The people are whining already that GM isn't being treated like Toyota was and should be hauled before Congress for a special hearing.
Good lord people, this is one recall which GM wasn't forced by the government to do. GM did this voluntarily, like most (except Toyota) do for recalls.
Toyota got hauled before Congress because they refused to do the recall and they had been stalling this for nearly 10 years amoung other things.
So I guess now everytime an American Auto Company has a recall demands of them being hauled before Congress will be made.
Talk about not seeing the Forest for the Trees, also shows their bigotry towards amercian Auto Makers.
General Motors Co. is recalling 1.3 million Chevrolet and Pontiac compact cars sold in the U.S., Canada and Mexico to fix power steering motors that can fail.The recall affects 2005 to 2010 Chevrolet Cobalts, 2007 to 2010 Pontiac G5s, 2005 and 2006 Pontiac Pursuits sold in Canada and 2005 and 2006 Pontiac G4s sold in Mexico.
The automaker said Monday the vehicles are still safe to drive and never lose their steering, but it may be harder to steer them when traveling under 15 mph.
And this recall only involves 1 injury, no deaths unlike the (at last count) 52 that the Toyota recall involves.
The automaker will fix older models first because it usually takes 20,000 to 30,000 miles of driving for the condition to develop, Adler said. GM also will have to repair thousands of vehicles on dealer lots before they can be sold, he said.Posted by Quality Weenie at March 2, 2010 10:01 AMThe recall affects 2005 to 2010 Chevrolet Cobalts, 2007 to 2010 Pontiac G5s, 2005 and 2006 Pontiac Pursuits sold in Canada and 2005 and 2006 Pontiac G4s sold in Mexico.
