What do you think of this consumer affairs complaint?

consumer product recalls
by Public Citizen

Question by White Chocolate: What do you think of this consumer affairs complaint?

Lady drives a 2005 Infiniti fx35 with “only” 165,000 miles on it. The transmission has gone bad. She says the transmission could have locked up on her while she was driving and killed somebody. She got trans replaced at AAMCO and sent Infiniti the bill. She says infiniti should replace transmission rather than be sued for millions of dollars. She says “we consumers pay your salaries. your product on these cars should be designed properly for safety issues. I work hard for my money and try to get a good quality car backed by your name. It looks like Infiniti is building cars just for the look and not for its dependant ability.Infiniti should act on their auto problems instead of waiting until someone gets killed before recalling these malfunctions.”

The K2 is the master paramotor glider which all others will be judged by in the future. This is a fully certified beginner glider that it auto stable with incident recovery off the charts.

Q&A: Has anyone had a recalled Ford product fire and would you be willing to testify in court?

Question by deliciadawn: Has anyone had a recalled Ford product fire and would you be willing to testify in court?

My son and his girlfriend were burned alive, due to the failure of the recalled cruise control switch. My car was NOT RECALLED until 7 months after they were killed. I have filed a wrongful death suit, Ford knew this part was defective since the early 90’s and still let people drive them around with ticking time bombs under the hood. So if you would like to be a witness let me know with a e-mail address.

Do liberals not realize how stupid they look when they whine about the 9/11 responders bill?

stupid design
by Uncleweed

Question by : Do liberals not realize how stupid they look when they whine about the 9/11 responders bill?

This bill was designed to fail. It was a pathetic political ploy, Democrat never had any intention of helping anybody but themselves with it.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that when you suspend normal legislative process you’re not going to get a lot of support from the other side. They meant it to fail.

Answer by Vinny
Yep considering that Dems voted against it as well.
