Fires Cause Recall of GM Sedans

By TOM KRISHER – 21 hours ago
DETROIT (AP) — General Motors Corp. says it is recalling more than 207,000 Buick Regal and Pontiac Grand Prix sedans because they can develop oil leaks that can cause fires.
GM says the cars are safe to drive, but drivers should not park them in garages or carports.
The automaker said Friday the recall affects 1997 to 2003 Buick Regal GS and Grand Prix GDP models with 3.8-liter supercharged V-6 engines.
GM says oil can leak onto the exhaust manifold if a driver brakes hard. If the oil gets hot enough it can catch fire.
It says the problem has caused 267 fires and six injuries.
The company says owners will be notified when parts are available to fix the problem.

Anything that calls attention to our loathsomely criminal police department should be considered a public service and not karmawhoring.

Ahh! That’s the problem, you only visit it daily. You don’t spend every waking moment refreshing the front page like some folks around here.

So was this article brought up in response to the positive story about the police officer?Keeping in mind that the article is dated to 2 weeks ago

As people are voting it up, it’s possible that some people don’t check reddit every day/week.

You muddy the issue by implying #1 the search would have been appropriate if drugs were found and #2 the search would have been appropriate if it had occurred in private. That’s a pretty disgusting pro-vagina-fingering link description you wrote.

Sure, a citizen can raise charges against anyone. Sometimes it’s even sane behavior.

I’d have to pass on the fingering.

Civil charges. Criminal charges have to go through the DA.
