Description of the problem	I was at a stop light on 225 and chambers and when the light turned green as soon as a hit the gas my entire dashboard went blank. I no longer had light and my gauges were not responding either. After doing some research i seen some forums about the recall so i call the manufacturer and was told that even though acknowledged as a safety concern the recall was closed june 2011. I purchased the car june 2010 and no one reached out. I have only one car and i can not drive it because i cant see the speed or if i even have gas. I have kids and like everyone else i work but i can not afford to pay $1800. 00 to fix this and i shouldnt have to. I cant understand how a safety recall can expire. Seems as if there is no true regard to safety.
