    General Motors To Remain Under Oversight of U.S. Safety Regulators

      GM Will Still Be Under the Close Eye of NHTSA for Another Year

    Last May, General Motors agreed to a consent order from federal safety regulators over its decision on waiting too long recall 2.6 million vehicles with faulty ignition switches. Part of the order was to disclose detailed safety issues and meet with officials from NHTSA monthly. This could be extended up to three years. Well after a year of being under scrutiny, NHTSA has decided to extend it one more year.

     

    The Detroit News obtained a letter from NHTSA to GM dated on May 14th. The letter, written by Timothy H. Goodman (a lawyer for NHTSA) to GM North America general counsel Lucy Clark Dougherty said the agency would be extending the order. Now this isn't because NHTSA is disappointed in how GM handling recalls now. But "to continue the dialogue those requirements have facilitated on important safety issues," as the agency has seen this to be a productive tool.

     

    "GM learned a hard lesson last year. We expect to see the improvements they've made continue and that their new approaches are applied to every GM safety issue and every recall. Today's action will help keep them on the right track," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx in a statement.

      I could see one of those going bankrupt and gone within the decade without any other company picking them up. Probably Ford.  At least GM has EV development on par to the best of the best in the world, which now would be from China.  I read somewheres that GM has 800V platform ready to go in China but will not release that here in North America for various reasons.  But in the long term of things concerning the global temperature around the US and how it conducts itself on the world stage, and from within, I dont think that an 800V platform will protect GM from the inevitable downfall that is to come BECAUSE of what is happening. Ford started this stackable EV platform network thing just a tad too late.  I dont think Ford makes the cut.  The F-150 has gotten to be too expensive for an average Joe to buy that if and when the US economy collapses, F-150 sales will mean jack shyte. Its only in North America where full sized pick-ups mean a damned thing.   I dont think when the US economy has tanked that full sized pick up truck sales will be all that important to any OEM.  Lets say Canada drops its Chinese EV tariffs and China floods the Canadian market and Canadians just outright gorges on Chinese EVs, the sales from Canada that GM and Ford make will be DEVASTATING to Detroit.  Ouur GM and Ford factories will close for sure.  But...the SUPPLY chains will also falter for GM and Ford from Canada... Maybe Canada brokers a deal for Chinese OEMs to take over former GM and Ford factories? Maybe Chinese OEMs construct new ones? Maybe China says no to that. Canada could also go to Stellantis and Mercedes/BMW/VAG and possiby Peugeot/Renault? Mexico and Canada do not have tariffs on cars being built in Canada or Mexico... This is a mess ANYWAY you slices it.

      On another note... The Toronto Blue Jays are getting their asses kicked by the Mariners.  Game is still on and the MAriners are winning 10-3 bottom of the 7th. Not a pretty site. As much as I am all about Elbows up and would have liked to see the Blue Jays kick some Yankee ass, which they did, literally kick Yankee ass  En Espagnol As a Montrealer, and an Expos fan, I can also find some joy in this ass kicking on the Blue Jays.    The song is catchy as phoque!!!  Go Blue Jays!    Oh... Lets plug something about Montreal to change the vibe. Like I promised.   Proud to be from Montreal!

      I hope Canada does get all of the sh!tty POS Chinese-built EVs and in 3 years everybody realizes that they’re sh!tty Chinese-built.
