| I bought this car used at a dealership, i.e., bill kelley chevrolet, and was not given information about the recalls . the car has not been able to work properly and the dealer who sold us the car refuses to give us any help. my son paid an additional 300 to get the car in working order and 3 days later it is still not working. i believe they should have informed us of the recall notices to repair said car.*ak | |||
