The people in charge of quality control at General Motors were ignored and two who then went to the feds were sidelined and their careers ended. GM had knowledge of defects like the Cobalt ignition switches that they allowed to continue in production and to be used in later models sold by GM. They did the same with fuel lines that would pop off and spray gasoline inside the engine compartment.
People died but no one at GM will ever spend a day in jail. No different than with Ford when Iaccoca decided it was more profitable to not replace the Pinto gas caps or the Crown Vic gas tanks even though their owners were being burned alive in accidents. In the USA corporate executives get away with murder. It is the American way of business where all that matters is making money.
My current truck is a GM but my next one will not.
