Ford and Firestone deliberately prolonged court cases and refused to settle, knowing the emotional drain on grieving families would be unbearable. Then, they forced their worn-down victims to enter into secret settlements, to obscure the truth about their faulty products. Incriminating "smoking gun" documents were sealed from public view. The secret settlements concealed the truth from federal regulators, who could have issued orders for a recall, preventing the mounting toll of tragic rollover crashes. Delays are deadly. CARS is fighting to end the conspiracy of silence. CARS has already won passage of landmark anti-secrecy legislation in California. Next: nationwide "sunshine" and full public disclosure of dangerously defective autos.
