That's nutss!!

 

Just what the title says... I thought this was supposed to be "Leaps and bounds" over the cobalt quality.

Chevy Recalls Cruze After A Steering Wheel Falls Off - Driver's Seat - WSJ


YouTube - Steering Wheel Falls Off - 2011 Chevy Cruze

 

wowwwww
failll!

 

I dont know WTF Chevy ws thinking with the cruze anyway. The Cobalt didnt sell enough? Ever since the first time I saw the Cruze i thought "BAD IDEA". It's just not a very appealing car IMO.

 

hahaha. thats what that damn executive gets for dissing the cobalt...lol

 

Wow

 

btw. not laughing at the people driving these cars. but i am laughing at the executives who were head and heels over this car that dissed the balt..

 

Maybe its a racing steering wheel?

 

Dont mess with the balt!!

 

missing a few details on this one. they had the wrong steering wheel on it originally. it was replaced and not secured. its a very minor recall with only 2100 cars.

 

I'm going to have to agree on this one. Maybe they were going for the quick disconnect for easy removal. It could also be a very good deterrent to car thieves lol

 

I understand taking stuff out of a car to make it lighter... but come on, I think that's a little overboard.

 

Lol this is INSANE! And for those that say it's only chevy having a problem. THe brand new jetta will SHUT OFF if you honk the horn! LOL

 

From what I heard it was only one instance but just to be safe they are checking them all. Thats what you get for buying a car built on friday

 

isolated or not... that's just plain inexcusable.

how in the world do you "install the wrong steering wheel"... really.

 

when you get paid rediculous money to be in a union secured job.... you are gonna get paid doing a good job or a bad job. They have no motivation to create a refined product

 

this seems like it would be an engineering or sourcing issue, not an assembly line issue, and I dont think GM's engineers are union. But if it was quality control or a parts puller screw up, then maybe it was a union worker. Either way, who cares who's fault it was, just fix it.

 

Why wouldn't they be union? It could be an issue with materials also.

 

They could be, just saying it likely had nothing to do with whether or not union workers built, designed, or pulled parts for the faulty steering wheel. Lemme guess, you dont like unions?

 

I just don't like the way the typical ones are handled. They are good is most cases. (Teachers unions, Public service, most companies.) But the GM Auto unions are mismanaged, and not well regulated.

 

Why would it be an engineering issue? They don't assemble anything and most of them aren't anywhere near the assembly line. If I was going to point fingers I'd point them at the supplier who may have mixed parts in their shipment. Typically parts just come in a huge box and a line worker opens it, grabs a part, puts it on the car, then repeats until the box it empty.

 

whoevers faut it is, its comlpletely ridiculous...if that were me i'd never buy a chevy again...whos to stay it will only happen on chevy cruze?? and i dont care if its 12 or 12,000 cars..not one should be faulty in the steering wheel. that and the gas pedal and brake are the only ways of controlling where the vehicle goes..... unreal GM

 

well thats like saying you would never own a toyota because a problem happens like the gas pedal recall, which was over 2.2 million cars versus a mere 2100

 

Well if you would engineer a steering wheel that only fits on ONE application or engineer something that works on all applications, then you wouldnt have that problem.

 

Better not buy a lot of vehicles on the road then. I assume you are planning on walking from now on then.
