The General Motors CEO declared today in front of Congress members that she "will not rest" until safety and non-compliance issues affecting millions of GM vehicles will be fixed. Barra underlined that the manufacturer's main focus at the moment is to fix the "deep underlying cultural problems" uncovered in the Valukas report.
11 weeks after she bluntly told House and Senate members that she cannot answer delicate questions about the infamous Chevrolet Cobalt ignition switch recall, the most powerful woman in the auto industry returned to Capitol Hill and vowed that General Motors will set new standards in terms of vehicle safety.
"I am not going to accept business as usual at GM… We are a good company, but we can and must be much better. That's my focus and that's my promise to you, our employees, our customers, our shareholders and the American people." Mary Barra concluded her oral testimony before the U.S. House Committee on Energy & Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.
So what conclusions are to be drawn from the facts presented? Well, not many and not enough to be frank. The General Motors CEO just exhibited her puppy dog eyes to the Courts and prepared a speech made out of the right words to keep the government boys at bay, at least for the moment. What Ms. Mary T. Barra said today is basically a "Best Of" compilation of everything you've heard in the news about GM the past few weeks.
In other news, we wish to congratulate General Motors for its most recent accomplishment. Congratulations on breaking the 20 million recalled vehicles mark thanks to the call back operations announced yesterday.
