Fisker Recalling 239 Karma Plug-In Hybrids for Fire Hazard

Fisker Recalling 239 Karma Plug-In Hybrids for Fire Hazard. A $100,000 car made in Finland using $529M in loans from US Taxpayers catches on fire? How many levels of stupid can you count?

  • Explain to me again why we taxpayers paid fora Finnish company to make a Finnish car that is so expensive (and clearly dangerous) that no one will buy it?

    • Rose, shhhhh, don't question dear wonderful leader, he knows what is best for all of us, and doesn't need congress to make us bend to his will.

  • So, we helped finance them and also sent them the electrical prints for the Volt?
    Looks like we lose all the way around!

  • I'll say one thing for Fiskar, they do make a good pair of scissors. Used to use them on some fine trimming work on an herbal product back in the early 80's. Or is this the same co?

      ACTUALLY, it's not the same company, Fiskar is the scissor, Fisker is the car. Great Question, I had to look that one up..

  • They must be using technology from the Chevy Spark, hopefully they didn't forget the brakes like Chevy did.

  • WARNINGS:
    Do NOT raise your voice around the Fisker as excessive vibrations may cause unexpected detonations.

    Do NOT attempt to charge your Fisker on weekdays or weekends.

    Approach the Fisker cautiously - let it know that you only seek to drive and that you mean it no harm.

    It would be nice if you took the Fisker out for an evening on the town once in a while, just to let it know it's appreciated.

    Treat the Fisker as you would any overpriced piece of junk that may suddenly become engulfed in a blazing inferno.

    Do NOT play Rush Limbaugh on the Fisker radio.
