There was an defect, they tried to fix it, fix was approved by a regulatory body, it didn't work, so they recalled the cars.

Poor design happens, but when given opportunity to resolve this they attempted to resolve it with zip ties. That's embarrassingly cowboy, especially in the wake of the emissions scandal. It's kind of impressive that the regulatory body permitted it too.
Do you have any data to support this? I would argue that standards are increasing, and that cars are safer and better today than at any other point in history.
> The remedy is not a valid one, since the TM tested a recall repaired car and found that the zip ties snap apart at during a strong braking. This means after such an event the fatal flaw in Volkswagen seat belts remains in place, rendering the recall useless.
Right, it has been acknowledged that the fix did not work. Waste of time and money for everyone involved. How would you like a recall process like this to work? Not everything is a scandal.
