I took my vehicle into the dealership for a recall months ago and it still isn't fixed. it states in the recall letter it should take about two hours to complete. it's even been transferred to another dealership to try to be fixed. i've been given loaner cars that do not meet the standards of my current vehicle by model or by dependability. i wish to clear up this matter as quickly as possible now. i have a family and other responsibilities to tend to. this has been a very stressful, traumatic experience and i need assistance in clearing this matter up once and for all please.

I got into my car which was parked inside my house garage. i put the car in reverse and moved about 1 to 2 feet back - but had to stop the car as my brother wanted to get into the car. i put the car in "park". as he was getting into the passenger side of the car i started to get out of the car as i wanted to get a towel on my garage shelf. however, before my brother could close the door the car started rolling backwards out of the garage. i was already out of the car when it was moving backwards so i could not get back into the driver's seat -so instead i reach down and pressed the brake pedal with my hand. but it was too late. the passenger door got caught on the garage wall and was bent backwards. the passenger door is now damaged, bent in two places and does not closed correctly.
