| Description of the problem | 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. |
