Evidence Mounts that GM Delayed Recall with Deadly Results

New evidence is surfacing that General Motors has known for years about the deadly defects in its vehicles (as I suggested here last week) that are just now being recalled. The defects have led to the deaths of at least six people and are the basis of an ongoing lawsuit against GM.

We're certainly getting a lot of mileage out of this discussion about a BOAT ANCHOR called a Chevy Volt. Boat anchor it is.

GM’s Supplier-Squeezing Days Gave Birth to Flawed Models

The cars at the center of General Motors Co. (GM)’s February recall were still on the drawing board when a top engineer gathered more than a dozen managers and delivered a fateful message: Build them for less.

Those same Cobalts and Ions are among 1.6 million vehicles that GM recalled last month over an ignition-switch flaw the company says is behind 12 deaths. U.S. investigators and regulators want to know what went wrong, who knew about it and why the nation’s largest automaker took so long to mount a recall of models made a decade ago.

Those fatal ignition switches wouldnt have came from Ortech in Kirksvilke Mo would they? We all knew they were a bad design but not sure if it was the parts i used to build....link wont load on my phone, Austins great state of Ga dont like me usin innernet......

 

[BIGRED911]

Ha ha! It loaded and yep my old plant got a mention! The spring isnt the only problem....turn the key to the on possition and pull out on the key, the whole tumbler will come out of the assembly....and with that out you can steal the boat anchors very easily.....cant believe it took this long to recall that crap

From the article......

While automakers press suppliers to make sure that parts are developed and tested for safety, they must also struggle to make a profit, said Brian Bolton, who formerly worked as a design manager in Kirksville, Missouri, for Ortech, which was then a GM supplier.

“They operate close to break-even so they have to push suppliers,” said Bolton, who is now retired. “Suppliers and people in the industry would joke that GM makes design decisions based on three things: One was cost, two was cost and three was cost.”

From the article......

Brian didnt really have a choice but to retire.....

After the big fat fine given to Toyota, let's hope the scum company gets 100x that and that they have a never ending slough of lawsuits that will drive the vermin bastards into the ground never to reappear in any way shape or form.

There, fixed it for you.

Another million cars added to the recall.....

 

[DNFXDLI]

I wonder what spin they will put on this?....oh, oh I know...they will bring up other manufacturers problems in a feeble attempt to change the subject.

They suck...and I wish them nothing but contempt and lawsuits and hope the whole festering company rots in Hell.

They issued a STOP (with no details as to why) for dealers selling Cruze's today...

I'm shocked....and even sadder is that the P'sOS will try to hide behind the bankruptcy as a shield to avoid any kind of payout...it will be a truly happy day when they go tits up once and for all.
