There have been 2 or 3 SBC recalls since I've had my car. Mine has gone in for all of them. My car is fine right now with the brakes, but I still feel a bit uneasy driving quickly.. The thought is always in the back of my mind now and I am hoping that will go away with time.

When I went to pick up my car, they didnt give me any paperwork.. My S.A. told me no worries and he would get in touch with me later on to "settle up" and would mail out the paperwork (I was in a rush to get back to a meeting). I purchased the 3yr/80K extended warranty at the same time for $4,100 but haven't paid for it as of yet...
