1. 6 million vehicles and a dozen deaths, General Motors is now offering 500 towards the purchase of a new car for owners affected by the controversial ignition switch recall. Joining me now a former senior enforcement attorney for the national highway Traffic Safety administration, the regulator of gm. Great to have you here, alan. Thanks for coming on. I want first your reaction to what gm is offering to consumers . Well, the 500 credit toward the purchase of a new vehicle does nothing to remedy or fix the old vehicle which is defective. And theyre not offering to repurchase the old vehicle. So, you know, i dont, view it as constructive from a safety standpoint. And they have had some strategic reason for doing it, kind of a, you know, a nonbuyback preemptive strike on class actions or try to create some goodwill for their customers who have been driving around with defective vehicles. Frankly if i was a customer, had a defective vehicle i would be less inclined to buy another vehicl
