IN APRIL 2002 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TEH RECALL INFORMATION PROCESSING CENTER, ROYAL OAK, MI IN REGARDS TO A DEFECT WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. WHEN I CHECKED THE INTERNET "NHTSA" I FOUND OUT THAT IN FACT THIS WAS NOT THE ONLY RECALL ON MY CAR. THE IS ALSO AN AIRBAG, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND MUD FLIP KIT RECALL. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO REPAIR ALL THESE DEFECTS. THE NEXT DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING ROUGH AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL AND THAT THE RECALL FOR THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" WAS FIXED THE DAY BEFORE AND I HAVE TO PAY IF I WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THAT LIGHT TO COME ON. I AM NOT SATISFIED AT ALL. FIRST...
