Discuss the apparent reluctance of auto manufacturers to put consumer safety issues ahead of profits. Discuss some of the automobile or automobile-related defect cases.

What will be an ideal response?


The automakers' resistance to safety devices and defects in designs stems from the relative expense of safety testing and producing safer devices. Many times, automobile manufacturers dismiss safety devices because they are too costly. Examples include General Motors' refusal to install safety glass windshields and Ford's awareness that the Pinto's fuel system ruptured easily in rear-end collisions.
