NHTSA complaint #10243183, filed 2008-09, 151,000 miles

“1998 Isuzu Oasis: car stalled, would not restart, repaired at local service station for ignition switch, this switch is a recall campaign #02v120000 on 5-16-2002 (Isuzu did not notify me of this recall). The local repair station is who informed me of the recall. When I called a local Isuzu dealer in bedford, ohio, they would not repair the switch under this recall. Therefore I had to get it repaired at the local service station costing me $334.16. I am filing a complaint again Isuzu and would like to be reimbursed as this should have been covered under this recall. Thank you, margie mazur”
