Gm would do well to learn from this. Burning Fieros, CV joints wleded to make a FWD engine a RWD engine, etc.

How many recalls over the past ten years??? 20 MILLION????? Maybe even MORE??? Naw, this is simply more than Toyota "doing what is right". They denied, and fought the sticking accelerator issue, just like they fought the sludge in their engines. They have MAJOR quality control issues at this point. And MANY of them, I might add. What they are doing now is is simply a PR move. Many are considering it to be a desperation tactic. Time will tell if their PR move pays off. Myself, I value my loved ones' well-being too much to risk putting them into the likes of a Toyota. > Gm would do well to learn from this.

Yeah, you want to put them into a vehicle where the manufacturer fights to the end to not fix safety issues, not one where the manufacturer acknowledges potential problems and fixes them. What an idiot.

They stopped sales and stopped all manufacture until they got the engineering problem fixed. A lot better move, imo, than the bandaid approach. |
