I WAS NOTIFIED EARLY MARCH THAT MY CAR WAS PART OF A RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH, SAFETY RECALL 13454. IT INDICATED PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE BEINGING IN APRIL 2014. I AM SERIOUSLY DISTURBED THAT IT IS STILL NOT FIXED AS I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND HAVE MISSED NUMEROUS DOCTOR'S AND PHYSICAL THERAPY APPOINTMENTS FOR FEAR OF TAKING THE CAR OUT. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL THE DIRECTIONS TO THE LETTER, TAKING ALL ITEMS FROM MY KEY RING. AS NOTED IT IS A SERIOUS RISK TO ME AND MY HEALTH AND MY STATE OF MIND. I WANT TO KNOW WHEN MY CAR WILL BE REPAIRED AS I HAVE CALLED FINDLAY CHEVROLET AND THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE SAME OLD STORY, "PARTS ARE NOT IN YET!!" IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO HAVE TO WAIT FOR SUCH A LONG TIME TO BE ABLE TO HAVE PEACE AND COMFORT BACK IN MY LIFE. *TT
