The United States Court System is already designed to deal with this. Without, sadly, multiple regulatory bodies. Let's say the Highway Patrol Service determines the cause of the death, which they should. The family of the deceased can file a lawsuit for the defective part. During the discovery phase the truth would come out way faster than the crack team of sleuths at the NHTSA finished their four star dinner with GM executives. Regulation breeds complacency and false security. Regulators are fallible. Who knows what society has lost ( better gas mileage, faster cars, real electrics!) Because of the NHTSA.
