GM to recall 1.3M compact vehicles for steering problem

The recall affects 2005 to 2010 Chevrolet Cobalts, 2007 to 2010 Pontiac G5s, 2005 and 2006 Pontiac Pursuits sold in Canada and 2005 and 2006 Pontiac G4s sold in Mexico.

The automaker said Monday the vehicles are still safe to drive and never lose their steering, but it may be harder to steer them when traveling under 15 mph.

Let's see how fired up congress is regarding this recall given their recent grilling of Toyota Motors. GM is now a subsidiary of the United States Government; congress might simply give them a pass on this recall.
