Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE IS CUTTING OFF IN RIGHT TURNS. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE DEALER I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO, HAS SAID THE HAVE PERFORMED THE RECALL SERVICE, YET IT IS STILL CUTTING OFF AND IDLING LOW IN THE TURNS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK 6 TO 7 TIMES AND THEY DON'T BELIEVE ME AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE CAR. *AK
