General Motors is recalling 3 million cars and trucks worldwide to fix five different safety problems that have triggered hundreds of complaints and some injuries, but no deaths.

Most of the vehicles -- 2.7 million -- are in the U.S. They include a handful of GM's redesigned pickups and SUVs, which have a potential steering problem.

It's serious enough that GM sent those owners overnight-delivery letters Wednesday, telling them to have their trucks hauled -- not driven -- to dealers for inspection and repair, if needed.

Also included in the new recall: 140,067 new Chevrolet Malibus for brake issues, reported here Wednesday.

5. Tie-rod defect

477 of 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups and 2015 Chevy Tahoe SUVs for a tie-rod defect that can lead to steering loss. Another 33 are in Canada, and 10, exported. GM says the issue was found and fixed during assembly after the small number of vehicles was released

3. Not good GM, not good

between you, me and the next guy/gal I'd rather have a picture of a ford as the keys to a chevrolet. I've owned both but 90 percent of the time I've been a driver, (I'm 66 now,) it has been in a ford product. In fact I own 4 ford vehicles as I type. Plan to whittle that down to 2 soon though.

4. So when are we sending them a bailout package?

- Isn't that how it works now since the corporations took over?
