GM recalls 1.3 million cars over steering issues
sauce: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/GM_recalls_1.3_million_cars_over_steering_issues
General Motors (GM) announced on Tuesday a recall of 1.3 million Chevrolet and Pontiac cars in the US, Mexico, and Canada over problems with the power steering system.
The models, the 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007-2010 Pontiac G5 in the US, the 2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit in Canada and the 2005-2006 Pontiac G4 in Mexico, were affected by a fault that causes the power steering in the vehicles to fail. The company says that cars can still be safely controlled even after the loss of power steering, although more effort to turn the car would be required.
GM is currently working on developing a fix for the problem, after having conducted an internal investigation for more than a year, beginning last January. In addition to GM's investigation, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also conducted an investigation on the Cobalt, which began in January 2010. The investigation was begun after more than a thousand complaints about the model were received by the agency, including reports of 14 crashes caused by the fault. GM contacted the NHTSA about the problem on Monday.
GM blamed the issues on an external supplier partially owned by Toyota, another company currently in the process of a major recall of more than eight million vehicles. According to GM vice-chairman Bob Lutz, the supplier, which was not named, had not met "all requirements for reliability and durability." In his comments, given at the Geneva Motor Show, Lutz also said that financial responsibility for the recalls had yet to be determined.
[Oh dear savior, tell me who the safe and ever reliable auto brand is now, for I am lost without thee]
[HOLY FUCK!]
Here is the truth. You have all seen the foreign market dominate in sales of automobiles in the US prior to toyota's PLANNED recalls. WHY? Because the US, like the good little biomagnetic shock hive that it is, was induced to buy FORIEGN/IMPORT automobiles. The detroit machines slowly began to fade back like a glacial ice cap in heat as CHEAP RELIABLE automobiles by HONDA and TOYOTA took over.
Inductive companies like GM put out SHITTY automobiles with poor gas mielage and ugly ass design while dominance in the auto market transitioned towards imports. THIS WAS DONE ON PURPOSE YOU POLLY WANNA CRACKA LITTLE DICK HEAD ASS MUTHAFUCKS. This was no accident that american makers like GM were putting out NONcompetetive products to a strong import dominating market. AND it is certainly NO ACCIDENT that TOYOTA has a shitload of recalls and issues all of a sudden with their products and company image!
What GM and TOYOTA just did to your little pea brain heads was a POLARITY SWITCH. The same way Burger King's Sneak King and Ronald Mcdonnel take turns convincing you all on whose MEAT should be stuck into your mouth more deliciously LOL. The same way Verizon and AtT take turns on convincing you on whose telepathy enhancing services you should git. Polarities are needed to CHARGE your food's coils.
Don't beelieve me? Check out this amplifier movie, WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR?, being aired all over movie channels on the telescreen recently. Its about GM's development of super MPG vehicles waaay before toyota/honda started releasing sub par similar vehicles. Look at how the charged masses actually PROTEST for GM to release "their" ev cars back to them:

[ROUND AND ROUND YOU GOOOOOO!!!]
[Import or domestic? Domestic or import? hohoho which one lawd? WHICH ONE?!]
GM didnt have poor business strategy and tactics, YOU DID. For the illiterates out there, the code is pointing towards a return of the domestic auto makers becoming the dominant force in the US auto industry. This is why you should drop your balls already and take up shares in domestic companies.
RED IS GUNNA BEE THE NEW BLUE YOU FAT FUCKS [one and the same]! Gitt Reddy!
ALL PRAISE IS DUE TO THE HONORABLE NIKOLA TESLA FOR HIS WORKS IN ALTERNATING CURRENTS.
It is an electric current in which the direction of flow of the electrons reverses periodically, sinusoidally having an average of zero, with positive and negative values especially such a current produced by a rotating generator or alternator. An electric charge would for instance move forward, then backward, then forward, then backward, over and over again. AC electrical distribution systems can easily allow changes in voltage using transformers. By using transformers, AC power can be changed up to very high voltages for transmission and then changed down again to safer voltages.
The masses can be stepped up to a higher voltage of wanton chimp screaming behavior over "their" unreliable toyota vehicles, and then stepped down again to calm energies via gov't transformer (amplifier devices).
GM Reportedly Kills the Electric Car...Again
sauce:http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2010/03/03/gm-reportedly-kills-electric-caragain/
Once again, General Motors has killed the electric car. More correctly it has killed an electric car.
Bloomberg is reporting that GM has ended development of the Cadillac Converj, an extended-range electric vehicle that was to be based on the same technology found in the upcoming Chevrolet Volt. Unnamed executives told the publication that a business plan couldn’t be made for the vehicle, despite the premium prices that could be charged for it under the auspices of the luxury nameplate.
During an appearance in January prior to the Detroit Auto Show, GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz told the Conference of the Society of Automotive Analysts that the vehicle was “heading for production.” GM never issued an official announcement either confirming or denying Lutz’ claim, but then-Cadillac General Manager Brian Nesbitt told Foxnews.com “there is a lot of work going on on the Converj. We’re very excited about it. I’d say there are still some approvals that have to take place, but we are working on it.”
Instead, Bloomberg says Cadillac will focus on more conventional plug-in hybrids with smaller , like the XTS concept unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show. Rather than having the ability to go 40-plus miles on a charge, this type of vehicle can travel only short distances in electric-only mode, then operates like a typical hybrid where the internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric motor share the burden of driving the wheels, unlike the Volt which uses an ICE with no connection to the drive wheels only to generate electricity for the electric motor when the battery runs low.
Volt development continues on schedule, with the first vehicles still expected to go on sale at the end of 2010.
Acceleration Incidents Cited on Repaired Toyotas

Federal regulators said Wednesday that they had received 10 reports of Toyota vehicles accelerating unexpectedly after they were repaired at dealerships.
The complaints have not been verified, but they add to questions about whether Toyota’s big recalls will resolve its problems with unexpected acceleration. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it had begun to contact and interview the consumers who filed the reports.
“If Toyota owners are still experiencing sudden acceleration incidents after taking their cars to the dealership, we want to know about it,” the agency’s administrator, David Strickland, said in a statement.
Toyota said its United States dealerships had repaired more than a million vehicles since early February out of six million vehicles that have been recalled to fix problems with the accelerator pedal. More than two million vehicles in other countries have also been recalled.
In some cases, Toyota says the accelerator pedal can become hard to depress or stuck partly depressed, and in others the pedal could become trapped under the floor mat, causing the vehicle to speed out of the driver’s control.
“We are confident that Toyota vehicles are safe, and we’re doing everything we can to ensure that our customers are satisfied with the rigorously tested recall remedies,” Brian R. Lyons, a Toyota spokesman, said in an e-mail message. “We are taking steps to quickly investigate these complaints.”
Several of the new complaints about problems in cars that have been repaired involve Camry sedans. The owner of a 2009 Camry said that on Feb. 25, two days after the car received the recall repair, it suddenly sped up and went into a ditch. The owner of a 2010 Camry repaired Feb. 12 wrote that the car accelerated into a snow bank five days later. Both drivers said they had tried to brake, but were unable to stop the car before going off the road.
As of this week, regulators said they had received reports of 52 fatalities and 38 injuries in incidents said to have been caused by unexpected acceleration of a Toyota. Three-quarters of the incidents were reported in the last four months, since Toyota began recalling vehicles for possible pedal entrapment.
Toyota executives testified this week to a Senate panel investigating the recalls that they were confident, as they had said since the recalls began, that the problem was caused by either the pedal or floor mats and not by the vehicles’ electronic throttle control systems.
“I want to be absolutely clear: As a result of our extensive testing, we do not believe sudden unintended acceleration because of a defect in our E.T.C.S. has ever happened,” Takeshi Uchiyamada, an executive vice president for Toyota, said. But Mr. Uchiyamada said Toyota would “continue to search for any event in which such a failure could occur.”
The complaints about repaired cars were reported Wednesday by The Los Angeles Times, which was alerted to them by Safety Research and Strategies, a Massachusetts consulting firm that has been compiling reports of unexpected acceleration in Toyotas.

nice post ....good to have you back ....
ReplyDelete...dont call it a come back, Ive been here for years.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
ReplyDeletehence...the movie "transformers: revenge of the fallen". Boy oh boy, the baaaaahhhh tenderloin loved them somma that colloidal silverscreen eye-syrup. It's also no wonder so many clucking fucktards love 'AC/DC' (around and around and around...and all the while fools still think that the system is a cartesian dualism, or some sort of crass hegelian dialectic..when really the dualism of electrical current is constantly "fluxable", intrepid and discreet in it's vascillations.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, for those who have bought MTLQQ or any other "risky" stocks (LOLZ), what are your thoughts on discount brokers?
I have been with td ameritrade for 15 years.Never had a prollem wit em.
ReplyDeletei'll look into that, mistah crumb. Thanks. Since I've ran into hives' work, I've kept with it, since his "teachings" are similar to what I have intuited in my own life. What I do find hysterical is the hangers-on in his crowd...they don't understand clearly how they are electrons around hives. The assiduously intelligent and perspicacious ones glean what they will from hives without being induced or incited into becoming sycophants.
ReplyDeleteYES Ex nihilo ab nemo! TRANSFORMERS (polarity switch)....revenge of the FALLEN (Domestic companies).
ReplyDeleteIts a no brainer why none of the TRANSFORMERS are Gayotas.
The name of the movie title alone is morbidly obese on allegory.
