See attached document for complaint. I'm writing to formally express my concern and disappointment regarding the excessive delay in resolving the recall issued for my vehicle. While I understand that safety recalls can involve complex logistics, the prolonged timeframe without any clear resolution has created both an inconvenience and a safety risk for me and other vehicle owners affected by the same issue.

We have contacted GM twice by phone using the number provided in the recall notice. During the first call, we were transferred to a dealer in Arizona- despite resid ing in Virginia. On our second call, on 8/2, we were informed that our case had been escalated and that we would be contacted within 24-48 hours. As of now, we have not received any return phone call. • Ongoing safety concerns: We are unable to drive the vehicle due to the risk of engine failure, which compromises our safety and that of others on the road.
