Some SUVs May Not Be Safe: Chrysler Recall
Hot off the press in Miami, Chrysler Recalling Hundreds of Thousands of SUVs!!The Miami Herald recently reported that Chrysler is recalling some 300,000 SUVs for a possible brake failing system that prevents the brakes from operating properly during an uphill drive.

However, I don't care how big your vehicle is . . . if the brakes don't work you may be in for a world of hurt.If this wasn't bad enough, Honda is also recalling over a 150,000 Civics from the 2006-2007 models for a possible defect that effects the wheels.
