Hello, friends.This is Alexander Brangman.You may know that after my daughter was killed by a defective Takata airbag I began my safety advocacy.That’s why it’s frustrating to see another deadly airbag crisis unfolding. As I said in my NBC interview, “Airbags are meant to save lives, not take them.”

Ford is recalling more than 255,000 vehicles because a previous recall didn’t fully resolve a defect that can cause vehicles to stall while driving. That’s a remarkable failure-not just the original defect—but the inability to ensure the corrective action was completed properly.

We see this cycle over and over— Corporate negligence continues to put lives at risk. Ford has issued yet another recall for over 422,000 vehicles—Expeditions, Navigators, and F-Series trucks—because of windshield wipers that can fail or detach. When will NHTSA start being proactive?

Auto defects kill hundreds and injure thousands yearly —sometimes the threat is at home. Ford accounts for 33% of recalls in 2026, and in 2025 recalled more cars than the next 9 makers combined. A pattern of failure and dumpster ethics-Congress must hold hearings-NHTSA must enforce accountability.

If auto safety mandates are cut,let’s be clear: it isn’t “consumer affordability.” It’s $ over lives. Who actually benefits when lifesaving standards are scrapped? Not drivers or families-companies cutting corners. Safety should be moving forward not backward.A life is more valuable than a discount.

Protecting people shouldn’t come at the cost of lives. Tesla’s deadly recall history grows while they react too late.My advocacy is about breaking that cycle. When a door handle that is meant to help you escape in a crisis traps you in one-it’s an epic failure. I speak out to demand proactive safety
