In 2014, there was a record number of recalls for vehicle safety defects. At least 60 million vehicles were recalled for problems including the General Motors ignition switch defect and exploding Takata airbags. The GM death toll has grown from 13 deaths to at least 124.  Exploding Takata airbags have killed 6 people or more.   The American public is waiting for the leadership in Congress to address these problems and act.
