Drive a GM? You may spontaneously burst into flame
 

GM recalling 1.4 million vehicles for fire hazard - Jun 2010

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- General Motors is recalling 1.4 million vehicles in the U.S. to fix a problem in which fires can be caused by a heated windshield washer fluid system. GM recalled 944,000 vehicles for this same problem in 2008, but now says the fixes it made aren't stopping new fires. Now GM dealers will simply disable the system altogether.
A short circuit in the circuit board that controls the system caused a grounding wire to overheat. That led to smoke and the malfunctioning of other electrical components.

There have new reports of "thermal incidents," including five fires, in vehicles that have had the repair. The vehicles affected by the recall are the Buick Enclave and Lucerne; Cadillac CTS, DTS and Escalade; Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe and Traverse; GMC Acadia, Sierra and Yukon; Hummer H2; and Saturn Outlook.

:2 cents: Drive careful

To spontaneously burst into flame - that is very unfortunate.

yes, not burning alive would be preferred.

Bump for public safety. :)

thats known as the beige box. its like the black box for airplanes but they colored it beige especially for suv's.

on edit-

the recording went as follows-
"well yes i had to go for the bikini wax at 2pm today because i had to pick up junior for soccer practice at 3, then i had to...oh my god i'm spontaneously combusting!!!!!!!!!!!"

Quick, give them more money!

/endsarcasm

Are the CEOs going to dragged in front of congress like they did with toyota?

That's why you don't buy domestic :1orglaugh

Not a chance!
1. Its government owned
2. All union workers

:1orglaugh

You MAY, but considering it's just a hazard and it's never happened to anyone, it's VERY unlikely.

i've seen this, it's so freaking absurd.
