I CALLED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT HENDRICK CHEV BUICK GMC, 12050 W BROAD ST., RICHMOND, VA 23233 ON JUNE 29TH AND CARRIED MY VEHICLE IN. THEY WOULD NOT LOOK AT IT TO SEE IF IT NEEDED THE PART SINCE THEY HAD TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER JULY 1ST. I WENT BACK AGAIN AND THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THE PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AS OF TODAY THEY STATE THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART. WHY CAN'T THEY GET THE PART?

I GOT NOTIFIED OF A RECALL AFFECTING THE LOWER CONTROL ARM OF THE CAR IN APRIL. ON JUNE 1ST I HAD AN APPOINTMENT AT DON MEALEY CHEVROLET (CLERMONT, FL) TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AND THEY FOUND THAT BOTH LOWER ARM CONTROLS OF THE CAR WERE AFFECTED. THEY CLAIMED TO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND THEY WOULD BE ORDERED. I CALLED TO FOLLOW UP MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS TOLD THEY STILL DIDN'T HAVE THEM. ON AUGUST 7TH I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND I WAS TOLD THE RECALL IS NOW 'DANGEROUS' AND THEY HAVE HAD PEOPLE IN LOANERS FOR UP TO 6 WEEKS NOW. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK TO SEE IF THEY HAD THE PARTS THAT DAY. THE MAN SAID THEY DID AND THAT THEY WOULD REPAIR IT THAT DAY. HE THEN CAME BACK AND SAID THEY CAN'T FIND THE PARTS SO THEY HAVE TO GIVE ME A LOANER. NO ONE EVER CALLED TO SAY THAT MY CAR'S RECALL WAS DANGEROUS AND I SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT DESPITE THEM ALREADY DOING THE INSPECTION BACK IN JUNE. I NOW HAVE A LOANER AND NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL REPAIR THE 'DANGEROUS' CAR I WAS DRIVING FOR MONTHS.

ON 7/11/19 I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT MY CAR WAS UNDER RECALL. RECALL #A182202370. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED AND FOUND NOT TO BE IMPACTED BY THE RECALL AND I LEFT. ON 7/19/19 MADE A U-TURN IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT, I HEARD A LOUD CRACK AND THEN HAD A HARD TIME STEERING THE VEHICLE. THE RIGHT-SIDE PASSENGER TIRE OF THE VEHICLE HIT THE CURB AND THEN THE TIRES WERE TURN SIDEWAYS. I CALLED AND HAD MY CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I ASSUMED THE PROBLEM HAD TO DO WITH THE RECALL. THE SERVICE MANAGER FROM THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME TO INFORM ME THAT THERE WAS $2200 IN DAMAGE AND THAT THE RECALL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACCIDENT, THEY SUGGESTED I CALL MY INSURANCE COMPANY. MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE ON 6/30/19, WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UDDER THE RECALL. AFTER NOT HEARING FROM THE DEALERSHIP I CALLED THEM ON AUGUST 2ND AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WOULD BE READY ON 8/5 OR 6. PRIOR TO CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP, MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER TOLD ME THAT THE DEALERSHIP RE-TESTED MY VEHICLE WITH A SPECIAL TOOL AND FOUND IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT THEY WOULD BE REPLACING AT LEAST ONE OF THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS. I ASKED MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONTACT ABOUT THE RE-TEST AND THE REPLACEMENT OF THE LOWER CONTROL ARM AND SHE INDICATED SHE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A NEW TOOL AND THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER DECIDED TO CHANGE BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS AS A COURTESY AND SHE ALSO MAINTAINED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER RECALL. I WENT ON TO THIS WEBSITE TO FIND OUT THAT THERE IS 1 UNADDRESSED RECALL. I AM CONTACTING YOU BECAUSE I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT TELLING ME THE TRUTH ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT AND NEED MY CAR TO GET AROUND AND IT HAS BEEN IN THEIR POSSESSION SINCE JULY 19TH.
