| AQ10001 | GENERAL MOTORS CORP. | 11/18/2010 | Fleet Vehicle Recall Completion Audit | |||
| The agency, particularly in recent months, has been informed of incidents involving allegations of personal injury and death claimed to have been caused by safety defects and failures to conform to minimum federal motor vehicle safety standards (fmvss) on rental car vehicles for which a safety recall to remedy the safety defect or noncompliance had allegedly not been performed prior to the rental car company's lease of the vehicle.nhtsa understands that there is presently a petition before the federal trade commission (ftc) seeking to prohibit at least one rental car company from renting vehicles on which safety recall campaign remedies remain outstanding.the purpose of this audit query (aq) is to investigate recall remedy completion by rental car companies on the above-listed safety recall campaigns.these campaigns were chosen due to their inclusion of vehicles used in the rental market.this information is expected to provide the agency an indication of how completely and how quickly rental car fleets, in general or individually, perform necessary recall-related repairs or other remedies on the vehicles owned and then leased for use on the roadways.this aq is opened. | ||||||

| I own a 2009 pontiac g6 gt.my anti theft system kicked on while driving. i parked my vehicle 5 minutes later for 20 minutes and when i tried to start it wouldn't crank. this was the first occurence. i have 2 small children in the car with me, but luckily i was pulling into my own driveway. i had just driven from columbus,oh. a few days later after trying to reset my sytem (because i thought it was the anti-theft device) i had it towed to a dealer. as it turns out my negative battery cable had broken. according to the mechanic there was a defect in the cord. the mechanic had to do some re wiring. i just thank the lord that my car didn't cut off while driving. | |||
