It is probably hard for Denver residents to understand how a major company like General Motors, along with the U.S. government, could fail to recall defective cars which were involved in over a dozen deaths nationwide. To be sure, recalls can be costly and embarrassing, but that is no excuse. When it comes to the lives of those who drive and ride in General Motors vehicles, the failure to recall defective vehicles seems to have been a clear example of putting profits over people.
General Motors has now recalled 2.6 million cars which had a defect that caused them to stall while driving – cutting off power to the airbags and power steering systems. Despite numerous indications that this problem was occurring, the company failed to issue a recall, and the government failed to open a formal inquiry, until over a dozen people had been killed as a result of the problem. In fact, congressional investigators recently stated that regulators declined to open an investigation into the issue on two separate occasions.
Now, those who have been injured as a result of the faulty automobiles, and the loved one of those who have been killed, are finally seeing the first signs of justice. Considering the defective GM cars have been sold for over a decade, with some defective models going back to 2003, justice for the injuries and deaths is certainly coming far later than one would expect.
