House GM Hearing Highlights in 4 Minutes

The hearing — titled “The GM Ignition Switch Recall: Why Did It Take So Long?” — was meant to investigate GM’s culpability and response to faulty ignition switches in small cars. The ignition switches are believed to have resulted in injuries and deaths of several car owners.
