General Motors unacceptable corporate attitude toward safety recalls put another blemish on Corvette C7 Stingray

Currently, the queen of recalls, Mary Barra directed +General Motors to issue 3 recalls affecting millions of econo boxes from the past, including jewels like Cobalt, Malibu and Impala.

The current recalls:

Recall #1 - cruise control malfunction and failure. Parts currently unavailable, ETA N/A.

Recall #2 - brake pedal and brake light malfunction and failure. Parts currently unavailable, ETA N/A.

Recall #3 - automatic transmission shift cable may disntegratei, resulting in inability to select gear, or retaining selected gear, possibly resulting in collision with other vehicles. Parts currently unavailable, ETA N/A.

The pattern observed here is extremely disturbing.  Without any doubt, GM fucked up in the past, cheap materials, flawed designs and lack of will to correct mistakes even after discovering the problems.

For an average driver, the issues and their implications may sound right down scary, creating a perception OPEN safety recalls on record?  What value would be determined by a dealer upon a trade in?  Who would be liable for any accident that may happen in the future, until the recalls are addressed?

In reality, the owners of these cars are fully screwed and what is really shitty, is the fact that these are people on limited incomes (who else would be driving POS like that?)

Now, going back to Corvette Stingray and even the previous generations of the car.  The Stingray is already plagued with so many issues and with no parts available to fix them.  What would happen if there are multiple safety recalls issued on Stingray or the previous generation and parts are not available to fix them?

The owners of Stingrays and C6 would be royally SCREWED just like the owners of the pieces of junk are currently.  The ability of selling or trading Corvettes with open safety recalls would be non existent unless someone literally wants to give them away.

The red flags are already there:  problems with the Stingray persist and continue to appear daily, the parts needed for repairs are unavailable.  The Stingray is not a Cobalt, there are very limited numbers of these cars out there, there should sufficient spares available but there are not.  It does not take a genius to figure out what would happened if ALL Stingrays and older Corvettes were recalled.

The best approach to deal with this possibility::  STAY AWAY FROM CORVETTE and GM horrible customer service and corporate attitude.  There is no doubt that the exact same fate of Cobalt owners would be meeting the Stingray owners.

Apparently Mary Barra and +Tadge Juechter do not understand that what really gives an edge to a car when competing with other makes is not performance but quality and customer service.  As it is, the General Motors is a fully failed company and any car that comes from this company should be avoided, no matter how good it may be (and Stingray is not that great anyway).
