NHTSA RECALL 00 V 189 000/ MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 00065-S/CRABLE BOLTS: DEALER: KING OROURKE CADILLAC OLDSMOBILE; LYNBROOK,NY; PHONE# 516/593-6420 REFUSED TO HONOR RECALL BECAUSE STRUCTURE AROUND CRADLE BOLTS HAVE SEVERELY RUSTED OUT. DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE CONSUMER TO REPLACE THAT STRUCTURE BEFORE RECALL REPAIRS COULD BE DONE. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

RECALL WAS NOT DONE PROPERLY. REPAIRS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER DEALERSHIP DISTRICT MANAGER REFUSES TO REPAIR CAR. CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY TRIED TO GET THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR. MANAGER IS STATING THAT YES THE RECALL STATES THAT THE BOLTS CAN PULL THROUGH THE FRAME BUT SAYS THAT THE FRAME PULLED FROM THE BOLTS. COPY OF PAPER FROM SAME DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE BOLTS PULLED THROUGH THE FRAME. DEALERSHIP MADE ME DRIVE CAR OFF OF THEIR LOT IN AN UNDRIVABLE CONDITION WITHOUT ADVISING ME THAT IT COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. GENERAL MOTORS SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT YOU REGARDING THIS MATTER. THEY ALSO AGREE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS THE REASON FOR THE RECALL. NOW THE ENGINE HAS TILTED TO THE SIDE OF THE RIGHT FRAME AND EARL OLSMOBILE REFUSES TO TRY TO REPAIR THE RECALL ON WARRENTED PARTS.*AK
