Boston, MA 09/17/2014 (wallstreetpr) – According to reports, the nation’s top-notched auto regulator had to face a lot of criticism after it failed to identify the defect in the cars of General Motors Company (NYSE:GM). Though a few top officials of the auto regulator tried to shift the complete blame on manufacturing company, but they couldn’t stop people from criticizing.
What’s the matter:
Hours after the release of a scathing report by a House committee situation got worse when the Senate subcommittee that was hearing this case turned tense and angry. The scathing report revealed the failure of this agency to identify the ignition-stalling defect in the cars manufactured by General Motors Company (NYSE:GM). The ignition-stalling defect has so far caused 19 deaths. The situation became out of the control when lawmakers from both the parties started accusing each other. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration blamed the agency for overlooking the evidences that could otherwise save lives of many people. According to Senator Claire McCaskill, the auto agency was more inclined towards singing ‘Kumbaya’ with the manufacturers, rather than standing up against them.
When reporters got in touch with the management of the auto agency, David Friedman, the deputy administrator of the agency came forward to comment on this issue. He said that the main reason behind failing to identify the evidences that could save lives of many was due to uncooperative automakers like General Motors Company (NYSE:GM). He also accused GM of hiding critical information from the agency. He further added that N.H.T.S.A. was trying to find out important points about this case, while GM was trying to hide all those points from the agency.
Although senators knew that GM was at fault for most of the time, but still they kept on saying that the agency could have used its authority in order to gather all the required evidences from General Motors Company (NYSE:GM).
