I received two recall notices and i went to the dealer three times to have the car serviced. Every time i returned for my appointment i was advised that the part is not in and they would call me when it was available. Because this occurrence happened more than one time i feel they are not trying to resolve my issue. Because of the safety hazard i would like to get this fixed immeadiately.
