They were too busy dreaming up ways to fine Toyota $1Billion dollars for AN IMAGINARY ‘sudden acceleration’ problem.

If I was the head of Toyota I WOULD NOT PAY and threaten to close factories in the USA.

Obama did not have to take over the entire auto industry at once. Just one company- then use the power of the government to force the others out of business.

They may have gotten distracted over health care, but you know thats what they want to do

Very interesting. Three months ago the ignition computer module failed in my 2003 Monte Carlo and cost about $500.00 for the dealer to diagnose and replace. My instrument cluster would just go dead at unpredictable times with the ignition shutting the car down. It took 2 trips to the GM dealership service center to diagnose and finally fix it.

In 1971 GM was forced to recall some 1965-70 Chevys because the driver's side engine mounts were prone to breakage which supposedly would cause a loss of control, according to this report. Out of 6.6 million Chevys recalled, 63 were in accidents attributed to this apparent problem, though I've always wondered how many of those incidents, if actually caused by the defective mounts were as a result of street racing? Ralph Nader and some consumer watchdog groups claimed they knew about the problem from the day these cars rolled off the assembly lines.

I’m driving a Saturn Outlook. It’s a Saturn version of the GMC Acadia. Purchased it before the bailout otherwise I would have bought FORD in a heartbeat. Great looking....sporty, BUT a fooking money pit. Water pump failure, transmission failure, Rack and Pinion failure TWICE, lift gate hydraulic failure, A/C blower motor failure, new hood installed because of rust at front edge....

My conclusion = GM failure.

need to drive at least 1 year in hopes no more failures so I can recoup some of my pay for the failures investment!

Then I buy a FORD!

Looks like Modica and NLPC may have made a difference, AP just announced a GM recall for power steering.

excerpt:

Included in the recall are the Chevrolet Malibu, Malibu Maxx, Chevrolet HHR, Saturn Aura, Saturn Ion and Pontiac G6. Model years vary, but all of the vehicles are from the 2010 model year or earlier.
