Recall Recap: GM, Chrysler, Mercedes, Suzuki
5 separate recalls, 3 of which involve SUVs, are explained in detail.
We have a spate of recalls today from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, some of which we missed last week during our previews for Pebble Beach.
Have a look to see if your car -- whether it's a Suzuki Reno or a Mercedes G55 -- is affected.
Recalled: Nearly 250,000 General Motors SUVs for window-switch short circuit
GM is recalling 249,260 midsize SUVs based on the Chevrolet Trailblazer from 2006-2007, including the Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X (above). A possible short circuit in the driver's side power-window and door-lock switches could cause them to stop working or even "melt components of the door module, producing odor, smoke or a fire." GM does not have a solution or date to fix the problem. Call NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236 for more information or visit safercar.gov.
Recalled: GM vans for possible fuel leaks, fires
The fuel filler pipe on 2003-2004 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans could become corroded and leak during a fill-up, potentially causing a fire. GM dealers will replace the filler neck on approximately 9,389 vans. The automaker has not said when it would begin the recall, but customers can call Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546 and GMC at 1-866-996-9463.
Recalled: 101,688 Suzuki Forenza, Reno models for faulty headlamps
Suzuki is recalling the 2004-2006 Forenza and the 2005-2006 Reno for headlamps that can intermittently shut off or fail completely. Suzuki says that a bad wiring contact can melt other wires leading to the headlamps. The company will begin the recall in September and attach heat-shrink crimps, which wrap the connectors tight in insulation, to the headlamp wires. Suzuki owners can call the automaker at 714-996-7040.
Recalled: New Dodge Durango SUVs for faulty side-airbag deployment
Chrysler is recalling the 2013 Durango to replace an airbag computer module that may not deploy the rear side-curtain airbags "as intended." The company will replace this module in September on 1,449 models -- and just for the 2013 model year. Durango owners can call 1-800-853-1403 for more information.
Recalled: 189 G-Wagens for flying airbag trim
The 2011 Mercedes G550 and G55 AMG are being recalled to secure a piece of trim that could fly off when the front passenger airbag deploys. The recall starts next month. Affected G owners -- remember to check the exact model year, as they all look nearly identical year-to-year -- can call Mercedes at 1-800-367-6372.

We the people have have have to wage political war on this Congress and its "Digital Millennium Act" that gave Motorola and Marconi (Italian Mob run by the Vattican) the tools to enslave you and your children. Your cell phone tracks you, Google records the sites you visit and your bank keeps track of you spending habits. Your credit cards keep track of your purchases and your employer keeps track of your "footprints" at work, by embedding key-stroke technology onto your PC without your knowledge--be careful where you surf the net on your lunch break because you are being watched. We are putting IC circuits in your car and television and cable boxes, phones and I-Pads.................all so a dosier can be made electronicly about everyone. Now Obama and others want your medical records on-line?
Who would want to know your every thought? Who would want to have the kind of power to pretend to play God? Who would want to use you, against you?
Was 9/11 a droned project to change the civil liberties called the Constitution? Do you believe that a couple of peasants from the mIddle east, really could have taken a jumbo jet, flown it by stick and rudder at non-stall speeds and actually aimed it into a tower as accurately as it was? Do you believe that one? I'd take a look at Kelly, the head SS for Heir Bloomberg and the Irish Republican Army of Catholics working for the Vattican if I were you and ask yourself..........................on 9/11 did we destroy our Constitution so that our Military Leaders (Kennedy Assassinators) could convert the U.S into a Chinese-like regime, making you the property of our Military Complex? Who runs the Internet? The U.S Military. Who spends more money than any other area of our government? The U.S Military. Who has the laboratories in Academia, researching fot it, sonic weapons, magnetic propulsion and high frequency magnetic cannons so horriific that they use Microwaves in high powered radio to make your home a torture house full of digital weapons and AC Compressor sound waves that destroys your DNA at the sub-atomic level!
Hell hatch come to America. Fight for your children dummies! The human eyes and brain continues to see 20-40 seconds after your body dies.............................in a digital war, the nuclear weapons will fly probably in Syria by a Saudi imposter buying a Pakistani nuke to be used against Israel. And you will get to see your kid's flesh melt off thier body and pop from being cooked inside out by the weapons that will be deployed when digital communications wars begin.
You will get to thank NASA, Les Aspen, Star Wars program that went underground and Los Alamos with Harvard University and Holy Cross at the center of what is a Christian FAKE jihad against Islam. It is a religious war that cannot be won either digitally or conventionally and WILL lead to our final end.
Good luck. Nice job Congress.
GM should be arrested for the brake lines they use. I have a 2003 3500 Silverado, that has had nothing but bad write ups about its ABS system. My mechanic said it is a Hydro-boost system and cannot be bi-passed--the brake pedal chatters and or sometimes allows the truck to roll through stop signs. The problem..................small lines that are inadequate for the size of the truck, and they rust easily making them brittle. In two years, I have blown out the line before the ABS module on the frame rail, and behind it last year.
Manufacturing is about gimmicks and tricks. We can't remove codes without a $1200.00 GM Code Reader, which means we can't even change out a radio without an expensive trip to GM where we get to sit for half a day, so they can do a 5-minute code removal to clear the Flash Card Cache. Yes, your car is watching everything you do. The Flash Cards in your car, record like an airplane's black box, everything you were doing before a dummy light goes on, and then after. With "On Star" you can in fact, make dummy lights go on remotely--how honest is your local GM Dealership? Mine tried to hit me up for $5,000.00 to do a simple brake job, after I had already had my local Goodyear shop to the back brakes. The didn't even look at the truck--I sat in the waiting room for 5-hours only to get an estimate for $5,000.00!! I was told all my parts were rusty. They asked if I was from the North? And I said, "The truck was from Pennsylvania but only for the first two-years of its life, then it was in Texas the rest of the time. LOL
It's a shame that our country has gone viral over Digital Technology. We make communications satellites with on-board high frequency electro magnetic sonic canons developed for the Navy, that are so horrendous and evil that even the scumbag CIA didn't want the weapons. Ahhh but NASA and Viasat and others like that will use them as will anyone else who wants to bid huge bucks to become an evil monster.
We spy on our people with televisions, radios and satellite cable boxes that have embedded radio and television cameras, that can be remotely reconfigured (IC-Electrical Circuits) with as little as a reversed Zenner Diode that only requires 1.7vDC to switch on and off a device you don't even know is in your home spying on you. Your car is monitoring your driving style and can testify against you in court if you ignore a dummy light.
