Un-fendered vehicles - i see way too many vehicles allowed to be the outfitted with wide tires outside of the vehicles fenders. Hey! I though tires are supposed to be covered by the vehicle's fenders so they wouldn't throw off rocks, spray or debris into the air at other vehicles on the highway. Those obnoxious bright-blue headlights. Since when do our regulators allow headlights that blind other drivers on the highways at night when switched on low-beam? These might be great for the other driver but they're hell on someone's retinas at night if they have the temerity to be driving out ahead. Surely we have the technology to enforce this at the brake tag station. Rain-x - why do you allow itw global brands to put this crap on people's windshields? You can't remove it and the only way to keep it from smearing and obscuring your night-time vision is to use more of it. It's like global brands is co-opting people's private property or helping to blind them on the highways. If you use the stuff as intended to bead-up rain instead of using wipers, you're breaking state law that says you must use headlights and wiper in the rain. Speeders - what is with all these people who drive on the highways like they're on meth? Don't we have speed limits? Can't government use the money from speeding fines? Road spray - why aren't tractor trucks and trailers not required to minimize the blinding water spray they make on wet highways? There are fenders and wheel covers designed to do this.

When the vehicle starts going around 55 - 60 mph, the car starts shaking vigorously. The wheel also shakes which also concerns me. Moreover, when i start to slow the car down, a rattling noise constantly shakes my car including my wheel from side to side. I think there might be an alignment problem with my vehicle since my check engine light turns on and off frequently.

I have noticed an inordinate number of cars with led tail lights that the break and/or tail lights do not work. Nothing specific for make or model but it is dangerous! I would really like to see if it is being checked out.

I checked under the car and the rear suspension is so rusted it is unsafe to drive . I looked on the internet and it is a common issue. With the amount of unsafe cars driving around with this issue i would say the ball was really dropped on the original recall

I own a 2002 subaru legacy in western new york, i recently was told there was an issue that was recalled back in 2004 but my car was never notified or addressed of the issue with corrosion. The recall ( nhtsa campaign number: 03v153000 ) i was driving on the high way when i hit a small bump and the back end of the subaru dropped and the tire started to shred causing me to loose control of the car , thank good the car came to a rest in the median and no crash or fatalities occurred.

The fuel lines leak out raw gasoline onto the hot engine any time it is cold outside. I have replaced the fuel line but it still leaks when cold. This is a very great fire hazard.

A strong fuel smell began entering the car through the heating vents on the car. This has only been noticeable since the temperature dropped below 25 degrees fahrenheit. There was a also a noticeable trail of gasoline in the snow following the car. *tr
