GM Recalls Nearly 200,000 Vehicles



DETROIT (AP) - General Motors Corp. is recalling nearly 200,000 vehicles because of safety defects with brakes, gas pedals and windshields, federal regulators said Thursday.

GM spokesman Alan Adler said the company is not aware of any injuries caused by any of the defects.

The largest recall is of 155,465 pickups, vans and sport utility vehicles because of possible brake malfunctions. The recall covers a wide range of vehicles including the Hummer H2, Chevrolet Silverado and Suburban; and the GMC Yukon XL. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2004 and 2005 model years.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said a pressure accumulator in the braking system could crack during driving and fragments could injure people if the hood was open. The crack also could allow fluid to leak, which could make it harder to brake or steer and could cause a crash.


In addition, General Motors is recalling nearly 20,000 Cadillac XLR coupes, SRX SUVs and Pontiac Grand Prix sedans from the 2004 model year because the gas pedal may stick in extremely cold temperatures.


GM also is recalling 17,815 Buick Raniers, Chevrolet Trailblazers, GMC Envoys and Isuzu Ascenders from the 2005 model year because the windshield could fall out in a crash.


Adler said certain humidity levels can loosen the adhesive used to bond the windshild to metal, increasing the chances of the windshield popping out of its frame in a crash.

Well at least the Cobalts weren't in all that

 

gas padel stick in??....LOL!!!......

 

Another reason I don't see myself buying a GM made car...

 

ugh...dont start this...what kind of car do you like player one? honda right? lets not talk about any SRS recalls, or transmission recalls. i could go on and on all day about recalls for them. they are just as bad as anyone else. so dont come in here with a negative attitude.

respect.

 

PLayerone, this site is not the place for you to brag about you P-O-S import. more than likely the problem is, your pissed that you can't afford to buy a nice GM or any other American made car...that's what we are hearing. anyways the brake problem is GM's problem but since those brakes are made by bosch dont you think they should be the ones to blame not GM.............sorry dude take you import somewhere else, your hurting our economy!!!

 

Ford has the worst recalls of them all, so don't mention a poorly made GM car because this doesn't happen with the general very much.

FoMoCo has recalls like every week, no joke.

 

I agree about Ford, they had to recall the new Mustangs because the heads are leaking.....now THAT sucks.
