GM AND DEALERSHIP VISTA CHEVROLET IN LAS VEGAS, NV REFUSED REPAIRS OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS AS REQUIRED BY PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN BULLETIN NO. 98043 DATED SEPTEMBER 1998. IF THEY ARE CORRECT THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THIS SAFETY RECALL, THEN THE SCOPE OF THE 1998 RECALL WAS TOO NARROW, AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE FAILURE OF THIS SAME PART IN OUR VEHICLE. WE FINALLY PAID AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART IN DECEMBER, 2000. GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO EXPAND THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL TO INCLUDE OURS AND SIMILAR VEHICLES.*AK
