I just posted an article about the ludicrous excuse that Mary Barra, GM’s CEO, offered in her congressional testimony for GM’s lengthy refusal to correct a design defect it knew was killing and maiming people.
The defective design caused GM cars, without warning, to suddenly lose electrical power essential to the driver’s ability to control the car and for the air bags to function. The car became an unguided missile and simultaneously lost the protective device that was most critical to safety in such circumstances. The design defect, therefore, endangered not only GM customers but also anyone in the vicinity when the GM car lost electrical power.
