Hello I am concerned that my vehicle has had a recall on it and I was not aware of it I was asked to get in touch with you all on Saturday when the keys to my Saturn would not start my vehicle , it is a used vehicle, the only car I have to get to and from work ,when I purchased this vehicle there was nothing wrong with it and still nothing is wrong except that igniton,. I purchased it 05-09-13, I am unable to get to work without it. Now I understand that there was in fact a recall on this vehicle on parts of it, now the part I need repaired is my ignition and I see where that is part of you all repair agreement and I was wondering could you all repair it? my vehicle was working fine up until Saturday morning when I drove my vehicle to the local grocery store her in our town and all, I had got in my vehicle and put key in ignition and it wouldn't start, this happened when I came out of grocery store, the key wouldn't budge, therefore I tried other key that I have to the car and it wouldn't budge, I then panicked and called neighbor who checks my vehicle from time to time , now mind you we are in the grocery stores parking lot it was cold and slightly windy, he came out checked engine alternator and battery it was neither , therefore he used a method to get key inside and turn , which he stated that the tumbler inside the ignition had dropped , which it took the column off the igniton area and stated that I not remove key from car if I wanted to drive it ,that was not what I wanted to hear, I was hurt it is the only vehicle I can afford at this present time I had to get him to get it to my house , and have not drove it , now I have to work and without my vehicle I have no one to take me to and from work so if you can will u please see if you can repair my vehicle. I wil be greatly appreciated.
