GM Controversy

Posted on January 5, 2011

Though Toyota spent the last year in the spotlight with recall after recall, it certainly isn’t the only company to suffer automobile troubles in 2010.

According to an article with USAToday.com, General Motors recalled over one million Chevrolet Cobalt models and Pontiac G5 models due to power steering system issues. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is now making noise that the Saturn Ion most likely should have also been part of that recall. Over 600 complaints and about 1,500 warranty claims have been reported from Ion owners.

General Motors, however, is vehemently denying the need for a recall. The article with USAToday.com details how GM claims, “…a power-steering failure shouldn’t increase the risk of accident; the car should still be controllable despite the increased steering effort.”

Now that the NHTSA is involved, the growing situation will be monitored very closely. For something more solid than a faulty power steering system, visit our website for reasonable vehicle shippers costs.
