General Info

the Center for Auto Safety Consumers Union and Ralph Nader founded the Center for Auto Safety ( CAS ) in 1970 to provide consumers a voice for auto safety and quality in Washington and to help lemon owners fight back across the country. CAS has a small budget but a big impact on the auto industry. With less than half what General Motors spends on a single Super Bowl commercial, CAS has taken on the auto giants and won for consumers. Among our many accomplishments are: Recall of the infamous Ford Pinto for exploding gas tanks and the Firestone 500 tire for tread separation.
