NEWS:
100,000 GM SUVs in
corrosion recall
WASHINGTON (AP) --
(October
28, 2005) General Motors
Corp. said Friday it was
recalling about 100,000
sport utility vehicles
in 20 northern states
because corrosion can
affect latches on the
two backseat doors,
potentially allowing the
doors to open while the
vehicle is being driven.
The
recall involves the
2002-2003 models of the
Chevrolet TrailBlazer
EXT and GMC Envoy XL and
the 2003 model of the
Isuzu Ascender.

NEWS:
October 7, 2005
-- ConsumerAffairs.com
Automakers are recalling
450,000 vehicles, including the Chevrolet
Corvette, for a range of defects reported by
the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA).
The General Motors recall
includes 123,592 pickup trucks, SUVs, vans
and cars because of potential power steering
problems that could lead to engine fires.
NHTSA reports that under extreme steering
conditions the power steering hose may break
and leak fluid. Power steering fluid could
then spray onto hot engine parts and an
engine compartment fire could occur.
