DT: THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN 6-2005. CONCERNING TRANS AXLE/FLOOR SHIFTER/IGNITION PARK INTERLOCK. SHE WAS WAITING TO GET THE RECALL REPAIRS DONE WHEN THE DEALER REPOSSED THE CAR ON 7-20-2005. SHE TOLD DEALER ABOUT THE RECAL, AND DEALER WAS NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE RECALL. IF SOMEONE ELSE BOUGHT VEHICLE HE COULD GET IT FIXED. CONSUMER WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE SHE WAS AFRAID THAT SOMEONE WITH CHILDREN WILL BUY THE CAR AND NOT BE AWARE OF THE RECALL. *AK
