Yesterday's announcement that General Motors is recalling 1.3 million cars for steering problems pretty much takes the automotive cake. This recall involves compact Chevrolet and Pontiac compact cars sold in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico which may have power steering motors that fail. If braking problems with your Toyota were not enough, now GM appears incapable of making units which a driver can guide down the highways and byways. The recall affects 2005 to 2010 Chevrolet Cobalts, 2007 to 2010 Pontiac G5's, 2005 to 2006 Pontiac Pursuits in the U.S. and Canada, as well as 2005-06 Pontiac G4's sold in Mexico according to the news. Though the auto maker claims the vehicles are safe to drive, the news is none the less disturbing especially given GM's dashed brand name since its bankruptcy.
