The shift linkage came disconnected from the transmission. I has unable to change gears. I looked on the NHTSA site and found that the car was recalled for this exac problem. I had asked the dealer about such a recall several years ago. They denied and continue to deny that such a recall exists. After I brought my car to the dealer for repair, they called to have me pick up my car. They then mentioned that they have to get parts and I will have to bring the car back. I informed that I did not feel safe driving the car with a saftey related recall that was not fixed. I am frustrated that the dealer and manufecturer continue to deny that the vehicle was recalled and try to have me drive the unrepaired vehicle.
