I'm NOT a lawyer. However, I'd suggest that you contact your state attorney general's consumer protection agency.
There's a website, I think by the National Transportaion Safety commission that lets consumers post feedbacks on vehiclles and lists recalls. A yahoo search by "vehicle safety recalls" or "national Transporation Safety" might pull up the web site. Ask your mechanic or public librarian about those sites.
Good luck.
Let me know your results.
