Government Motors' Crowning Achievement: Falling Steering Wheels

Who can forget the frenzied all out bashing of Toyota on all government propaganda stations after the brake pedal got stuck just at a time when Government Motors was emerging from bankruptcy, and before it was forced to engage in stuffing dealers with its bloated inventory.  Yet, very little if anything has been said about the curious case of the Chevy Cruze and the falling steering wheel.  (Curious minds would like to know!  Oh, it is Government Motors.  Now, I know why we have not heard about it.)

The WSJ writes: "Imagine turning your car’s steering wheel, or giving it a gentle tug, and having it break away from the steering column.  Now you’re speeding along holding the suddenly useless wheel.  It sounds like a vision from a cartoon, or every driver’s 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."
