I need to address a serious issue regarding the car I purchased in 2020 from a private vendor. Upon taking the car to Crown Dodge Dealership in Ventura County for repair, I had to pay roughly $700 out of pocket for the service and rented a car from Hertz for the days I was without my car. However, upon receiving the car back, it still had unresolved issues with the electrical components and dashboard noise. It is unacceptable that the manager at the dealership did not prioritize my safety or the quality of the car I purchased. Since this car is my sole mode of transportation, I demand a prompt resolution to this matter. I expect immediate assistance in addressing these concerns. Thank you.
I have received a letter about an airbag safety recall. I went to dealership to get it fixed. The dealer said that they not going to fixed it because my car got to a car accident before, so they could not perform recall due to airbag deployed. The lady said no dealership will fixed it. I want to know if I am going to get any credit so that I can get it fixed, or am I going to be the one who is going to pay to fix it out of my pocket. Please feel free to contact me at [xxx] or [xxx] please see the attachment. Thank you. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
On December 11, 2019, my son was about to leave for work when the horn starting blowing in the car and wouldn't stop. The car was stationary. After about 4 minutes it stopped. I took the car to supreme Chevrolet in plaquemine where I purchase the car from. The car was checked out and told that I was going to need another horn, they had ordered one and it should be in in about 3 days. When I went to the service area to pick up the car, the guy told me that the horn and airbag had been taken out and they had put something around the stirring wheel to hold it down until the horn can be replaced. I have checked back multiple times and they are still saying they cannot locate the horn for my car. It's very dangerous to drive a car without a horn and an airbag. Today is October 23, 2020 and I have yet to get a horn and airbag for the car.

My passenger airbag dash light has been on for several months and I have seen recalls online but when I put in my VIN it says there is no recall. I purchased the car in February 2015 but the light came on in 2017 and my mechanic said there was a recall but when I called the dealership they said there has not been a recall. I have been checking for a recall specifically for my car but I still have not seen it, even though the year and model of my car has had a recall and I am curious as to why.
