THe buy back has begun.

News from The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) -- General Motors will buy Chevrolet Volts back from any owner who is afraid the electric cars will catch fire, the company's CEO said Thursday.

In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, CEO Dan Akerson insisted that the cars are safe, but said the company will purchase the Volts because it wants to keep customers happy. Three fires have broken out in Volts after side-impact crash tests done by the federal government.

Akerson said that if necessary, GM will recall the more than 6,000 Volts now on the road in the U.S. and repair them once the company and federal safety regulators figure out what caused the fires.


Once they figure it out! Ohhhhh that's a dumbocrat solution.

Where does it say they are throwing in the towel?

"If we find that is the solution, we will retrofit every one of them," Akerson said. "We'll make it right."

And hey..you do know that many cars are recalled. Are you as overjoyed by that as well?

How much has GM contributed to Obama? How much has the UAW?

 

[Sallow]

What I see here is that a company is standing behind, and taking responsibility for, their product, and extending itself to serve its customers and to ensure that they are happy with the company. Not sure what is so noteworthy here, other than the fact that this is an example of how the market can solve problems on its own.

It's called the "Deming's Cycle". Conservatives rejected it until it worked in Japan.

It's really simple.

Plan - Generate a plan.
Do - Implement a plan.
Check - Check for any flaws in the plan.
Act - Act to fix the flaws and improve the process.

Conservative plan - It's called "The Lockstep Mentality".

If it ain't broke don't fix it.
If man were meant to fly, he'd have wings.

franco is such a hyper-partisan tool, it would be sad if it were not so laughable

I think francoHFW is Nancy Pelosi or maybe Barney Frank.

He never debates. He would rather call names and tell you to STFU. I have reached the point, that I only read his post, if I need a laugh.

 

[francoHFW]

I debate the hell out of you brainwashed, ignorant morons, and I hate what the GOP/Rush/Fox/Moonie propaganda has done to you. The Volt is a great car and is selling great now the GOP has momentarily stopped screwing up the country and the world. Change the channel...

Read my sig and prove anything wrong. Idiot. ANYTHING

Mate, I don't think you did anything to further your cause with this post.

Fragly, Scarlett, I don't give a dab. They NEVER learn, in my experience.

I'm sorry- dupes are lovely people- but I can't take their lazy, ignorant, careless, stupid politics a minute longer. Sorry.

Another dishonest, idiotic OP from the brainwashed. Nobody's throwing in the towel. This is a POSSIBLE problem with ANY car that's battery powered, and there have been NO such problems outside the lab.

I think they're doing a TERRIBLE job of selling it. If you're clueless, STFU. tyvm

DITTOHEADS!

You have been clueless for a long time and you keep opening your mouth and farting.

I know - I shot beer out of my nose when I saw on the news that the environmentalists car of the future batteries were lighting on fire...



Progressives won't let their kids work but they will personally put them in an unsafe car...

The freaking things are just a status symbol of the elite greenies. If they worked we would be standing in line to buy them.

All those idiots who drive the green cars are.

The cars may as well come with bumper stickers that say: "I'm better than you are."

So people are happy that GM is having problems and rooting for the failure of the Volt? How can you consider yourself an American and root against GM or any other storied American company? I am as uncomfortable as anyone with the way the GM bankruptcy was handled, favoring the unions over the bondholders. But I want American business to succeed; I don't care if the government did something that wasn't to my liking. Would you rather give this business to China? Wake up fellas, this is our future you're talking about.

Isn't it somewhat comforting to know that IF they find a solution they will retrofit the cars?
