Chevy Recalls Cruze After A Steering Wheel Falls Off

[frownonfun]

Yeah I missed the report. Nevermind. Toyota is flawless. Except a small family did die in one of those Toyota cases whereas no one was injured in anyway when the steering wheel fell off the Cruze in question. Just sayin.

My biggest problem with the Toyota accelerator fiasco was that everyone was blowing it way way way out of proportion. Besides the initial case where a floor mat was supposedly stuck and that family died all the other incidents seemed like either the result of stupidity or someone trying to cash in.

And as much as I don't like Chevy I feel like it's pretty ignorant to turn around and blow this out of proportion too. It was one case. And no one even sorta kinda got hurt. And yeah, it's not even technically a recall.

Sorry it's the "Government Motors" thing that really gets under my skin. Like that has anything to do with their engineering and manufacturing capability. Ford happens to have a pretty major recall on their record books that just so happened to kill a few people I know. But are they somehow still better cause they didn't take bailout money. Like I said, I'm sorry, but that just irritates me to no end.


EDIT: Let me clear this one thing up and I'll stop posting in this thread. CHEVY IS STILL A PRIVATE COMPANY!!** In fact companies take money from the government all the time and it doesn't mean the government owns them. JHC!

**Yes they have shareholders now but they are private in the sense that they aren't government run. Which is a ridiculous notion. If anything it's the other way around.
