CCM has been working closely with a national group, Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety (C.A.R.S.), in support of a bill being filed in the U.S. Senate to prevent rental car companies from renting recalled cars until they are repaired. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO), chair of the Commerce Committee's Consumer Protection Subcommittee, will hold a hearing on the bill. Meanwhile, unrepaired recalled cars have shown up for sale on used car dealers' lots in St. Louis.
