Here Are The 28.5 Million Cars Recalled By GM In The First Half Of 2014
One could say things about what is now without doubt the biggest company joke in the history of the US - maybe global - automotive sector, putting even East Germany's infamous Trabant to shame.
Things like following the just announced latest recall of another 7.6 million cars across models from 1997 to 2014, and another 800K+ cars thrown in just because, GM has recalled more cars in the first 6 months of 2014 than it has sold in all of 2011, 2012 and 2013. Which incidentally would be true as the chart below shows.
Things like it took GM over a decade to that these latest recalls affecting cars made in the 20th century resulted in "seven crashes, eight injuries and three fatalities."
Things like GM expecting "to take a charge of up to approximately $1.2 billion in the second quarter for the cost of recall-related repairs announced in the quarter. This amount includes a previously disclosed $700 million charge for recalls already announced during the quarter." Of course, it goes without saying that this now weekly, forget monthly, charge is clearly non-recurring, and one-time, and those 160 hedge funds who are long GM stock are praying isn't allowed to enter Non-GAAP EPS as suddenly they will be left holding a stock that has far less value.
Things like why on earth is anyone still buying the absolute garbage this company still makes, when even it now has admitted it will risk customer lives on a grand scale if it allows it to save some shareholder value.
Things like it may get nastier for GM now that moments ago, finally and long overdue, the Orange County DA filed a civil lawsuit against GM for "intentionally concealing defects" and putting human lives at risk in order to boost profits.
Things like we can't wait for how many million cars GM recalls next week.
We won't say any of those things. Instead we will merely show a table laying out all the 28,470,653 cars GM has recalled in the first half of 2014: a run rate which at this rate will mean GM may recall more cars by the end of 2014 than it has made since emerging from bankruptcy!

Bullish.
<Bailout tomorrow.
<Bailout day after tomorrow.
BTW you worded my 1st thought.
I can't wait to bail out this shitshow one more time!!!
Sure shows how good them Volts is. Narry a recall.
Stop and think twice, folks.
It's built on a Cruise platform.... etc....

"SHITS FUCKED"
American Exceptionalism on Wheels - USA, USA, USA!
Ignorant, vacuous comment.
The GM shitshow is the antithesis of American exceptionalisim, resembling instead the productive failures of non-market driven Eurotrash Socialism.
But you couldn't wait to wet yourself over yet another opportunity to slam the United States.
Remember Ralph Nader? He was warning everyone about GM cars back in the 60s. They were hiding dangerous safety defects way back then.
But nobody wanted to listen. The MSM said he was crazy, so all the stupid sheeple laughed and laughed. Nothing's changed. People have been warned a million times about buying GM products. Hard to feel sorry for them when they'd rather watch TV and tune out real info.
What's the difference between GM and Lois Learner. Lois can't recall anything, GM recalls everything.
Remember how Congress raked the President of Toyota over the coals in 2010 over what turned out to be a bullshit smear operation?
TOYOTA PRESIDENT AIKO TOYODA ON TOYOTA RECALLS (Feb 2010)
EARLY TESTS PIN TOYOTA ACCIDENTS ON DRIVERS (WSJ, Jul 2010)
TOYOTA RECALL: THE FRAUD EXPOSED AND VERIFIED (Feb 2011)
Which one of these can we expect to take the stand and weep on camera?

Gummint Motors...
Says it all.
Mighty Hyundai will be a factor, even in the US vs. GM. Mark my words.
The fact that a Ford Pinto is a better car than GM's entire lineup says a lot...
\s
Gm the company that brought to you The Chevy Vega. the Metro, The Volt, the notorious Cadillac Northstar engine with fine threads on the headbolts that strip out if it ever gets hot rendering the entire engine worthless on a luxury line no less that mechanics will not even touch.on and on.
The most Bureaucratic Layered company in the history of carmaking and they want me to believe only one engineer knew about the ignition. OTAY>
LET IT DIE ALREADY
Extended faily members continue to buy their garbage.
My mom (fixed income, and a low one at that) forks over hard-earned cash every 4 or 5 years for shitboxes from GM. Latest is an '11 Malibu. Has to be one of the worst pieces of shits on the road.
I'm 5'8", and every time I have to move it i feel claustrophobic in it. Worse, I hit my head evry time I get into and out of it.
Let the company die, already.
I've had 2 of the Korean cars and my 2011 Sonata was as nice as my 2006 Mercedes CL65 AMG (though certainly not as fast). My current 2013 Santa Fe is a great, trouble free smaller SUV. They could truly be a car for the future if they install bullet proofing and anti kidnapping features. My guess is that the USA is about to see the kind of thing that works for 'entrepeneurs' in so many other countries with currency 'issues'.
The Sonata is a nice car. They even have a hybrid out.
+ 1 for bullet-proof cars. You're probably right.
I have a Sonata and a Tucson -- both excellent and trouble-free. Glad Hyundai decided to finally get into the car business. Plan to keep 'em until they just plain quit.
I went from driving an '07 Infiniti G35 (my pick) to fully loaded '13 Kia Sorento (wife's turn to pick).
The G was a very fun daily driver, so I really wanted the small Infiniti SUV at first. But they wanted $15k more for pretty much the same thing as the Kia. Very pleased with the Kia....
Kia's minivan (Sedona) wasn't a very good vehicle. Costly repairs and the thing never got warm in the winter. If it was really cold outside I couldn't drive long distances because the windshield would freeze even on maximum heat (Granted I live in a really cold place) but I bought the Nissan minivan after the Sedona died a horrible death and was pleased.
Wouldn't touch the GM minivan, every time I see one it is rusted out.
How many lives would have been saved if the Democrats had not bailed out their union dues paying campaign contributors?
Remember, the "surplus" contributions not spent on the election is kept by the politician.
A recall is an opportunity and job creator. Think of all the rental cars and mechanics needed to repair these recalls. Bullish is right, there will will also be a nice write off at year end for the tax advisers over at GM.
Broken Window fallacy.
Hey Zirp. You are right. The big auto companies issue a lot of recalls only to drive customers back in to the dealerships. Once there the dealer offers a free 50 point inspection and voila ... hundreds of dollars of unneeded repairs.
Cash For Clunkers Part II (or III? IV?)
Bullish!
That's what you get when you give money to a rubbish company and reward it for bad behaviour... you get more of the same and to a much greater degree
Americans are truly idiots.. how in the fuck can you go and actually purchase one of these piece of shit cars. Madoff is in prison for stealing but yet no one will do any time at GM even thou people ended up dying due to their negligence.
"how in the fuck can you go and actually purchase one of these piece of shit cars."
No one else offers you financing?

Zero down, zero interest for 84 months, $12K instant cash rebate. How can you NOT buy?
There's ALOT of brand loyal gm fanatics out there. Fucking peices of shit could be on fire and still will have buyers.
That's true. They did used to make good cars. It's hard to break older people of some habits. My parents had a 2000 suburban, 285k on it, still kept it to haul dirty things rather than use the new one. Never had hardly any problems with it, original drivetrain, been a great truck. They just bought a brand new LTZ Tahoe, fully loaded. Usually run close to 60k brand new. They got a lot knocked off that price(total mind blower) back in October before they bought it. Already had to take it back cuz the stupid automatic tailgate lift replaced cuz it wouldn't work, seized up, and you couldn't even open it manually. So fucking stupid, who the hell even needs that anyway? But thy love that truck, and it sure is pretty. I still have my 04 z71 Tahoe, been paid off for years, great truck, and I driving it until it falls apart, but neither me or my wife will ever buy another GM vehicle. They have lost me as a customer for life. My parents, like millions of other Americans, are still hung up on the GM that used to exist a decade or two ago.
I have similar experiences regularly with my boss and co-workers who bum rides from me to pick up their crappers from repair shops. Jeep, Chrysler, GM, Ford, it doesn't seem to matter: all American carmakers seem infected. Funny thing is, they know my car is reliable, they keep bumming rides from me, and it doesn't occur to them that maybe, just maybe, they should branch out from their lemons. Old habits die HARD!
Funny thing is, as a GM purchaser from a couple of decades ago.....they were pieces of sh** then too. Owned several absolute dogs from the late 1970's through late 1980's, horrible vehicles that leaked, rattled, groaned, squeaked, and frequently left me stranded on the side of the road with expensive repairs. "On A Clear Day You Can See General Motors" (by former Chevy president John DeLorean) and "Roger And Me" pretty well covered that period's dogs, such as the "6000 SUX" lampooned in the original Robocop film (meant to be a Pontiac 6000).
They lost me and my family as customers forever 20+ years ago, I'd never again touch anything GM makes. Seems they have learned nothing since Ralph Nader was writing books.
Fuck you. I'm an American and haven't bought a GM product since my 1966 Chevelle. It was a sweet car!
Luckily everyone responsible for the recalls has been fired. No more recalls ever at GM.
They're just working backwards on the list of every vehicle GM ever made. Six months from now, they'll be issuing the recall notices for all LaSalles.
Somehow I think cheap shit parts bought in China had something to do with this.
China? Obama's little girls are stamping out parts in the basement of the White House. I was wondering why I never saw them....
Actually, there is a lot of overlap between carmakers with respect to sourcing and manufacturing parts. The problem seems to be more a matter of design specifications and quality control than choice of plant.
They should have had a V8.
Obamavoter don't care bout no recall. Obamavoter done gets a car fo 129 months six percent interest, pay like fittynine bucks a month.
Ain't nobody else gonna give cars away like thats. Plus if the Cruze breaks, gonna call Al and he gonna gets us all free cars. Call his buddy Obama and gets us free cars. GM don't want to piss of Oprah neither.
Rayciss.
So they made 9 million defective cars a year and a total of 7 of them crashed?
7 crashed cars out of 28,500,000 made, am I reading that right?
PS I agree GM cars are crap, I gave up on them in 1980. But let's not lose our heads.
At that rate of going you are more likely to be struck by lightning or win the lottery than be killed by your GM car.
Thats their next advertising slogan right there
"You got more chance of winning the lottery than dying in one of our cars"
GM - drive the american dream, crash the american nightmare
It is easy to make that statement when you have stopped driving their cars. In any case a defective car is a defective car.
7 bad ones out of 28,500,000? Tell me you haven't made 7 mistakes in the last 10 years.
I made 9 mistakes in the last 10 years - none of them resulted in the immolation of a family of 4, however.
Someone hasn't seen Fight Club...
They should just build in the recall charges into the base price since they will have to recall every one of their POS at some point.
I am enjoying watching Bama voters driving around in brand new Escalades and other GM shit haulers. Especially with gas tickling the balls of 5 bucks a gallon around here.
we build shit
If you build shit- they will cum?
In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and I only saw ONE, an American made, Chevy Camaro cost more than R$ 100,000. Or about $45,000 US.
MSRP here (Pre-Recalled) is @ $22 grand.
Google Abandoned Packard Factory Detroit Images
Tells you everything you need to know about 'Murika
Who would actually buy one now.....I mean image is everything for a car maker..and GM has lost it now....doesnt matter if they are doing the RIGHT THING,,,,they are telling the world they are building crap...stupid to buy one now....but watch Obama give a speech saying they are good cars...
You got that right. The only true demo was folks like my father whom has been buying Buicks since he could afford them as way back in the day they were a status symbol.
Well, the old calvary colonel is 85 - and this year for the FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE - he bought the Furd MKZ.
Now when you start losing the Merikan blue hairs than they are well and truly fucked.
Even if they go banko and get stripped and taken private they will never shake the Government Motors label. That tattoo is on forever (or until they go banko again next year.. - whichever comes first)
Maybe they'll rename themselves, like Altria, or ISIS did.
haha ever heard of Ally?
It's sad about GM but it's also sad that a great many politicians and bankers cannot be recalled to their mothers' wombs.
When I look at some of 'em, I'm not 100% convinced they came from a womb.
So GM has had 27.5 million recalls and all the other automakers are perfect.
Makes you wonder what's under their hoods
..
Oh no. Being compared to Trabant.
Its only a matter of time before a "job-creation package" is announced and the funds are swiftly transferred to GMs bank account.
If each recall costs GM $500 on average that's 14 billion dollars. Good luck staying in business unless Uncle Barry rides to the rescue with another bailout.
Refitting for NSA surveillance!
I doubt I'd buy another GM car but my 2002 Camaro Z28 is the most reliable car I've ever owned and it's not on the recall list. Last car I bought was a 2009 Murano for the wifend it's doing well.
Sorry, I disagree. Yes the expense of recalling various GM vehicles will be substantial. But the cars being produced by GM now (Since 2012) are among the best in the car industry. Perfect? No. Greatly improved? Yes. If GM ever fails again it will not be because of the product but because of the inept actions of the Federal Reserve that erode the value of the dollar (inflation). Let's not be so spiteful toward a company that has been a positive economic engine for this country for over 100 years. At least they BUILD SOMETHING.
WHY IS THE STOCK STILL $36?
the world wants to know?
could it be that the word has been spread amongst the Big Institutions NOT TO SELL GM?
I dont see how any other explanation is possible.
We have one GM car called the peasant mobile. Once that piece of shit dies, the Mrs will be back to a late model Toyota or Lexus. She loves driving foreign cars. Her GM came from Canada.
Buy American't!!
What' good enough for GM is good enough for Amerika.
Druling reenactment for 2008 cash for cluncker TV Skit. Fuck you bathhouse Berry.
"Chevy runs deep"....in shit!
Latest on the dealer front (besides the incredible heap of shitboxes in the pipeline) is the service departments won't answer the phones, anymore. There isn't even an option for their service departments when a customer calls.
Unbelievable. Just fucking die, already.
BS we gettin played.
Mrs Atomizer states, "You can pick up a car in Greer, SC and I pick out one in Georgetown, KY.
Fuck GM! Take your union and shove it up your asshole.
Subsided Kenyan nigger shit cars
The GM bond holders took a fucking dumb loss when TARP program was formulated.
The genius Niger though a subsidize racket would work. Channel stuffing doesn't work cunt rags.
ON STAR works great
I hope to hell the GM execs are actually embarrased by this show of stupidity. Otherwise they're doomed.
