ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL DEALER, MY CAR'S IGNITION MODULE WAS REPLACED AS A RESULT OF A RECALL. LAST WEEK MY CAR SHUT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING 55MPH WHICH IS THE EXACT PROBLEM CAUSING THE ORIGINAL RECALL.

IT IS POSSIBLE THE PROBLEM WITH THE NEW IGNITION MODULE IS THE SAME AS THE OLD ONE? OR IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT EVER PERFORMED IN SPITE OF WHAT MY DEALER S
