RE: 14350 UNINTENDED IGNITION KEY ROTATION. I HAVE TRIED 3 SEPARATE TIMES, OVER THE PAST YEAR, TO HAVE THIS TAKEN CARE OF BY CALLING CRIPPEN AUTO, LANSING, MI. THE FIRST TIME I DID NOT HAVE THE VIN NUMBER. OK. THE NEXT THREE TIMES I WAS SENT TO SERVICE VOICE MAIL. I HAVE LEFT A MESSAGE EACH TIME REGARDING THIS RECALL. NOT ONCE HAS ANYONE RETURNED MY CALL. TODAY MY HUSBAND IS PHYSICALLY GOING DOWN THERE TO TRY AND GET A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. I AM TIRED OF TRYING TO DEAL WITH THIS DEALERSHIP.
