I WAS NOTIFIED AT THE END OF APRIL THAT THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THE BACKSEAT SEATBELTS POSSIBLY SEPARATING IN THE EVENT OF A FRONTAL CRASH. I WAS PROVIDED WITH A COURTESY VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR OVER 2 MONTHS WHILE STILL PAYING FOR MY VEHICLE THAT SITS IN A DEALERSHIP LOT AWAITING A FIX. I CONTINUE TO BE TOLD THAT THERE IS NOT YET A FIX FOR THIS RECALL. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE TO NOT HAVE IDENTIFIED A FIX OR MADE PARTS AVAILABLE TO RECTIFY THIS MATTER. AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE AN ALTERNATIVE TO THIS MATTER.
