Pressure Builds on NHTSA and NHTSA Issues Special Order to Honda

“For 10 months, NHTSA has operated without a full-time director. David Strickland, the last man to hold the job, left the agency to work for a law firm that represents Chrysler. Three of his predecessors at NHTSA followed that same path to auto industry defender.

The Obama administration needs to get in gear and name a new director who has a strong background in consumer advocacy and who doesn’t see the job as a mere stepping stone to a more lucrative job in Detroit.”  See  http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/editorials/2014/11/03/registers-editorial-david-friedman-national-highway-traffic-safety-administration/18394701/

On October 15, 2014, the Center for Auto Safety petitioned NHTSA to refer the Honda airbag problem to the Justice Department for criminal investigation.  See attached and https://www.careforcrashvictims.com/blog-hondacriminal.php

Today, NHTSA issued a Special Order to Honda to answer questions under oath.  See attached NHTSA documents:

• AQ14-004 Hond EWR Failure
• AQ14-004 Hond EWR Failure Special Order

Signs of hope for change — for the better.
