Recall Friday: GM recalls 275,000 Cadillac, Pontiac and Saturns

Oh what a tangled web GM weaved, When first they practised to deceive!

:(

1) Financial pressures in the auto industry lead to beating up on suppliers who in turn are forced to cheapen their product to the point of unreliability.
2) Notwithstanding this particular incident, I would like to see a manually lockable rear differentials on all RWD vehicles, at least as an option for winter use.

It happens to all auto companies. It is up to the Auto company to recognize an issue and make a recall if deemed appropriate. Like Toyota or any make it is unlikely to actually happen or be a very rare occurance, but the chance is there and should be fixed.

^^EL what are you talking about?

GM Statement,
"GM said the seal on the rear axle pinion, which provides power to the wheels, does not meet all specifications and could leak fluid. GM spokeswoman Carolyn Markey said the leak could lead to the drivewheel jamming up and locking while the vehicle is being driven, possibly causing the driver to lose control.

There has been one crash reported in which the rear wheels locked because of the leak and hit another car. In a separate incident, a driver reported an injury after moving around in the car as the vehicle lost control."

When you control 25% of the market share, there is bond to be recalls.

Recalls happen.

Thank you...finally someone not complaining.

suddenly the RL recall doesn't look so bad.

No big problem here . Just like the Toyota lovers say when they have a huge recall . Just doing a little fine tuning on aproduct that is already approching a higher standard

sounds like bad luck to me btw
