I had a recall performed on vehicle last year at martin dodge in bowling green, ky. After getting the services rendered I noticed several problems. One was that the turn signals were no longer operable, automatic transmission would not shift past second gear and would miss gears repeatedly, and ABS brakes failed. Also noticed that suspension was worse after they performed suspension recalls. I have tried on several occasions to contact the dealership and they only suggested that I bring it for a diagnostic at my cost, even though the problems existed after getting the recalls fixed. I incurred court cost of $166.00 because of improper equipment and the buy, here, pay here lot was requesting $2,280 for a car that I had no choice but to junk it because no being able to pass inspection for the road. I would appreciate anything you could do to aid in me absorbing the cost of this situation.
