NHTSA complaint #10730724, filed 2015-06, 43,800 miles

“Drivers village in new york sold me this vehicle without mentioning this recall and without disconnecting it to prevent a driver door fire. I received a letter in the mail about the recall soon after purchasing it. It was recalling the vehicle for the rear quarter vent window switch which could cause a fire in the driver-side door. This dealership is obviously looking for the deal with little to no interest in the safety of its customers. Please investigate this dealership to prevent them from potentially putting others in danger. Thank you for your time.”
