I agree with BG. I am sure other cars have a lot other recalls and problems. They are just not being reported like a big deal on news.

I am wondering why these news all surface just now... I don't believe that "domestic cars" are totally problem free.

Just found this news.

Massive General Motors Recall Over Fire Hazard
Date Published: Tuesday, April 14th, 2009
In the wake of a humiliating government bailout, its CEO’s forced exit, and talk of a possible bankruptcy, General Motors Corporation is now facing a massive recall. The automotive giant just initiated a recall of nearly 1.5 million defective cars over concerns of possible engine fires, Market Watch reported. The affected cars were manufactured between 1997 and 2003 and include the following model years and makes:

* 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
* 1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix
* 1997-2003 Buick Regal
* 1998-2003 Chevrolet Lumina, Monte Carlo, and Impala
There is the potential for oil to leak into the exhaust system, which can lead to a risk of an engine fire in the automobiles’ 3.8-liter V6 engine, Market Watch explained.
