Will Congressional Testimony Help Any Of Us? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I wonder if the heat brought down on GM via today's Congressional hearing will translate into fixes to the issues that many of us have. Does anyone have any insight? It seems that Ms. Barra is making quite a lot of statements on how addressing the ignition issue is just the first step in her overall corporate plan.

Gonna hurt GM sales no doubt. That's the main concern for GM. At least they are getting grilled hoping to fix their errors.

If your watching this its a joke. They keep repeating the same questions and not getting to the real issues but playing politics. I hope they just fix what they need to and stop the theatrics

Perhaps a congressional change in this year and an administrative change in 2016 will help.

I think the free ride they got from the Government went to their heads, as in... "So, we suck. Uncle Sugar will keep us afloat regardless".

What potential problems will be on trade-in values? Or used car sales?

Put your car on auto trader and watch people run away...

This is certainly the thinking our banks have had the for last 50 years. Every financial crisis they cause we bail them out because their too god damn important.

That is what a lot of people pinned their hopes on with Obama, we now all know how that went. Long live the new king, same as the old king.

Red or blue, same money behind them...
