The U.S. Department of Transportation has a division called the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The job of the NHTSA is to protect you from safety defects in cars and any other related safety issues. So, Clark was astonished to hear that automakers no longer want to report safety issues to car dealerships, something that has been required by law for years. Automakers have been whining to politicians Washington D.C. about how much money it costs them to fix repairs. And, sadly, the DOT bought it. Automakers were able to convince politicians that they should be able to file a notice with the government about recalls without having to tell car dealerships about them. In other words, automakers can keep it a secret that there is a defect in their cars that could kill you and your family. Automakers are no longer going to have to take responsibility for defects in their cars. Clark wants to do something about this absurd decision. Therefore, every other week, Clark will put any recent auto recalls in the “Clark Said” newsletter for your convenience. If you see your car on the list, you will then have to tell your dealer because they won’t know anything about it. Clark can’t see how these people can sleep at night knowing they are deliberately putting people in danger. So, if you want to know about these recalls, sign up for the newsletter here. Another disturbing detail is that only one in three of us get our vehicles fixed after we hear about a recall in the mail. So, check the newsletter for any recalls, and GET THEM FIXED!
