Consumer reports recommends that if you notice that something seems wrong with your vehicle, say something. Get involved. If your car develops a problem that you think could put you or someone else in danger, such as a fuel leak or a serious steering or braking defect that\u2019s not related to wear and tear, report it to the automaker\u2019s customer-service department and NHTSA\u2019s safety hotline (www.safercar.gov). Automakers and the government depend on consumer complaints to find out about safety concerns and do something about them. If no one reports a problem, it\u2019s as if it never existed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
