MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT BLINKS OFF AND ON A FEW MINUTES AT A TIME AS I DRIVE FOR AS LONG AS I'M DRIVING. OTHER TIMES, IT WILL STAY ON FOR 30 MINUTES OR SO CONTINUOUSLY, THEN STAY OFF. OR, I CAN GO DAYS WITHOUT IT COMING ON. I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO EITHER DEPLOY FOR NO REASON WHILE I'M DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, OR NOT DEPLOY IF DO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. MY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON ALMOST EVERY TIME I STOP AT A LIGHT. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED BY A MECHANIC, AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM. MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAS OCCASIONALLY BEGUN "STICKING". USUALLY IT IS WHEN I HAVE ROLLED IT DOWN, IT DOES NOT WANT TO ROLL BACK UP. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO I HAVE NOT PAID TO HAVE IT HOOKED UP TO THE COMPUTER AT THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY ERROR CODES. THESE HAVE ALL STARTED HAPPENING IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS, AND ARE STEADILY GETTING WORSE. *TR

1AQ10001 · Fleet Vehicle Recall Completion Audit
Opened Nov 18, 2010 · Closed Dec 28, 2015
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Unknown Or Other
On November 18, 2010, NHTSA's Recall Management Division (RMD) opened an audit query (AQ10-001) to investigate recall remedy completion by rental car companies on safety recall campaigns.It was expected to provide the agency an indication of how completely and how quickly rental car fleets perform necessary recall-related remedies on the vehicles owned and then rented/leased for use on the roadways.RMD queried three (3) major motor vehicle manufacturers (Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors) and requested data regarding completion figures for fifteen (15) discreet safety recalls.Analysis of this data demonstrated that rental car recalls completion was neither complete nor consistent.The rental car companies representing the largest market share in the industry were then queried as to their respective policies for the rental, lease, and sale of vehicles with open recalls.The data and responses from the manufacturers and the rental car companies can be found in the document repository by accessing the ?Associated Documents link above.In December 2015, Congress enacted the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.One section of the Act prohibits rental car companies from renting, leasing, or selling motor vehicles subject to open safety recalls.With the passage of the FAST Act and its prohibition, there is no continuing need for the agency to investigate rental car recall completions.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The agency reserves the right to open any future investigations, including audits of individual recalls, or groups of recalls, or rental car companies, to examine more closely safety recalls performance and completion issues in this area.
