AutoNation Blames Trump Election On Decision To Sell Potentially Dangerous Cars To Consumers

AutoNation Blames Trump Election On Decision To Sell Potentially Dangerous Cars To Consumers
 AutoNation Inc.'s pledge not to sell vehicles -- new or used -- with an open recall lasted only about 16 months.
 
The country's largest new-vehicle retailer resumed selling used vehicles with open recalls on Monday, Nov. 28, after AutoNation CEO Mike Jackson concluded that Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election meant the end for legislative efforts to require used vehicles subject to recall to be repaired before they are sold. Federal law prohibits retailing new vehicles with open recalls.

If a car/brand has an open recall and AutoNation has that dealer brand, they should be required to fix it before they sell it. Trump had nothing to do with this, what a jerk MJ is or who ever approved this. I for one will not buy from AutoNation because they want their customers to deal with this crap when they could provide great customer service by making sure all their cars are fixed. Creeps!

It can be argued quite well that no one won when Obama was in office either.

Your comments are just ignorant. Trump isnt a politician been successful in the environment they created. He's a billionaire and is going to unleash American ingenuity and creativity. Get the Fed Govt OUT of our lives! How has Barry Soetoro who never did a think in his life before he somehow got to be president, led this nation? Executive Order because he ruled against the will of the people. Mrs Clinton is crook and her husband a degenerate liar... I never said Trump was a god, but he is already fixing a nation that has been ruined for the last 8 yrs. We don't need CAFE stds as there is no gas shortage and no "global warming". NONE! Gas prices exploded under Barry Soetoro but competition brought them down (Fracking). BO loves to take credit for the work and ideas of innovators that went around his regs. Make America great again!! A strong America = a healthy world. :-)

Typically Republican response...not get all the facts straight and blame others (except other Republicans) for everything under the sun.

If you care to know...the legislation on vehicles with open recalls is has been stuck in congress since 2011. The legislation if enacted would've have made manufacturers, dealers, and rental car companies obligated to either repair or notify the consumers of a recall on the vehicle. Currently, we have no laws which stipulate that. So this bill is sitting in Congress just waiting for Republican president to come along and kill it because cost and profit will always come before peoples safety and lives. Now how is that for being a creep.

@W124E320

Seriously, you calling someone ignorant is like an alley cat calling another alley cat dirty and filthy...lol. You sound like a Donald Trump infomercial. "Hillary Clinton is a crook and a liar..." and yet the new incoming President stiffed people out of millions and lied about it on national TV. Ever wonder why he won't release his taxes...even after saying he would if he won? Well, because he's a liar and a BS artist. Look, I get the kettle calling the pot black...but even the kettle knew he was a kettle and accepted it. If it was a Republican Kettle he would be a "Tea Pot" LMAO!!!

AutoNation and Carmax are borderline criminal. The reason AutoNation is doing what it is doing is that there is no financial case for them to do the recalls. If they have a Fusion with a recall, when the Ford dealer does the recall, the Ford dealer gets labor dollars from Ford to do the recall. AutoNation gets a big fat nothing.

Our dealers routinely perform recalls that are open because that's money in our pocket.
