GM recalls an additional 1.3m vehicles today

For power steering problems. Some of them are recalls of a recall.

In another few months they will be circling the drain.

I don't know.

Not denying that they have their problems. And I am one that has sworn off ever buying another GM product. (Not because of the recalls, but because I work for a company who is a Tier I supplier to GM, and GM is a pain in the @$$ to deal with. They have a definite "higher and mightier than thou" attitude. I really thought that would change after going through bankruptcy. But, no.

I'm starting to wonder if Mary Barra will be the saving grace for GM. She has already demonstrated a total 180 in management style. She seems to get it. I see a lot of the same approach that Toyota took during the fly by wire accelerator pedal fiasco.

I think it would be foolish to write GM off quite yet. We all need to watch and see if Mary is just words, or real action. So far, I would put my money on real action.

Its not like GM helps our economy either.

Let's keep this thread factual, please.

Our local news has posted a brief summary (written by the AP) of some of the questions that both GM and the NHTSA will be facing from Congress today.

There must be some mistake; how could this have happened? Our Dear Leader thought the 2009 Cobalt was a great car...

What isn't going to help our economy? Fords made in Mexico, GMs made in Canada, Toyotas made in Texas?

This seems to be the prevailing attitude of way too many U.S. citizens, sadly enough.

Anyone been watching the Congress interviews regarding the ignition switch issue?
