GM Recalling 1.5 Million Cars for Fire Hazard

Fox News ^

[Uncle Chip]

Will these repairs count as stimulus jobs?

LOL -- no doubt -- but will they be public or private sector???

[worst-case scenario]

That info about sovereign immunity is very interesting. Do you have any citations for it? I hadn’t heard that before.

The tank in my truck is right next to the hot side if the radiator and the trans cooler. Getting it too close to the motor might boil it during the summer.

[jersey117]

Bush’s fault?

[bmwcyle]

Helen Thomas says that Jews can ignore the recall.

[dead]

I wonder if congress will drag the head of GM in front of them, like they did to old man Toyoda.

Oh wait, nevermind. Congress is the head of GM.

[353FMG]

Isn’t that the objective?

[NEMDF]

Do you suppose the Secretary of Trans, LaHood, is going to come out and say that no one should buy GM cars due to this?

[JDW11235]

Yes, sadly. And it’s inching ever closer, everyday. The worst and most difficult thing for most people to grasp is that what TPTB are doing is akin to patching and painting over a house that is termite ridden, and make no mistake, THEY are the termites.

So, we see the house shaking (See 1000pt stock drop), and get worried, but they paint over it (buy up stoks, feed the fat finger lie), and we wipe our forheads and say “phew, thank you, I was scared, take more control of our lives please, that almost hurt.” All the while, they are feeding on our foundations and oneday the whole thing, quite unexpectedly to most, will come crashing down.

I know we Freepers, for the most part get it, but when there is dissention even here, it shows just how systemic the misinformation is!

1) CAD Geek: Incorporate computer controlled heating system.

2) Mechanic: Small heat exchanger inside reservoir, plumbed to radiator.

or ya couldve used an anti freeze type washer fluid with de-icer...but yer right, another potential gizmo is easier, except when they dont work, but hey, the fire would clear the ice...

[ScottyinTN]

A couple loops of hose in the washer tank, tied into the circulating engine coolant would work fine also. And have zero possibility of catching on fire.

[Le Chien Rouge]

I will continue to drive my 94 jeep wrangler with 200,000 miles and I’m quite happy with it.

Meanwhile:

"The Ford Motor Company had its best quarterly performance in six years, earning $2.1 billion, and now expects to return to profitability this year, executives said on Tuesday."

[Retired Greyhound]

I almost bought a Ford Fusion, but I found out they are built in Mexico.

I bought a Hyundai Sonata instead. It was built in Alabama.

Ford’s parts are American made, though, so I still consider them an American company. But I do wish they would move their operations to one of the fabulous southern states like Toyota, Hyundai, and many other foreign car companies have.

[386wt]

Folks in Denver (and Montana and Alaska) do not use Texas windshield washer fluid.

[earlJam]

Is Obama going to kick his own ass?

[Hoodat]

How soon before the CEO of GM is standing before congress and apologizing to the American people like Toyota had to?

And what will be the record fine that GM will be forced to pay.

[Paladin2]

We need a web-based ass-kicking machine in the Oval Office.

Zer0 would be required to spend an hour a day there, where US citizens could use the web-interface to have his ass remotely kicked.
