“Although Canada’s consumers and businesses must still wait for the legislation to go through several more phases before it becomes law, the House of Parliament chose to help consumers overcome the high costs of new car dealership repairs by allowing them to have a choice of where, how and by whom to have their vehicles repaired,” stated Ray Pohlman, president, The Coalition for Auto Repair Equality (CARE).

The reasons for the Motor Vehicle Owners’ Right to Repair Act continue to remain and grow. Vehicles that are 1994 and newer are equipped with computers that control the repair and service information on most of the vehicles’ systems, including, but not limited to: air bags, brakes, ignition keys and systems, check engine light, tire pressure, oil changes, electronics and steering mechanisms

The only way for motorists to have these systems and their “entire” vehicle repaired and parts replaced is to return to the new car dealerships. This has created a safety hazard for those who need immediate repairs but may not be near the new car dealership or ANY new car dealerships, hurts low and fixed income motorists, hurts fuel efficiency, cleaner air and jobs.

But if this report is any indication, car buyers may want to reconsider passing on airbags. Their lives may depend on it.

A new report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) finds that nearly one in five fatal accidents involve cars that have missing air bags. This problem endangers the lives of used car buyers, current owners and innocent passengers.

Industry experts estimate that as many as 1 out of 25 previously deployed air bags are not properly replaced. Carfax urges drivers that have had their car’s air bags replaced to make sure all air bags are functioning properly. In addition, anyone shopping for a used car should have an ASE-certified mechanic or body shop inspect the air bag system prior to purchase.

So if you know better, check out the airbag features of your next car. Your life may depend on it.
