March 2005 Crash

Dealership failed to provide prompt repair of a fire hazard recall. I made an appointment as the recall requested for the speed control fire hazard, the dealership put at least four other vehicles ahead of mine and this is a small dealership. This was a work day for me, hence the appointment, and a repair that would take less than 15 minutes was looking to take a couple of hours.
