High Rate of Defects in New Cars In Mo Auto Club Study
A Missouri Auto Club study of 10,000 vehicles in St. Louis found 44 percent with safety defects in cars under 500 miles, and 50 percent of 1868 models had defects. Improper wheel alignment was most common, with faulty brakes also notable. The report notes repairs often underperformed and calls for nationwide checks. The findings are presented to Senate subcommittee chair Sen. Hart, amid calls for broader safety investigations.
