- Jonesboro , AR, USA
I brought my car to my mechanic for regular inspection. I have a strange noise in the steering base when I turn the wheel or apply the brakes. He told me it was in the steering column and my airbag light comes on and will not go off. I found that there was a recall for the brake pedal pushrod retainer and I went to the Buick dealership and they told me there was no problem, yet I have a vehicle history summary for it. How can I get it fixed if they deny it?
