Money Making Parts

I can't figure out 

how the people that own this company

Can sleep at night

knowing that they have 

money making parts

that hurt people.

If I were making parts

designed to protect human lives,

I would want to know the product works.

I wouldn't hire people to say that 

mother nature has a way of defecting the part,

especially after replacing so many of those defective 

money making parts with more defective parts!

If you drive around and don't think about that defective 

money making part ending your life  or disfiguring and injuring 

you or your loved one, 

then I guess everything will remain the same for all the 

part makers in this world. 

I think they should be held accountable myself!

And all the other seedy money making part producers getting away with murder.

Stay safe  and educated about your vehicles that you trust everyday 

to drive you mindlessly from point A to point B...

All that money those parts made for that Company 

should be awarded to the consumers that trusted those parts to protect.

Your mind would be blown if you ever got to see that dollar figure!

Who likes Ram Power?

Wow Dewayne...Nicest Ram in town!

You are definitely turning heads...

Body Shop Humor

We did this for a customer last month

and that is NO JOKE...

She was so happy to press her horn button on the steering wheel 

and hear her brand new Low and High Note Horn set up!

What a happy horn blowing commuter she is now.

Beep Beep doesn't even do hers justice.

Happy 'Safe Commuting' New Year everyone.

The best customers are here!

Thanks All.

Best Wishes for your 2016

Auto Recalls November 2015

Consumer Alert

These Automakers charge a lot of money

for the product you get...

Be choosey and demand safety!

No matter WHAT automobile you buy.

It's nice to see these companies fixing the things they build incorrectly!

Don't trust any automaker out there, best advice.

If something isn't right with your purchase,

be the one to call them and complain,

and NOT the dealer where you purchased,

call the automaker and make them own up!

These recalls are serious business nowadays...

Good to see the Automakers getting serious about these issues

instead of dodging bullets, turn tail and run...

DETROIT -- General Motors is recalling about 3,300 late-model pickups and SUVs to fix an ignition switch that can slip out of the run position and cause the engine to stall, a problem that mirrors the deadly defect that led GM last year to recall 2.6 million small cars.

In a statement, GM said it is aware of five unintended shutoffs but no injuries or fatalities related to the latest problem, which affects some 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickups and some 2015 heavy-duty pickups, along with ’15 Suburban and Tahoe SUVs.

GM said some of the trucks have an ignition lock actuator gear with an outer diameter that is larger than specifications, which can make it more difficult to turn the ignition key. The key can get stuck in the “start” position, a problem that is more likely to occur with warmer interior temperatures, GM said.

A “significant jarring event,” or a cooling of the cabin, could cause the lock cylinder to move out of “start,” rotate past the “run” position and into the “accessory” position, GM said. That would cut power steering and brakes and deactivate the airbag in certain crashes.

Dealers will replace the ignition lock housing, GM said.

The company said it caught the problem early as a result of its “Speak Up for Safety,” program, an internal reporting system implemented in the midst of last year’s recall that encourages employees to report possible safety issues. The switch defect was reported by an employee who experienced the problem in his own truck, GM said.

GM said it is a different defect than the one that affected older-model Chevrolet Cobalt and other cars, though it can have the same dangerous effect. In the small cars, the ignition switch was flimsy and prone to slipping out of place if jostled.

That problem was linked to 124 deaths and 275 injuries, an independent victims’ compensation fund determined. GM has agreed to pay $625 million to those victims and their families.

An independent investigation found that some GM engineers and lawyers for years failed to elevate the issue to superiors. GM last month agreed to pay $900 million to the U.S. Justice Department to settle related charges.

Happy Halloween Everyone...Don't trip when you fall back Saturday night!!!
