Totally agree. Even murders and rapists deserve legal representation. If Hillary acted otherwise, she would have been disbarred.

"And that even Hillary Clinton didn't have the balls to set her career goals aside for a moment and stand up to what she must have known was bullshit"

I just love all the people who think a multi-billion dollar corporation failing would be good. Because they don't support hundreds of millions of jobs, and the unemployment rate isn't high enough.

Poor choice of headlines and incomplete reporting as well. The ignition is not "failing." The ignition switch / cylinder / vehicle is doing exactly what it's supposed to if you turn the key off. GM is proactively making that less likely to happen for people who set close to the steering wheel, torque specifications…

In before all the "Shoulda let GM DIE! Hurr durr Bailout Obama Muslim Terrorist Gub'ment Mowtoors" trolls.*

Nope. I'm a design and release engineer at another company (similar job to the engineer at the center of this mess), and I'd say this was mostly DeGiorgio's fault.

Other commentators "car shaming" Cobalt owners and calling them stupid or poor because they bought Cobalts in the first place?

You know what, fuck you. That is not what Jalopnik is about. Go after GM, they can take it. Going after other car enthusiasts and owners? Now you are just being an ass.

Not surprised. These are the same people that made a non-story out of GM engineers wanting actual feedback instead of a mouthbreather response like "Oh this car is a KEVROKIANESQUE LAWSUIT WAITING TO HINDENBERG NOW EXCUSE ME WHILE I JAM THIS CAT5 CABLE DOWN RICK WAGONER'S URETHRA!!" It's what happens when you have a…

Honestly? It's probably damn difficult to uniformly flag 13 vins across the myriads and myriads of systems that operate each individual department. You're kind of treating this like old Sal down in the mail room pulled down the recall folder and hand wrote some recalls maliciously. That isn't how it is.

Listen, Love it or List it families, if you have 6 kids and 3 bedrooms, you need to move. I don't care how pretty Hillary made your house, your kid cannot sleep in the kitchen. MOVE!

REHAB ADDICT SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE

I'm going to throw my hat in the ring here. From what I've been seeing at my dealership, a few people are just trading in their recalled cars, and grabbing something new. Yes it's free, but some people are so scared they're just getting a new car (helps to have smooth salesmen)

Another way to think about this...because of the massive amount of recalls, GM dealers are seeing a huge increase in visitors to their dealership. Every visitor is an opportunity for a sale. So chances are there are at least a good number of Cobalt drivers thinking it was time to trade-in. You combine that with…

I fucking want a Cinnabon so bad now. *goes to fetch pistol*

Even though I am very, very far from a GM fan, I would have to disagree. GM's current lineup is very competitive and much, much better than the purely "old GM" products that are being recalled here (like the Cobalt for example, which was crap).

1st Gear: "Let's assume for the moment that GM isn't evil." I just assumed that it was too large and incompetent.

Wow, defending drunk drivers to make a point. I'm speechless.

Actually, the subcompact buyer is competing with the used-car market. Either you buy a new Yaris/Accent/Fiesta, or you buy a used car. Therefore, lowering the prices won't hurt them too much, and will actually help. That's, right. The Accent is NOT competing with the Elantra. The Fiesta is NOT competing with the…

YEAH!! That would certainly explain why it is the second best selling car in its segment, right?

This article with the Saturn crash is such horse shit. Nowhere in the list of sources does it prove that the ignition switch caused the accident. These bozos were driving around hopped up on xanax, probably stoned out of their minds, and on god knows what other drugs. A Law Enforcement Official even stated that the…
