Many drivers don't repair their recalled cars - Boston.com

Consider that Takata’s recent recall involved air bags exploding with so much force that metal shrapnel blasts into the passenger compartment. When a recall is issued, the car manufacturer is required to contact every owner of record for that particular model by mail. That means if you own a used car the onus is on you to check whether the car has been recalled. gov and looking up their vehicle using its vehicle identification number (VIN), which drivers can locate on their specific vehicle-maker’s site.

For example, Honda did not have the proper parts to fix over 5 million cars with faulty airbags last year, during the first phase of Takata-related...

5 steps to keep you safe on the road - ConsumerReports.org

Tires Make sure your tires are in good shape and inflated to the pressure recommended by the car’s manufacturer. Driving on under-inflated tires degrades a car’s handling, shortens the tires’ life, and can lead to tire failure. If your car came with pressure-monitoring sensors, you’ll want to have a set of sensors for your winter tires and wheels. As soon as you notice nonstop streaking or glass areas a wiper is missing, get new wiper blades. Washer fluid Keep the washer fluid reservoir topped up with a non-freezing washer fluid. Headlight lenses Hazy, worn headlight lenses can drastically cut down your nighttime illumination. Do-it-yourself headlight-lens restoration products do work, though they take a lot of elbow grease. One we tried that stood out was the Sylvania Headlight Restoration Kit ($21). You can also get your headlight lenses professionally treated at a body shop or auto detailer, but it will cost you. Headlight bulbs Conventional halogen headlight bulbs will burn out at some point, but you may not notice when you lose one.

6 New Tech Features on the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class - Automobile

Though we won’t see the redesigned 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class for a few more months, Mercedes-Benz is sharing some technical information on its new midsize luxury sedan ahead of its official debut. The flagship S-Class is typically known for its forward-thinking technological innovations, but this fifth-generation E-Class looks to pack plenty of technology of its own, with new features that build upon Mercedes-Benz’s existing semi-autonomous... We’ve been hearing about inter-car communication for years now, and the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class represents the first fully integrated “Car-to-X” communications system in production. This means that the car can communicate with other vehicles through the use of smartphones. Thanks to Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, 2017 E-Class owners can use their smartphone as a proximity key. Putting the smartphone near the driver’s door handle unlocks the door, and having the smartphone in the car’s interior means that you can activate the car’s push-button start system. By emitting a short interference signal through the sound system in the risk of a crash, the Mercedes-Benz system triggers a reflex within the inner ear to better prepare occupants for the noise.
