GM Recalling 300,000 Trucks, SUVs
By KEN THOMAS
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -- General Motors Corp. is recalling more than 300,000 trucks and sport utility vehicles because of problems with the turn signal on some vehicles, the company said Tuesday.

GM, the world's largest automaker, said a driver indicating an upcoming turn by moving the directional signal up or down might cause the front and rear turn lights to flash, making it appear like a hazard warning.

The recall involves the 2003-2004 model years of the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, the GMC Envoy, the Isuzu Ascender and the Oldsmobile Bravada. It also includes the 2004 Buick Rainier.

As GM goes there goes the nation, yes the hazard warning is going off on the nation's signal too.

7. Yup. It's health care costs, not cutting corners, that's the cause of
their monetary woes.

Fuckin' filth, these GM execs.

Ship away the jobs to countries that allow exploitation and have no quality control worth a hoot...

Accidents happen, but when they're making outrageous claims you bet I won't feel sympathy when they start announcing recalls. And how long until recalls are deemed too costly to do?

9. Have everybody return them to GM
and have GM send them to AL. None of these people know what a turn signal is anyway.
