The Homa Files

Just dreaming …

Remember when the Secretary of Transportation took to the airwaves to to tell people not to buy or drive Toyotas because they were unsafe?

Turned out that the problem was an auto service guy sticking the wrong floor mat in a car and a couple of folks hitting the accelerator instead of the brake.

But, since the gov’t owned GM —  one of Toyota’s main competitors —  LaHood just let it fly.

Now the plot thickens.

The Chevy Cruze is being recalled because its steering wheel comes off.

That’s right. it steering wheel can become detached.

No driver error.  No servicing mistake.

The steering wheel comes off.

Oops.

Do you think LaHood will issue another driver’s alert?

I’m betting ‘no’.
