‘Administration department is in regular touch with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and sponsors of the cash-for-guzzlers legislation in to find a solutions. We are concentrating on getting results by this program a successful one’, said Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill. However, this statement was declined by Rae Tyson, the spokesperson of Transportation Department. Wood was not available for comment. Wood said ‘NADA is planning to send an advisory to members on how to react to the expected defect’.

Wood came up with a revelation “The proof for a backlog of around 200,000 pending claims, which may exhaust the program’s budget of $1 billion, was found by the survey conducted by NADA”. It must be noted here that NADA conducted a survey of 2,000 dealers.

.The program started processing the claims of the dealers for repayment of a sum of $3,500 to $4,500 consumer credits on 24^th July. The program was supposed to continue through 1^st November.
