I assume you mean this comment? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12819423
The listed special orders were the pretext to $70m, $35m and $105m fines. Doesn't inspire confidence.
It might just be reporting bias, but I couldn't find an example of a special order that wasn't associated with a massive scandal.

The questions were reasonable, but the cover letter was very negative.
Could you point me to comments with first hand NHTSA experience? I didn't see any.

The Special Order might be of the "we're looking for a justification to fine you and issue a recall" type, which it looks like they often are.
