“My car has broken down 3 times this year with the same problem. I had it repaired twice, then found out it had an open recall from 2000. I took it to the dealer yesterday, felt they dismissed my situation as I told them the car was doing exactly what the recall described and I was concerned it would happen again. I explained in detail about the 1st two repairs. My car broke down yesterday, after I left the dealer, and was once again undriveable. It is related to the crankshaft bolt. …”
