| I am financially obligated to past due bills; however i am trying to keep up with the car problems, i didn't know if there was any recall on this car! as mentioned i was given a fine of $50.00 for expired tags by about a week; i would have went to mva if given a warning for renewal! with all of the expenses in a car is there any way to get some work done without being indebted to a high priced mechanic? economics should not play a part for safety of a car; should have ways to help economically disadvantaged. please read out of concern and not to be used against me but for the safety of my family and to help others who want a safe vehicle but can't afford all of the high bills.f. no safety defect mentioned . *ak | |||
