First time I brought this in they said if it happenes again bring it back when they fixed it I had to pay for the part and labor they said there was no recall on my model of vehicle. But they said on other models there was a recall. It had cost me approximately 200 dollars to have this fixed, and now I see there was a recall. I never even got a letter from the manufacturer on this problem. Why? Why did I have to pay to fix it, if there was a recall.
