CarMax Board Chairman downplays risks posed by hazardous safety recall defects

CarMax Board Chairman (and former CEO) Tom Folliard responds to a question about how CarMax handles safety recalls. He was speaking at a public forum hosted by Florida Tech, with many college students in the audience. He downplays the risks posed by hazardous safety recall defects, which CarMax FAILS to get repaired before selling potential deathtrap cars.
Contrary to CarMax's dangerous claims, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the nation's premier auto safety agency, "EVERY [safety] recall is serious." Typical safety recall defects include:
Catching on fire - some victims have burned to death
Loss of steering, including steering wheels that literally come off in the driver's hands
Faulty brakes that can cause a crash
Sticking accelerator pedals that cause cars to speed out of control
Seat belts that fail to work when they're needed in a crash
Child safety seat latches that come undone in a crash
Stalling in traffic
Takata airbags that explode with excessive force and propel metal shrapnel into drivers' and passengers' face, neck and torso, often causing blindness or bleeding to death
