This issue started about 3 months ago. Second is my clock time both on the dashboard and the one where the radio/GPS shows it goes crazy from time to time. I just didn't know it was something we could report. This has been happening for about 2-3 years. When it happens it's always when I first…

   I told the dealership that there were recalls on my car, but because they can’t find it in the system they’re saying that there are no recalls. I did check the NHTSA website and the recalls are still not showing up, but AAA has me down for five recalls. I have all the information on them. I would like the dealership to at least look into them because I don’t feel safe driving my car..
