I HAVE A POTENTIAL PROBLEM TO REPORT WITH A LOCAL CLINIC INVOLVED IN TESTING COMMERCIAL DRIVERS ON PRE-EMPLOYMENT AND RANDOM DRUG AND ALCOHOL SCREENINGS. I HAVE WHAT I CONSIDER RELIABLE INFORMATION THAT THEIR PROCESS, AND PERSONNEL, HAVE BEEN CORRUPTED. I HAVE TRIED OTHER ATTEMPTS AT ENTRY INTO THE DOT E-MAIL SYSTEM TO SUBMIT THIS MESSAGE, BUT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. PLEASE, I IMPLORE YOU, FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO THE APPROPRIATE PERSONNEL WITHIN THE DOT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT. *JB

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
