General Motors told dealers to stop selling its 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon mid-sized pickups on Friday.

The trucks have only recently started rolling off assembly lines. GM says a wiring problem with the trucks' airbags could keep the airbags from deploying properly when needed.

The trucks are so new that only few of them are currently in customers' possession, GM said in a statement. The vast majority are still at the factory and were about to be shipped to dealers. A few more are sitting on dealer lots....

Duncan Yo-Yo should buy GM. Products are guaranteed to return to their starting point.

Just out of curiosity, if GM fails, what happens to the pensioners who have been living on GM paid health care, GM paid prescription drugs and GM monthly pensions? I know a retired GM worker who has had it all since 1980. He is 84 years old now and is still living and voting for the democrat candidates.

Have you noticed all of the new Chevy Tahoe police cars in your city? Yeah, me too. GM’s sales have depended on them. Government debt supporting fake sales supporting a fake company. A some point, there MUST be an unraveling.

Corollary to your tagline: It’s possible to hate your country and love your government. Obama voters are living proof.

Really? The GM retired worker and immediate family members (wife/husband) in a nursing home also got prescription drug refills via mail order for little dollars as far as I know. I was just the nurse who filled out the reorder form and sent it in for refills. The drugs just kept coming.

The retired neighbor may not like the Obamacare refills.

I do some contract work at the GM Assembly plant in Arlington TX where they build the Suburban/Tahoe series trucks.

Eight out of 10 of them rolling down the line are either black or white.

I heard General Motors will be renamed:

They will be called 'Recalled Motors'.
