Do you not have mandatory checks for cars in the US? Here you have to go to a certified mechanic’s shop within 4 years after the car is first registered and every 2 years after that. They check brakes, steering, emissions and lights and if you fail any of those checks you are not allowed to drive that car until you get it fixed.
Depends heavily on the state, but even inspections in the strictest states do not compare to the ones in Europe. Some states have no inspections whatsoever.
When I was a kid my state had yearly inspections, but that was stopped like 25 years ago. Occasionally you still see one of the green stickers on the windshield of an old car.

Not in most states. only 13/50. Cars crash on failures, wheels fly off and kill, brakes fail, no one gives a fuck.

Depends on the state, and how eagerly and effectively they enforce it.

All I can attest to is in Virginia, yes, in Michigan, no.
37/50 states, no. I avoid Michigan highways.
