I work in automotive and I am genuinely surprised there isn't a NHTSA helpline of some sort to escalate these kinds of issues to force a recall.

  Would NHTSA even care about this? It's not a purely safety issue (I mean, I can see people making the argument it can leave you stranded somewhere but I didn't think that type of thing is where NHTSA gets involved)

    Maybe Dept of Transportation (DOT)
    • mixdup 3y ago
      NHTSA is an agency of the USDOT

    If you shut off the car, it's pretty low on the safety issue scale if it doesn't restart.
