GM Recalls One Million Trucks And SUVs Over Power Steering Loss

No power steering could be an issue on a two-ton vehicle. Just this week, General Motors recalled 230,000 Chevy, Buick, and GMC models over faulty brakes built by Germany's ZF Group. The same recall also affected 150,000 Jeep and Dodge models that used the brakes from the same supplier.

Lane-hogging drivers on the motorway tend to melt aside at the sight of one in the rear-view mirror. Honestly none of those cars are exactly "fast."
