WHILE MY 1994 CHRYSLER LHS WAS IN FOR SAFETY RECALL, THE TECHNICIAN FOUND SUBFRAME DAMAGE ON THE LEFT FRONT OF CAR. HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN LIKE THAT FOR SOME TIME. THE SAFETY RECALL CANNOT BE PERFORMED, UNTIL THE DAMAGE IS REPAIRED. THE ONLY ACCIDENT I HAD WITH THE CAR WAS IN 1996, WHILE I WAS INSURED BY CITIZENS. CITIZENS LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE, BUT CLAIMED THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN ANOTHER ACCIDENT, AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT MY CURRENT INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANOTHER ACCIDENT (ISN'T WHAT THEY ARE SUGGESTING -- FRAUD?). MY CURRENT INSURANCE COMPANY HAS ALSO WRITTEN TO CITIZENS, EXPLAINING THAT THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANOTHER ACCIDENT.*AK
