I GAVE MY CASE NUMBER AND THE TECHNICIAN FOUND ME IN THEIR SYSTEM AND SUPPOSEDLY WAS GOING TO ORDER THE RECALL PARTS BASED ON MY CASE NUMBER. ON 6/9/2016 I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT ANNAPOLIS DEALER AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID, OH WELL I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR PARTS SITUATION. I CALLED BACK AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AGAIN AND THEY WANTED TO PUT ME IN HIS VOICE MAIL AND I YELLED BACK THAT I'VE ALREADY LEFT HIM MESSAGES TO CALL ME WHICH HE HAS NOT DONE YET SO WHY WOULD I WANT TO LEAVE YET ANOTHER MESSAGE?! I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE OVERALL DEALERSHIP MANAGER AND WAS INFORMED OH HE'S NOT IN. I CALLED THE CORPORATE ACURA CUSTOMER RELATIONS GAVE THEM MY CASE NUMBER AND THEY TRANSFERED ME TO A DEPARTMENT THAT INFORMED ME THAT THEY DON'T HANDLE THE RECALLS AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO TRANSFER ME TO THE RIGHT DEPARTMENT. I YELLED AGAIN, WHAT IS GOING ON?! I AM BEING GIVEN THE RUN AROUND WITH A DANGEROUS RECALL STILL UNRESOLVED. THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO KILL ME.
