Recall repair has been ignored by dealership and manufacturer to date. I responded to the safety recall letter 7/2016 and nothing more than - no parts- no target date for parts-no there is no one who knows or can do anything more. Just have to wait. For what?? Until there is an injury or death. The alarm has been sounded - then no remedy available. The access on the top of the front dash has pulled apart and now…
