Consumer Description

DT: THE CONTACT HAD THE SPRING FOR THE TIMING BELT REPLACED. LATER, SHE FOUND NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 00V134000 CONCERNING TIMING BELT. WHEN CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER SHE WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED, AND SHE WAS REIMBURSED FOR RECALL REPAIR WORK COMPLETED PREVIOUSLY. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY WAS NOT WORKING, AND THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE RECALL REPAIR WORK HAD NOT ACTUALLY BEEN DONE. HE STATED A KIT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE SHE WAS ALREADY REIMBURSED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR HER. *AK
