If you want to provide context, try picking an article from after GM admitted to hiding the extent of the problem: GM will pay $900 million over ignition switch scandal (September 2015) http://bigstory.ap.org/article/e1207eccc10c4f2a8ef550da95e121c0/gm-said-settle-criminal-case-over-ignition-switches http://bigstory.ap.org/article/e1207eccc10c4f2a8ef550da95e12... "General Motors agreed to pay $900 million to fend off criminal prosecution over the deadly ignition-switch scandal, striking a deal that brought criticism down on the Justice Department for not bringing charges against individual employees." "Also Thursday, GM announced it will spend $575 million to settle the majority of the civil lawsuits filed over the scandal." "The twin agreements bring to more than $5.3 billion the amount GM has spent on a problem authorities say could have been handled for less than a dollar per car."
