My vehicle is less than 20 days from the recall date and has the same identical issue. The recall is still affecting other vehicles close to the september 10 the, 2010. I truly need help for this, i am a single mother with no child support from the father, i can't afford to fix this issue. I am under stress everyday for the safety of my vehicle. Please, i am begging for help and would appreciate if you can investigate how close in time the make of my vehicle is to the recall date.
