Gm didn"t take enough responsibility for ignition problems. Vaucluse found a pattern of incompetence and neglect. The findings are brutally tough and brutally disturbing. Largely ignored a problem that would have costed 57 cents to repair. This report leaves so many questions unanswered and shows where leadership needs to be placed. In a court meeting families brought pictures of family member and friends dead. 35 million dollar fine costed the company 1. 7billion dollars. Gm doesn"t have a way to explain what happened. Why these gm employees didn"t push to get this problem solved. The employees feared to say something about the issue because his precentors got fired for doing the same thing. Ceo said the real problem here said the lower level people didn"t do what it took to get it to the higher level ups. Lot of people did know about the problem.
