Boxer Presses General Motors CEO Mary Barra on Rental Car Safety – 4/2/14

April 3, 2014

Senator Asks Why GM Is Part of Industry Effort to Block Legislation to Protect Consumers from Unsafe, Recalled Rental Cars – While at the Same Time Placing Owners of Its Own Recalled Cars into Rental Vehicles
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) today questioned General Motors CEO Mary Barra on rental car safety at a Senate Commerce Subcommittee hearing on GM’s recall of 2.6 million vehicles. Senator Boxer asked Barra to explain GM’s opposition – through the industry trade group, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers – to the Raechel and Jacqueline Houck Safe Rental Car Act, which would protect consumers from unsafe rental vehicles under recall – at the same time that GM is placing owners of its own recalled vehicles into rental cars.

CAS Statement on Expanded GM Recall

March 28, 2014

March 28, 2014

“With its reputation at stake, GM has no choice but to recall all vehicles from 2008 through 2011 which may have the defective ignition switch.  For consumers with GM vehicles, it’s a welcome step to see GM place safety above profits.”
