Feds Setting The Stage For Another Million GM Cars To Be Recalled

U.S. safety regulators are investigating whether to add more than a million General Motors midsize cars to a recall for brake light problems.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it's checking into complaints about the 2004 to 2011 Chevrolet Malibu and the 2007 to 2009 Saturn Aura.

In 2009, GM recalled about 8,000 Pontiac G6 midsize cars from the 2005 model year. The government announced in February that it's investigating whether to add 550,000 G6s sold from 2005 to 2009. The safety agency says the brake lights may not come on when the pedal is pressed, or the lights illuminate for no reason.

Remember people according to the industry standards this is NOT a quality issue.

Bad brake lights are just a safety issue. The quality of the design and components are irrelevant.

I owned a 2003 Pontiac Sunfire when in Uni and it had issues with the driver's rear turn signal light disconnecting. I had it fixed twice and it eventually became a recall for the Sunfire. Whoever has been engineering GM's rear lights needs some assistance.

Still not as bad as BMW's taillight problems.

GM always produced bad quality cars. If they didn't they would not have lost market share and gone bankrupt. Looks like their on the way to bankruptcy again.
