I received a recall letter in the mail in regards to this problem and i contacted dealership and they stated that no further action is required at this time and that they are waiting on second letter for further instructions. In the mean time, my car is not fixed and the repair is very expensive. In need of help and i was out of town vacationing with family leaving orlando florida when this issue occured on the highway causing slow up in traffic. This could have resulted in a crash. |
