Description of the problem	There is currently a recall on the same year make and model of my car, yet my car is not cover. I was told that my car was not included because it was manufactured in a different area. However i am having the same issue that is caused by the recall on the part that is currently out. I wanted to file a formal complaint because the cost to have this part fixed not affordable for me at this moment and i feel it is unjust that i have to pay the out of pocket expenses seeing that there is a known problem regarding this part and this issue with this make and model car.
