problems. I noticed that the steering was becoming difficult to turn. Then I became aware (while watching the news that night ) that a recall on the electric steering motors for 2005 chevy Cobalts was issued. I contacted gm Chevrolet but was told I had to wait to receive a recall letter on my vehicle. I informed gm Chevrolet of my previous steering problem in 2008, but was offered little assistance. I was informed that if I wanted the vehicle inspected I would have to pay a diagnostic fee and I would have to pay for any repairs performed. I was made to wait a month for a recall letter. In my circumstances I think requiring me to pay for a diagnostic and repair on a vehicle which has a recall is unfair, considering I had a previous problem steering in 2008, before a recall was issued. I received the recall letter yesterday, and had the vehicle repaired today, but I couldn't drive the vehicle for the last month, because of the steering problem. Now they are stating that they will not reimburse me for the original repair that was done on 10/30/2008, even though another gm dealership informed me that it was the same problem, although in 2008 they replaced the whole steering columns which was the norm, but now the are correcting the steering problems by replacing the electric steering motor.
