2010-2011 Nissan Sentra Recall - 33,803 Cars Affected
I recently bought a 1999 Grand Am. The headlights are horrible. I’ve tried contacting Sabersport by phone regarding the recall on the headlights and the # that’s listed is a fax #. I need my lights fixed ASAP because they are putting me in danger every time I drive at night. Please contact me.
I have a 1999 Chevy malibu and a 1996 GMC Van both are under the recall I have tried to make contact with no success. If some can help me that would be greatly appreciated
