>so many rules and regulations about car "safety" that they're becoming less safe
NHTSA's bad enough, then you've got the EPA that will force your diesel into limp mode if you don't refill the DEF. An otherwise perfectly-functioning vehicle, crippled by an unnecessary clogged exhaust filter with no bypass option. Oh and it's sensor driven, so a faulty sensor could do it too. And those exhaust systems are insanely expensive... like $10k for a full replacement is probably average.
