THEY DO NOT REALLY WANT TO TAKE THEM IN TRADE SINCE THEY CAN NOT SELL A RELIABLE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL: I WANT TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR BUT BECAUSE THIS RECALL IS LISTED ON IT FOR SO LONG A PERIOD NOW, NO DEALERSHIP IS WILLING TO OFFER ME ANY AMOUNT CLOSE TO WHAT MY CAR WOULD BE VALUED OTHERWISE AS A TRADE-IN. THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THE FACT THAT I AM BEING SEVERELY FINANCIALLY PUNISHED BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL. WE ARE TALKING MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS HERE. I VERY MUCH WANT TO KNOW MY LEGAL RIGHTS IN THIS MATTER. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT DEALERS ARE PURPOSELY USING THIS AS A WAY TO PRESSURE POTENTIAL BUYERS LIKE MYSELF INTO DUMPING THEIR VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY FEEL HELPLESS IN THIS SITUATION. I ANXIOUSLY AWAIT A REPLY AND A SOLUTION TO THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
