“On thursday, may 18, 2000, I filed a complaint with NHTSA regarding a recall that was issued for 1988 chevrolets berettas. I tried to talk to gmc and the Chevrolet dealer near my house about fixing the latch on the car, it was bent. I had no luck and was told that my VIN # was not one of the ones that were recalled. I was going to take the car into a shop that saturday to try to get the latch fixed. I had to work the next day and since the hood wouldn't close all the way, I strapped it down. …”
