vehicle has a recall for a few years already and dealer is saying that parts are not available.I have call multiple time and different dealers already and all of them have the same answer. time is passing by and Chevrolet Motor Company has not come with a solution to correct the problem.This make us feel unsafe to drive this vehicle. If they are not going to come to a solution to this recall and letting time pass for vehicle to get older and be junk out by the consumer so they can save a buck and sticky to the consumer once again. What is the purpose for the NHTSA get funded by the consumer if nothing will get done by Cherolet.
