WARNING: AutoNation is selling dangerous recalled used cars without fixing the deadly defects first

Oct 25, 2019 — 

A recent report by the Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety Foundation and U.S. PIRG found that 1 in 9 of the used vehicles offered for sale at AutoNation dealerships surveyed coast-to-coast had at least one unrepaired safety recall defect. Many had multiple safety recall defects, including catching on fire, bad brakes, faulty steering, and ticking time bomb Takata airbags like the one that killed my precious, beautiful, talented daughter Jewel.  

AutoNation is behaving like they already got the law in New Jersey and other states changed, to allow them to get away with selling dangerous recalled used cars, if they just "disclose" there's an unrepaired recall. But so far, only two states  -- PA and TN -- have caved in to the unscrupulous car dealers.  Thank you for helping hold the line in New Jersey. Your voice is making a difference.

Here's how to check your own car for safety recalls, and how you can avoid being sold a hazardous recalled car: 

Buying a used car? Better make sure it's safe
Buying a used car? Better make sure it's safe
Buying a used car is always a bit risky. You don't know how that vehicle was driven or maintained. It could have been damaged in an accident or by flood waters. Or it could be subject to an "open" recall - a safety problem identified by the manufacturer that has not been repaired.
