NHTSA has placed security sales retaining the new results of crash tests for 2004 models of the American buying public for months while giving preferential access to car manufacturers can market their new vehicles less safe in 2004 to uninformed consumers known as the new car assessment Program NCAP NHTSA has rigid barrier before testing 35 mph since model year 1980 and 38 5 mph shifting barrier side impact tests from the 1997 model year.
When the crash test program was set up under the Carter administration in 1979 for model year 1980, the idea was to get out to the public as quickly and as widely as possible so that consumers can buy safer cars with better resistance to collisions on the open market the new program quickly reached its peak in the second year when the NHTSA not only published the results on national television, but also published a book, for the information that has quickly become the the most popular government guide ever with more than one million copies distributed.
The NCAP has always performed better in Democratic administrations than under Republican administrations, even if Republicans profess to believe in the free market, they believe may be on an unsuspecting free market that benefits the seller on the buyer L Administration Carter won the 1980 results on October 15, 1979 and 1981 results December 11, 1980 despite the publication in book form for the first time in the 12 years of Reagan and Bush administrations, only twice did the NCAP results come first before January 21 December 1988 for 1989 model year and November 2, 1992 for when they came out on January 23 due to the introduction and testing of model year 1993 During 8 years of the Clinton administration the NCAP results are released each year before January except for the 1998 model year of shocked airbag models.
During the first two years of the administration of President George W Bush, the performance continued in Clinton with the first 2002 and 2003 model year results to come in early October just after the start of the year But now s5 model in January 2004 and NHTSA has not yet put its first release of new 2004 model tests, although it gave the results for there are at least 19 months models carmakers the only thing NHTSA has done is to release the list of new models to test November 21 and which models are carryovers from 2003.
NHTSA has developed a cozy little arrangement with auto manufacturers they get to be the crash test, where they get the anticipated results they may challenge or bad use in their advertisements so NCAP When was launched, only the NHTSA staff were tests and both public and automobile companies have achieved results at the same time later in 1982, NHTSA opened crash tests public DOT Opens Auto crash test to the public Feb. 1, 1982 but now it is the only automakers that get to participate.
We ask you to restore credibility and timeliness in the NHTSA crash test program by providing equal access to consumers all results NCAP crash tests when given to automakers and to exclude automakers NCAP tests unless public access is given Finally we ask you to return to the policy of releasing the first results of the new model of crash test in October of each year in time for the millions consumers make safe buying decisions in the fall we look forward to your response.
