Hi fellow members,
Here is some GREAT reading, short and to the point;

J.D. Power and Associates has just awarded Nissan with some of its highest honors. The 2009 Altima has earned "Highest Ranked Midsize Car in Initial Quality,"1 while our iconic sports coupe, the Z®, was named "Highest Ranked Compact Premium Sporty Car in Initial Quality."1 It looks like everyone is starting to notice that quality runs in our family.

WASHINGTON — General Motors is recalling 1,243 of its 2010 Chevrolet Camaros equipped with a V8 engine. A potential short in the engine compartment could cause the vehicle to stall without the ability to restart or could result in an engine compartment fire, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

"The positive battery cable may contact the starter motor housing and cause wear on the cable insulation," said NHTSA in its recall summary of the problem. "If the insulation wears through the cable, it could create a short.

"A short could result in a no-start condition, cause the vehicle to stall without the ability to restart, or result in an engine compartment fire."

The problem was first discovered in a 2010 Camaro SS, according to GM documents filed with the government.

Chevrolet dealers will reroute the positive battery cable to ensure adequate clearance. GM said it will start calling customers on May 6 and anticipates mailing owner letters on May 18. Owners can contact Chevrolet at (800) 630-2438.
