NHTSA Consumer
Information
If you believe that your vehicle has
a defect, which could cause a crash
or could cause death or personal
injury, you should immediately inform
the National Highway Trafc Safety
Administration (NHTSA) in addition to
notifying the vehicle manufacturer.
If NHTSA
receives similar complaints,
it may open an investigation, and
if it nds that a safety defect exists
in a group of vehicles, it may order
a recall and remedy campaign.
However, NHTSA cannot get involved
in individual problems between you,
your dealer, and vehicle manufacturer.
Contacting NHTSA
is possible through
telephone, written mail and email.
NHTSA also has a website where you
can input your comments directly to
them on the web. Please use any of
the four ways to contact NHTSA:
