GM Recalls Canyon and Colorado on Faulty Electronics

, , , , , ,

GM is recalling around 5,000 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks due to faulty seatbelt electronics. The electronics may fail to warn the driver of incompletely latched seat belts, which is an issue if you think your seatbelt is engaged. General Motors is notifying owners right around now (late Nov/early Dec) and they will replace the faulty electronics for free.

For more information, consumers can call the GM customer support (Chevy at 800-630-2438 and GMC at 866-996-9463) or visit the NHTSA website: www.SaferCar.gov

SoCal SAYS: Yes, a recall on two of GM’s that are lower volume than the Sierra or Silverado. We recommend getting it fixed if you get a recall notice, but in our opinion, this isn’t that big of a deal. The electronics may malfunction, but most of us know when our seatbelt is engaged. Get it fixed though if you get a notice.

U.S. Senator From Massachusetts Drives a Truck

, , , , , ,

Did you know that someone in the U.S. Senate actually drives a truck? Did you know that he comes from one of the more liberal states in the nation? That’s right, Scott Brown, Senator from Massachusetts drives a GMC Canyon. Now, we were hoping he drove a Silverado or maybe a 2500 HD, but at least he drives a truck. Not only that, he is proud of it and even ran a campaign ad with the truck. Here it is:

SoCal SAYS: Scott, it’s not surprising that you won considering you drive a truck. Trucks are good looking, fun to drive, and very functional for moving, hauling, or towing things. We would love it if you lifted your Canyon or upgraded to a Silverado. That may be too “flashy” for a Senator, but give it a thought. Thanks for supporting trucks across the nation.
