“I purchased the vehicle new on 3/17/17. A saftey recall (16v479) had previously been issued for the vehicle back in june 2016. The dealer sold me the vehicle even though it was under a stop-sale recall in violation of the motor vehicle safety act. A few days after purchasing the vehicle, the dealer asked me to take it in for warranty work. I have not had use of the vehicle for the week since and am being told that it may take 2 more weeks for the repair work to be completed. …”
