Imagine turning your cars steering wheel, or giving it a gentle tug, and having it break away from the steering column. Now youre speeding along holding the suddenly useless wheel.
It sounds like a vision from a cartoon, or every drivers nightmare. And it happened to at least one driver of a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze compact car last month, and General Motors Corp. is recalling 2,100 of the cars as a result.
While the recall affects a relatively small number of vehicles, it is an unpleasant development for Chevrolet, which has been riding high on the success of its new small car. Chevrolet sold 50,205 Cruzes through the end of March. Thats well short of the 76,821 units Toyota sold of the Cruzes main rival, the Corolla, but it is ahead of the 37,379 Cobalts Chevy sold in the same period. The Cruze replaced the Cobalt and is supposed to be a departure from that uninspired model.
In documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the car maker said it traced the problem with that particular car to a case in which the wrong wheel was put in a car and replaced later in the assembly process with the correct one. But the new wheel wasnt attached properly, the car maker says.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters, D-Calif., and the African American members of the House Financial Services Committee, known as the FS 10, were recently honored by the Black Press of America and the National Newspaper Publishers Association Foundation (NNPAF) with the 2011 Political Leadership Award for their work during negotiations for the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.
that would be her illegal and unethical intervention on behalf of a bank her husband was invested heavily in. Nice to see the Chollie Rangel and "Cold-Cash Jefferson"-supporting blacks are still unethical and thieving

Guess the white folks won't get their award until the White Press of America people get the word...
