Well your car had to be a 2010 model or later to drive for Uber so I imagine if you reported them they'd get into trouble.

Also the great thing about Uber is you can rate your ride, if they get bad ratings they can lose their license to drive with Uber. I talked to one driver who said if they are averaging below 4 stars (out of 5), they can get called in for review or reprimand

The year of the vehicle changes from city to city. To drive in New Orleans it can't be more then 7 years old so right now you can have a 2008+, come Jan first it will be a 2009+. However in Jefferson Parish you only need a 2005+ right now. I've been told in other cities it goes as far back as 2001 models.

Also, for the star rating system drivers must keep a 4.7 or higher rating, if they stay below that for a few weeks then they get called in and have to go to a short class and you have a meeting with the district managers and they go over exactly what your low ratings are for and how to improve and what not. You also get put on probation for a month to improve your rating, if it doesn't come up then you can't drive any more.
