Park Your Rainier Outside, Take 2

A while back GM owners were told to park their SUVs outside far away from structures, trees, leaf piles or pretty much anything that could catch on fire. The reason? The power window switches were acting like tinderboxes and setting vehicles ablaze.

The problem was first recalled back in June of 2013 but "the fix" didn't work. So GM turned around and issued a recall of the recall -- a re-recall? This time they vowed to be super-duper sure they got it right. And when you're both super and duper sure, you better be right -- so they asked owners to hold tight (and keep parking outside) while they got the parts together.

So owners waited. And they waited.

Garages sat empty. Lonely. Unfulfilled.
