Government appeals for patience at airports

WASHINGTON >> Air travelers across the country have endured lengthy security lines, some snaking up and down escalators, or through food courts and into terminal lobbies. At some airports, lines during peak hours have topped 90 minutes.

Now, facing a potential backlash, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson asked fliers “to be patient” as the government takes steps to get them onto planes more quickly.

Johnson said Friday that the government is working to ease the lines, although travelers should expect to wait as they travel this summer. Whatever steps TSA takes, Johnson said, it won’t neglect its duty to stop terrorists.

Sticker error stops sale of 60,000 GM SUVs

DETROIT >> General Motors Co. is telling dealers not to sell about 60,000 SUVs in the U.S. because the gas mileage listed on the window stickers was inadvertently overstated.

The company told dealers that the Environmental Protection Agency-estimated mileage on the stickers is one to two miles per gallon too high. GM says it reported the mistake to the EPA as soon as it was discovered.

The problem affects all 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave models.

Subaru warns against driving some vehicles

DETROIT >> Subaru is telling owners of some newer Legacy and Outback vehicles not to drive them because the steering can fail.

The company is recalling about 52,000 of the cars and SUVs from the 2016 and 2017 model years.

Subaru said the steering columns may have been manufactured improperly by a parts supplier. The columns might not engage properly with the rest of the steering system, which could cause the driver to lose the ability to steer.
