Toyota has lots of headaches this time with the potential deadly airbags. After it has recalled approximately six million more vehicles worldwide over defective Takata air bag inflators, bringing the total number of vehicles recalled to more than 23 million, it had to face another problem. A California woman died last month because of the faulty inflators- and it's one of the eleven victims in the U.S.. Used car dealers can sell vehicles with open safety recalls legally, even though many consumers may be unaware of the cars’ dangers. But now one dealership owner is taking ...
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said it is recalling 1.9 million vehicles worldwide for an airbag defect that is linked to three deaths and five injuries. The aim of this recall is to resolve a defect that may prevent deployment of airbags and seat-belt pretensioners in some crashes. The recall includes models sold between 2010 and 2014, including the Chrysler Sebring, 200, Dodge Caliber, Avenger, Jeep Patriot and Compass SUVs. The data shows that about 1.4 million of the vehicles covered by the recall are in the U.S. Another 142,959 units are in Canada. The recall is the latest in a seri...
After GM finally admitted that 3.64 million vehicles in the U.S. are equipped with airbags, which could possibly not deploy, a large recall of it has started.

Of course, there are still some circumstances which remain as a mystery to us, for example why they have found out about the proble...
Volkswagen has a lot to worry about with respect to its diesel-emissions cheating scandal. On the civil side, it’s already anticipating divvying out $15 billion to make right with regulators, states, and customers over hundreds of thousands of diesel vehicles that contain a software-based cheat allowing them to emit many times the permissible amount of nitrogen oxide. While the settlement with U.S. regulatory authorities largely resolved VW's obligations to the federal government, the automaker also faces potential criminal charges relating to the use of emissions-cheating software i...
Important warning for owners of certain 2001-03 Honda and Acura vehicles: U.S. officials recommend them to stop driving their cars, because new data show the vehicles’ Takata airbag inflators have as much as a 50 percent chance of exploding in a crash. The warning applies more exactly to the 2001-02 Honda Civic and Accord, the 2002-03 Acura TL, 2002 Honda CR-V and Odyssey, 2003 Acura CL and 2003 Honda Pilot that were recalled from 2008-11 for Takata inflators that have not yet been repaired. The warning should be seriously taken into account especially because of...
