I think after the ignition switch fiasco the CEO and company has been cooperative in the investigation and actually admitted fault...which seems very rare nowadays. I think it's something to applaud and I hope other companies follow the footsteps later. I hope the punishment is less for "good behavior"...otherwise other companies will see this and say wth...why cooperate if you will get fined and punished just the same. Might as well not cooperate and hopefully have the lawsuit hit a dead end. This doesn't change the fact that people died and there was a coverup...but to see people actually fired..and the CEO apologize...I mean how many bankers were fired for all the crap they did to the global economy. I know, people didn't die but the reach of screwing up people's lives was pretty broad.
- kw71 11y agoWell some engineer noticed the problem, a change order was issued to manufacturing, new production continued with no new part number was issued, so someone seemed to want to conceal this from not only the public but the rest of the enterprise. As an aside, wasn't this done in "The Old GM" which had its name changed and liquidated into the new company known today as General Motors?
- hga 11y agoThat engineer, and apparently the someone who wanted to conceal this from everybody, was Ray DeGiorgio, who also approved the out of spec substandard part in the first place (it appeared to work early on). All these sorts of human systems have a very hard time with a dishonest engineer.
