MY CAR WAS INSPECTED FOR A RECALL ISSUE ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO. I BOUGHT THE CAR ONLY 7 MONTHS AGO. RECENTLY, IT BROKE DOWN BECAUSE OF THE RECALL ISSUE AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT COVER THE COSTS FOR REPAIR BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT THE RECALL HAD BEEN COMPLETED WHEN ACTUALLY THE CAR WAS ONLY INSPECTED (NO PARTS REPLACED). WHAT IF A SHORT TIME AFTER IT WAS INSPECTED, THE PROBLEM STARTED TO OCCUR? I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS RECALL WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR AND I THINK THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD COVER THE COSTS. I THINK I AM BEING CHEATED OUT OF MONEY AND FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CAR. DON'T MANUFACTURERS WANT TO KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS SATISFIED AND MAKE SURE THAT THEIR CARS ARE SAFE?
