Daimler-chrysler has issued a recall (#729) on dodge shadows involving the bolt in the driver's seat back. the car was taken on 10/12/00 to crystal auto mall at 220 rte. 22 west, green brook, nj to fix the problem. they took the car in while i waited, and brought it out after 20 minutes, gave me a receipt and told me the job was done. today, it is 10/21/00 and i decided to look at the replacement bolt only to find that the original is still in it's place. i was issued a receipt, and was told the problem was fixed. clearly, i have been a victim of fraud from a very large auto dealer who has compromised my safety, my family's safety, and those on the roads who might collide with me if the recalled item were to fail while driving because of the stupidity and negligence of an auto dealer. please look into this and if you need you can call me or my son hugo capello at work at (732) 667-2081. thank you. | |||
