| Upon finding out that the is a recall call on my 1990 geo storm that affect the seat seat belts and air bag the manufacture and dealership both refused to rush the parts needed to affect the repairs and told me that if i wished to drive the car with all the retraint systems in the front under recall it was my own problem and they wouldn't even ship the parts by air. my safety isn't worth air frieght. the car is illegal to operate on the streets with defective seatbeltsl this safety recall is in my opinion not being dealt with in a timely matter to insure my safety . *ak | |||
