The Chrysler Corporation has declared the recall of nearly 700,000 vehicles. The first cars on the list are the 2006-2010 models of their Jeep brand. A brake fluid problem is the cause of that recall. There are other cars on the recall list as well. The Dodge Grand Caravans and Chrysler Town & Country models are being recalled due to wiring problems in the sliding doors.

Chrysler says it will notify owners of the vehicles fix them free of charge. I like these “responsible corporations” nowadays who look out for their customers and take responsibility for their products I hope this trend keeps up!

The spilling oil from the Deepwater Horizon is still spewing out of the pipe even though it has been capped. While the effort to cap the pipe is finally somewhat successful as some of the oil is being captured, there is still a long way to go. BP crews are working to capture more and more oil as time goes by. The problem is that the environment is being overwhelmed by the oil slicks.

Animals, plants, and humans are feeling the effects of the oil and the outlook is not good. Experts say it could many years for the damage to go away despite the massive cleanup that is planned. BP continues to claim that it will pay for the damages and set things to right. I sure hope they keep their promise!
