GM (General Motors) or as some refer to the company as Government Motors, because of the bailout money, is joining Toyota and others in an auto recall. The company said it is recalling 1.3 million Chevrolet and Pontiac brand cars. The power steering motors are prone to failure, losing the power steering. The cars are sold in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

The recall effects Chevy Cobalts, Pontiac G5′s, Pontiac G4′s and Pontiac Pursuits. The company said there is no danger but if the system fails, they will be harder to steer. GM spokesman Alan Adler said it will take time to get the parts and the recalls will go out as the parts come in.

The company will fix the older models first because it takes from 20,000-30,000 miles for the situation to develop. The spokesman said that if the problem occurs, shutting down the car and starting it again will alleviate the situation.

Toyota has recalled more than 8 million cars and public attention is becoming transfixed on the numerous recalls. Toyota has finally felt the wrath of the citizens, when in a recent poll, 40% of Americans said they would not consider a Toyota for purchase anytime soon.
