Sean Kane of safetyresearch.net gave us the heads-up on a move to put warning labels on products manufactured by pre-C-11 Chrysler.
WARNING! This vehicle was produced prior to the date when the Chrysler bankruptcy was approved. If you buy this vehicle and are injured or killed, even if your injuries were caused by the manufacturer, you or your survivors will not be able to recover your losses by taking action against the manufacturer. If your passengers are injured or killed, even if their injuries were caused by the manufacturer, they and their survivors will not be able to recover their losses by taking action against the manufacturer.
No, really. The Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety (CARS, again) is petitioning the Federal trade Commission (FTC) to require New Chrysler to affix warning labels on pre-C11 build cars telling prospective buyers about the “unique liabilities” differentiating Old/New ChryCo products.

That sticker will look great on the dashboard of an 86 Diplomat.
CARS has a good point.
I hear not only will the cars have the Surgeon General’s warning label (probably with super glue so you can’t remove it) but when you pull down the visor to use the vanity mirror it will have the word “Sucker” etched in the glass…
That actually doesn’t seem too unreasonable. Because New Chrysler is taking over the dealer network of Old Chrysler and will be making the same models for the foreseeable future, it seems like consumers should be warned when looking at two identical cars sitting side-by-side on a dealer’s lot that one of them is “exempt” from liability, while another is not, just because of a few weeks’ or months’ difference in the date of manufacture.
As if the Chrysler brands aren’t enough warning…
Most of the suits have nothing to do with the auto and are caused by human stupidity. So they blame the auto amd get millions of dollars from the manufacturer.
This is just another payoff from the Democrats to the trial lawyers. Helps that the trial lawyers give many millions to the Dem’s in between ambulance chasing.
There is a pattern.
UAW supports dems and receives hundreds of billions.
GE supports Obama and recieves hundreds of billions.
Wall Street banks support Dem’s and Obama and receive trillions.
And not a peep from the MSM.
Is Limbaugh correct that the Dems control the MSM?
ChryCo Canada did not ‘technically’ declare bankruptcy.
Does that mean I can sue them for anything made in the Brampton factory?
I’ve never actually been in an accident in a Chrysler however I have seen a 300 C drive into a tree recently and I think that I’m suffering from “Observer Trauma”.
I can no longer rent a car because they’re all Chrysler’s and I’m now kind of scared of trees too……..

Unless you can prove that all of the suits have nothing to do with the auto and are caused by human stupidity, such a warning label makes sense.
Why a dog and not a lemon?
And not a peep from the MSM.

The MSM are owned by the corps who expect quid pro quo for their monetary contributions. This includes Limbaugh who was pushing GM when they paid him to do so.
It’s also true that democrats have become increasingly like republicans in embracing corporatist values. This is because much of middle american is indoctrinated from birth by the MSM to embrace corporatist values and political parties do nothing if not cater to norms.
For example, notice here how corps have managed to deflect criticism to their political puppets/scapegoats and by extension the representative “government” that is supposed to keep that kind of power in check. It’s somewhat subtle and assuredly never gets noticed by weaker minds.

The chrysler sticker issue is totally trumped up. The gov will likely end up paying the few reasonable claims out of taxpayer monies just like it did on the warranty claims.
No Problem.
The car as such will be discounted anyway.
And the rest of the product liability claims is generally anyway frivolous in the USA. Wo, where is the problem?
@bluecon: I believe you answered your question with the second line. GE owns NBC/Universal and all it’s 24-hour news channels. That’s quite a bit of news coverage from the MSM right there.
The original TARP contained all sorts of tax subsidies for unrelated industries.

Stuff like this is nothing unusual. Of course the companies (who just ponied up the quid, for the quo) try to pin it on politicians, who are only acting as you would expect given apathetic and ill informed voters.
