The 2 big things Nader went after were the stability/control issues and the gas tank under the seat. That's not saying that there were not other issues but the 2 big things I remember seeing in the news didn't address exhaust gasses.
Nader got mostly discredited in the 70's. I know he was trying to ride the "I'm saving you from the big bad companies" routine into the White House. By the time he gained enough of a name for himself the info about the rigged tests was coming out.
And for those who want to take me to task over my original comment on here I never said they were unsafe. I said that because one person drives something for a long time that doesn't make it a safe vehicle. Then I spilled my little rant about the safety rating system. To really rate safety on vehicles you have to test them all to the same exact standard. But then if they did many of the small cars would fail and be banned. That doesn't fit into the green agenda. The same agenda that has time and again had segments that have admitted that they would sacrifice human life for the environment.
