US agency denies request for Fiat Chrysler investigation
DETROIT (AP) — U.S. auto safety regulators have rejected a request from an advocacy group to investigate power system failures in almost 5 million Fiat Chrysler vehicles that potentially could cause stalling and other problems.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in documents posted Tuesday that two fuel pump relay recalls took care of stalling and "no start" problems, and that there was no valid evidence to support the group's other claims.
The Center for Auto Safety, a nonprofit group founded by Ralph Nader, filed a petition last August asking for an investigation.
