The Center for Auto Safety is the nation’s premier independent, member driven, non-profit consumer advocacy organization dedicated to improving vehicle safety, quality, and fuel economy on behalf of all drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.

“It creates a potential safety hazard, and we think it needs to be addressed,” said Jason Levine, who heads the Center for Auto Safety. “There needs to be an investigation. If Nissan doesn’t know, then they need help to figure it out. And if they do know, they need help to make sure they get it fixed.”
