Chevy Announces Recall Plus Camaro news

Ok, not gonna get into Toyota, because we all know whats gone down with them...well, other then a new problem they found. Like some models like the Highlander having bad oil lines.

GM announces Recall on these models for this reason:

It seems the electric power steering unit is prone to failing.

Models affected include, but not limited to:

2005 to 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt (all models including SS Super/Turbocharged)

2007 to 2010 Pontiac G5

2005 and 2006 Pontiac Pursuit sold in Canada

2005 and 2006 Pontiac G4 sold in Mexico.

It's nothing really to be alarmed over, it just makes steering under 15 mph (24 kph) harder. So far this issue had led to over 1100 complaints, 14 crashes, and one injury.

They say the problem is noticed after 20,000 to 30,000 miles (32,000 to 48,000 kilometers), and a light will come on and a chime will sound.

If you know anyone that has one of these models, please, let them know to get it looked at. We had the little black '05 looked at, it's turned over 60K now, and still works like a champ.

But again, it looks as it's still under investigation, but at least GM is willing to fix the issue.

Camaro: It is built Like a Rock (tm)

Also, even thought it got literally SPLIT IN HALF, a driver of a Camaro SS in Cincinnati walked away after losing control of his Camaro SS and slicing it in two on a utility pole. His injuries? A scratch on his head.

Pony Wars pt.3?

2009 Seemed to be a good year for the Camaro as well. In June the car out sold Mustang with numbers being Camaro with 9,320 units, as the redesigned 2010 model Mustang only sold 7,362 that month. Granted July both cars suffered declined sales, the Camaro down 2000 and the Mustang down 1000, but the Bow Tie Bad Ass out sold the Icon yet again. Even August's numbers where good. Camaro: 8,680 Mustang: 6,289.

I know I may get some shit from Mustang Fan boys, or just anti Chev guys, but I must admit, Ford is now pulling out all stops with keeping up, and even surpassing the Camaro.
December was good for Ford. Even though last year the Camaro was a top seller for 7 months in a row tallied by total sold.

All I know, is I'm excited. The Muscle Car Wars are back! It's like 1966 again!

Also: I want Dodge in this, the Challenger is to beautiful to be a dismal seller. Maybe Chrysler can do something about it...I dunno...Tune that HEMI more?


Let's see some Challenger/Camaro/Mustang action!
