Cadillac Recalls ELR For Stability Control Glitch

General Motors Co. is recalling its new 2014 Cadillac plug-in hybrid ELR to fix an electronic glitch.

The Detroit automaker said it is recalling 663 ELR cars built without adaptive cruise control. Due to a calibration error, electronic stability control — the anti-rollover technology — may not provide an alert to a driver if certain faults occur.

Vehicles without adaptive cruise control were built with a calibration that inhibits some electronic stability control diagnostics. If the diagnostics are inhibited, there are some faults that will not be detected if they occur.

Big 3 of America, making junk that no one wants since 1980's.

Just like how America is all about junk/low culture, so are their cars.

And the Americans wonder why the rich Americans see the American culture as junk, and choose to associate themselves more with the European cultures (aka "high" cultures)

I guess that junk/low culture is the reason why I like America, but that doesn't mean the Big 3 should just make garbage that have safety issues.
