“I purchased a gently used car from a chrysler dealership that had two open safety recalls. I was not informed of these recalls at the time of my purchase. It is my understanding that this is an offense against the NHTSA. Please feel free to contact me for further information. I hope this will never happen to anyone else buying from a so-called reputable dealer, as I thought I was.”
