I have called the dealerships in my area for a recall repair because my car inspection indicated that my vehicle has three dangerous safety recalls. I have a young child and a family to support but I am afraid, because of the fire hazard that one of my recalls contains, to even drive the car with my family in it to food shopping and work.

I purchased this vehicle approximately 2 years ago. Since I bought it, the brakes have been "soft." in order to come to a complete stop I have to press the brake pedal to the floor. It feels squishy. While I am stopped, the car wants to creep forward if I release the pedal even the smallest amount from the floor. I have had the brakes bled once with no improvement. This has been going on for as long as I have owned the vehicle.
