Chrysler’s recent recall might just be the start of something bigger.

Things might be getting hotter for General Motors in regards to its recent ignition switch debacle.

Calls for a recall of the 1993 to 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee have been redoubled after the release of a new report documenting the growing list of fatalities associated with the SUV.

Because seatbelts and other safety devices found in vehicles aren’t designed for a woman’s body, female drives are more likely to get hurt or die when involved in a car accident, says a new report by the American Journal of Public Health.

We first told you about rental-car companies that were still renting out vehicles that had been issued recall notices. Now, U.S. auto-safety investigators are getting involved to ensure the repairs are being carried out before they are rented.

Chrysler has been targeted by the Center for Auto Safety (a consumer advocate group founded by outspoken lawyer Ralph Nader – the same one that threw the book at Chevy’s Corvair in the 1960s), about fires resulting from alleged fuel tank defects on Jeep models.
