In my view it contributed to more loss of life. GM knew of the faulty switch and reengineered it in 2005 but didn't recall existing cars on the road, then that was not brought out in bankruptcy court as required by law and the 0bama administration surely knew it.

Sad. I would argue the malfeasance by the Obama admin went beyond just short-circuiting and rigging the bankruptcy process. Once GM was owned by the gov’t, the Obama admin had incentive to help/encourage GM to keep the ignition switch issue quiet until the time was right. They were probably pressuring the regulators to go after Toyota for the possibly specious acceleration problem while simultaneously pressuring the regulators to ignore GM problems. Frightening - how many more people died because of this collusion?

Ford is the only domestic make of the remaining two I’ll consider buying again.
