Chrysler, Honda announce auto recalls

[Oracle of Delphi]

WASHINGTON - Chrysler LLC said Friday it would recall nearly 300,000 sport utility vehicles to address potential braking problems while driving uphill.

In a separate move, Honda Motor Co. said it was recalling more than 180,000 Civics from the 2006-2007 model year to fix a wheel-bearing seal that could leak and lead to a wheel falling off the car.

Screwy brakes on a Chrysler product is nothing new, nor surprising. But wheels falling off of Hondas? That's news!

On this we agree, see we have common ground to build off of!

Don't worry, I don't see you as the enemy...

Yet. :AH-HA_wink:

Enemy? Me? As close as we are, we are almost neighbors! Remember no matter what I decide I work for the greater good!

It's all good until I find out that you had a hand in preventing me from getting the cars I want.

At that point, you become Toyota's neighbor in my book.

Sorta gives new meaning to driving the wheels off your Civic. Seriously, I feel badly for those people who's wheels have fallen off their car while driving. That has to be a scary experience. Maybe they should have bought a Cobalt after all?

Hmmm, from reviewing your post, I bet you would like to rent my house while I'm gone. I'm only 15 minutes from Camino!

I'd never pound you PCS. I would, however, tie you to the passenger seat of my G8 or Ute and make you ride cross country in it.

Seriously, gonna miss the banter with you on here when you head across the pond.

Strangely coincidental, I just saw a new Ford fullsize clubcab do exactly the same thing. Brand new truck sitting on the driver's rear brake, the wheel had rolled through an intersection and took out a Honda!

A former boss of mine had the factory tires on his RSX come off like 3-4 times before. He said his tire came off, it may have been the wheel or the seal b/t the tire and wheel may have broken loose somehow.

Maybe the Ford was getting the Honda back for when a Honda's wheel fell off and took out a Ford?

Interesting thing on the new was that the Chrylser recall made the local news and the Honda wasn't mentioned at all. BTW I get to tell a coworker today that his Civic has been recalled!

I GET TO TELL A BUDDY, one who belittles anyone who buys a domestic. 'volvo is better'.....'honda is better'

[Intrepidation]

W00t I get to tell my coworker that he Civic's wheel is falling off!

[Intrepidation]

AT least the Chrysler problem can be fixed with a computer reprogram and it only happen while coating uphill (how strange)...The Civic recall is just a tad more serious.

meh! who needs brakes and wheels anyway?
