We took our vehicle in to the authorized dealer on may 21, 2003 because the check engine light came on & didn't go off. They said they checked it & they thought we had left the gas cap off & caused the light to come on & charged us $55 for that information. In september of 2004, we received a letter explaining a recall on our vehicle citing the check engine light coming on & staying. We took the letter along with the vehicle into lipscomb auto group & they looked at the letter & said the VIN# did not match our vehicle & they would do nothing. It states in the letter that if you saw the dealer before 2004 about the problem, they should fix it. It is 2005 now, the check engine light is still on. Luckily, we have not had a fire or burned wires, but no guarantee that it won"t happen at sometime. Can you help us with this? Our VIN# is [xxx]. No, it is not listed in the VIN#'s, but it does have a problem with the check engine light & has had since 2003. *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
