My daughter had a cobalt. I guess she is lucky to be alive. She loved that car too. This story is very disturbing. I should probably read the whole thing. The Times can still do a good job on some things, at least the writing can be decent.
Bill Vlasic at the Times has been on this story from the beginning and has done a good job of reporting. There are many other articles posted here at FR, enter keyword gm for them.
