“Daimler-chrysler has issued a recall (#729) on Dodge shadows involving the bolt in the driver's seat back. The car was taken on 10/12/00 to crystal auto mall at 220 rte. 22 west, green brook, nj to fix the problem. They took the car in while I waited, and brought it out after 20 minutes, gave me a receipt and told me the job was done. Today, it is 10/21/00 and I decided to look at the replacement bolt only to find that the original is still in it's place. I was issued a receipt, and was told the problem was fixed. …”
