reading an article about water4gas. Using hydrogen to boost mileage. Do you know how dumb you sound.I am proof they work. Ive had one in my car for 7months and I get 75m.p.g. hwy and 55m.p.g. in city.. Ive even started a business of selling and installing these units.Even all of my customers are reporting 50 to 75 percent increase in mileage. All your company is, is just another government controlled agency backed by big oil. Or the scientist ARE THAT STUPID. I will forward this info as many websites and news channels as possible stating that consumer affairs makes aligations to pursuiad the general publics thinking depending who is funding them!

The article: Bank of America, Chase Rush to Cut Fees as Congress Gets Restless Consumer anger forcing Congress to get tough on high bank fees, charges By James Limbach dated September 23, 2009 on ConsumerAffairs.com is really wrong now,2 months later, now that Congress passed the Credit Card Reform Act which takes effect in February 2010. The interest rates are being JACKED up now by all the major issuers to keep the interest rates at 29.99% and up when the new law takes effect. Perhaps Congress should amend the Bill to require these companies retroactively adjust the fees and interest rates levels they charged a few months ago. Write Obama, your Senators and Representives in the House.

If users cannot read the owners manual & pay attention to the manufacturers recommendations, then don't ride an atv or sxs. Cars, guns, power tools are the same. Parents don't allow their 12 year old to drive the family car, so why would it be OK to let them driva sxs or atv? The ridiculous lawsuits & public posturing is a silly reaction to poor parental supervison masquerading as a safety issue. Give your collective heads a shake & look at the real issue. Supervision, education & protective equipment for ALL new atv & sxs users. Sue the real responsible parties the people who hand over the keys to an atv or sxs to inexperienced, unprotected, underage users who then carry 2,3 or more passengers ALL of which is AGAINST the manufacturers warnings.

Mr. Lewis published an article in your publication regarding Consumer Product Safety Comissions intent to begin the process of further regulating ATVs and RUVs. In the article Mr. Lewis states several times that "ATVs cause injury or death". ATVs do not "cause" anything. The cause of people getting hurt is ALWAYS people. I know of no machine that is manufactured with the intelligence to have malicious intent. In virtually every case involving injury or death, deliberate decisions by the operators to ignore the manufacturers recommendations regarding age limits, safety gear, and proper safe operation resulted in the injury or death. Using the the type of thinking Mr Lewis uses means we as a society have to "idiot proof" everything. Why not educate the idiots.

By the way during the same time periods hundreds of thousands of people were killed or injured in automobile crashes. Notice I did not use the term "accident" or blame the vehicles. Then Mr. Lewis tries to inflict his political agenda by taking a shot at the GOP who wisely refrained from initiating more laws we do not need. Lets try enforcing the laws and rules we do have.

Put the blame for injury and death where it belongs, on the parents of the children who let their kids operate machines not meant for children, and on the adult operators who fail to follow the manufacturers safety recommendations. Finally a question. Does Mr Lewis have any direct experience operating or owning ATVs? If as I suspect he doesn't then please restrict his liberal left wing drivel to things he has direct knowledge of.

In October 25th edition of your "Consumer News & Alerts," I was reading "CYBERCRIMINALS SCARE USERS INTO INSTALLING DANGEROUS SOFTWARE," and when I clicked on the links "Internet Users" and "Identity Theft" advertisements popped up -- one for Verizon and one for Credit reports. I was not able to get the additional information that was supposed to be available. Had to click on the "close window X" to get rid of the advertisement. I'm surprised and disappointed that your site would allow that to happen when a reader is looking for additional information related to the subject.

Advertising on your website about same company that was in the article. My stomach hurt from laughing. You advertising for the same company I looked up for being bogus.

glenn of n. massapequa, NY October 22, 2009

do you check out those that advertise with you, as I looked through different web sites one thing stands out and that is that companies that claim you can make money working through google and other such site are scams. to have them on your site makes people think they are for real, if you want to give the impression you are looking out for the consumer, we figure the advertisers with you are safe or at least honest. thank you.

I recently read an article on your site pertaining to VW/Audi ignition coils failing. In this article, you mentioned a situation involving Audi from the mid 80s regarding a symptom propogated by Ralph Nader known as 'unintended acceleration'. I have been working on Audis in the US for well over a decade and have never witnessed anything of the sort. Furthermore, it was proven that the so called 'unintended acceleration' was actually due to the driver unkowingly pressing the accelerator pedal when attempting to depress the brake. A company should not be blamed for something if the consumer does not understand how to operate the equipment. Do your research and stop perpetuating information that was actually proven invalid. If the American public would actually pay attention to driving, they would not find things like this to be a problem.
