Consumer Description

MY CAR HAS HAD NUMEROUS RECALLS. MOST RECENTLY IT WAS MY STEERING WHEEL THAT WAS CLICKING AND FELT UNSTABLE... SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THAT IS HOW I FOUND OUT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH ENOUGH CARS IN THIS YR/MODEL THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED. I ALSO WAS GETTING JOLTED WHEN I SHIFTED GEARS. EVEN IF I WAS GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, I COULD BE SPONTANEOUSLY JARRED VERY VIOLENTLY. I HAD THAT REPAIRED AT A OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE AT THE DEALERSHIP. TODAY I SAW EVIDENCE ONLINE THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED FOR NO FEE. ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED 2 DAYS AGO, SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY SEE NO NECESSARY RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. YET, ONLINE IT SHOWS 1 RECALL ON MY CAR VIN# THAT IS OUTSTANDING BUT HAD "NO REMEDY YET" IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS NOTICE THAT AFFECTS THE AIRBAGS ON FRONT AND SIDE PLUS SEAT BELT RESTRAINING SYSTEM IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. SO I AM ESSENTIALLY DRIVING A VERY PRETTY COFFIN.
