Prior to purchase, the recall and possible problem existed. I was led to believe that the problem was corrected. If it was in fact corrected, shouldn't my vehicle not be on the recall list or was it just repaired on paper, in order to conclude the sale.

My wife is 5'3" and needs to adjust her seating position close to the steering wheel in…
