As a vehicle owner, you probably have plenty of feedback that you wouldn't mind sharing with the manufacturer. Perhaps you'd like to say something along the lines of "Why didn't you tell me the twenty-year warranty only covers my cupholders?" or "Is it normal to hear a clunking sound every time I turn left?" Unfortunately, getting in direct touch with upper management at an auto manufacturer can be next to impossible. But don't give up! Instead, consider contacting your dealer. Car companies have high-level meetings with dealers on a regular basis. These meetings - referred to as the "Dealer Council" - take place nationwide and function as a "sounding board" for owner feedback. The automotive bigwigs take owners' ideas back to their companies, where good ideas are used to improve future generations of automobiles. So don't just grumble to yourself - share your opinions with your car dealer!
