Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell Fleet Reaches Whopping 3M Miles

General Motors just reached a new hydrogen fuel cell milestone. The company’s fleet of Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles just topped 3 million miles of real-world driving, all powered by hydrogen. Some individual Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell models have achieved over 120,000 miles all on their own. GM estimates that such driving in this fleet […]

UPDATE: Toyota Recall Vehicles Made Clear

Yesterday, I announced a Toyota recall that involved frustratingly little information at the time. We knew that 6.4 million vehicles had been recalled globally, including 2.34 million here in the United States alone. We also knew some of the affected models, but were just handed a humongous date range of 2004 – 2013 models. How helpful, right? […]

Toyota Recalls 6.4 Million Vehicles Worldwide

Apparently, Toyota wasn’t cool with General Motors hogging the recall spotlight anymore. The automaker was already in a close second for “Wow, sucks to be that car company right now” after their $1.2 billion payout last month following an unintended acceleration issue , but as Toyota recalls 6.4 million vehicles around the world for various […]

GM Recalls 1.3 Million Vehicles for Power Steering Problem

Because it just wouldn't be another day in March if GM didn't recall a whole bunch of their vehicles.

This afternoon, General Motors announced…yeah, you got it…another recall. This time, they are calling back 1.3 million vehicles due to a potential sudden loss of electric power steering assist. Per General Motors’ press release, the following vehicles are involved in the company’s latest recall: Chevrolet Malibu: All model year 2004 and 2005, and some model […]

Latest GM Recall: 490K Trucks and SUVs, 172K Cruzes

The latest recall of a combined 662,000 GM-made vehicle brings the total number of vehicles recalled in March to 4.8 million.

To General Motors, vehicle recalls for safety-related issues may well be the equivalent of Pringles: “Once you pop, you can’t stop.” Except in this case, their reward is not the salty goodness of potato chips, but rather the confidence that the survival of their empire may well depend on how they handle the mess that […]

GM Ignition Switch Recall Expands to 2.2 Million Vehicles

GM ads 824,000 vehicles to already-massive ignition switch recall. Barra: "We're taking no chances with safety."

Everybody loves Friday. Everybody, it seems, except for General Motors. First, news broke that they had ordered that dealers stop all sales of 2013-2014 Chevy Cruze models fitted with 1.4-liter turbo engines, leading many to suspect that Chevy’s top-selling vehicle might be the next to get recalled. Then came news that they are recalling 656 […]

New York Times: GM Threatened Families of Accident Victims

In at least two instances, GM threatened families with countersuits to their "frivilous" lawsuits related to deaths.

The GM ignition switch recall seems to reach new levels of absurdity every week, and one of the things that continually gets lost in the persistent crush of information about what General Motors may or may not have known and what they may or may not do to bring the ordeal to an end is […]

NHTSA Submits 107 Questions to GM Concerning Recent Recall

Boy, did GM step in it. Last week, General Motors expanded its recall (you know, the one that has been ten years in the making) to nearly 1.37 million vehicles after 13 people have reportedly died as a result of faulty ignitions. Now that the American automaker has at long last issued the recall, the […]

Toyota Matrix History

Introduction The Matrix, or the Corolla Matrix as it is officially referred to, was one of Toyota’s first ventures into what that Japanese automaker calls the crossover utility vehicle, or CUV, segment. The bold sport wagon was in production for just a decade, but in its relatively brief life, the Matrix helped Toyota attract young […]

The expanded GM recall now includes Saturn Ion, Saturn Sky, Pontiac Solstice, and Chevy HHR models built between 2003 and 2007, bringing the recall […]

Toyota Discontinues the Matrix

The Matrix makes an exit with no plans to revive the compact model.

Toyota doesn’t have the authority to discontinue the Keanu Reeves flick that saw its third and final installment in 2003, but it does hold the power to do so with its sporty hatchback that shares the same name: The Matrix. The Japanese automaker announced last week that it will discontinue the Toyota Matrix for the […]
