Safety

Mainstream vehicles are inching closer to autonomy as driver assistance 
 systems proliferate, and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is 
 creating a consumer ratings program to test them.

For 2017, Toyota updated its Highlander three-row SUV and we tested it 
 for our Car Seat Check. Little has changed for the 2018 model year.

Recalls in the auto industry are a common occurrence. Not up to speed? 
 Not to worry. Here are some of the most significant recalls we covered 
 from June.

Cars.com's 2018 Volkswagen Atlas was in the shop for 12 days thanks to a 
 broken sunshade. It wasn't a straightforward fix, either.

More than 1.1 million Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups with power 
 locking tailgates are affected by a new recall for the tailgate.

Volkswagen's lineup has a big hole in it for big families that the 2018 Atlas 
 tries to fill. We tested the SUV out for this Car Seat Check.

Nissan has announced that its Rear Door Alert system will be standard on 
 many model-year 2019 vehicles, including all of its four-door trucks, 
 sedans and SUVs by model-year 2022.

The fix for the recall on our 2017 Chrysler Pacifica was quick and easy. If 
 your vehicle is under a recall we urge you to get it fixed.
