Like so many, I had to replace my fuel tank because of holes rusted in it ($500 cost to me). Even after NHTSA "studied" the issue for 10 months, they apparently determined that having gasoline spill out onto the road is not a safety concern for consumers. If this is true, then there is no reason to call the haz mat team in to clean it up, because ray lahood has determined that there is no risk of fire and the contamination of ground water is of no public concern? the tread act states that if a defect is hidden to mislead NHTSA, the company is subject to a $15,000,000 fine. If there is a death or grievous injury as a result, the penalty includes 15 years in prison (a ri woman sustained such an injury) why is ray lahood, david strickland and larry hershman so reckless with human life as to not enforce this law? why can they decide which consumers should be covered by consumer protections under the law and which ones should sooner die in a ball of flame? how can the hr department of a company threaten employees with termination if they refuse to cover up a tread act criminal violation that could, and I quote (charr occupants beyond recognition) all without consequence in spite of the letter and spirit of the law. This failure to corrosion protect is the same decision that killed a coast guard veteran in mass when the axel broke on his windstar. Another tread violation meriting prison time, but NHTSA is again either too corrupt or too inept to its job. Likewise, the recent string of brake failure due to line corrosion is due to the same decision. How can anyone not know that these present risks to human life? how can anyone have so little regard for human life to seemingly run a protection racket like NHTSA seems to be, yet claim to be acting in the interest of the public and consumers?.
