Brakes failed. I am concerned with 3 recalls on major parts: ignition, power steering and brakes. I had to pay for a brake repair out of pocket because the car was totally unsafe to drive. I should get a refund. I have 3 recall letters and I am told the parts are unavailable. This is not safe. I need my car to drive 30 miles across town to work.
