Remember the lady in the Winnebago who put in on ‘cruise control’ on the interstate at 70MPH and then went into the back to make a sandwich? OOPS. Moral, you don't need a steering wheel...just put everything on cruise control.

I had a GMC van in the 1990’s. Was riding down the road one day, hit a bump - and the half the dashboard fell to the floor. Just split, right down the middle basically. Ended up super gluing it back together and kept it for a few more years.
It was the last GM product I ever will purchase.

Maybe someday the Cruze will be a good as the Yugo or Trabant.

During yesterday's F1 race in Malaysia, driver Vitale Petrov had something similar happen in his Lotus-Renault.
Of course he had just run off into the grass, and hit a bit of a hump in the terrain at about 140 mph while trying to reenter the track. The car launched a few feet in the air and either the initial impact or the landing snapped the steering column from its mounts.
It was pretty exciting to watch from outside the car, so I bet it was a real hoot for young Mr. Petrov.

GM having to recall 2,100 Cruze (main competition - Corolla) is horrendous ... shocking ... and unforgivable!!!
Per the Toyota.com recall info webpage: "Toyota is recalling approximately 1.13 million 2005-2008 Model Year Toyota Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles sold in the United States with the 1ZZ-FE engine and two-wheel drive."
GM, I'm shocked ... shocked I say!

If it fell off a Toyota it would be a cable new breaking story and on the front page of all the liberal newspapers.

I had the same thing happen in a Honda Civic in the late 70’s.
