C&D named GM as one of its winners for 2014 for the uptick in sales, and, as usual, said it best:
“GM became the car industry’s undisputed leader in 2014 by issuing 75-plus recall notices that affected something north of 30 million vehicles, or 28.7 million more GM vehicles than most people thought were actually still running. Counting a few Oaklands and LaSalles, more than 8 million were recalled because of their self turning ignition keys. Other GM boo boos include a transmission cable that can disconnect, causing the vehicle to roll away, a headlight switch that catches fire, and a bit called the “superhold” that, basically, doesn’t. The one thing GM can’t recall is why it’s called the superhold. But it sure figured out a way to get people back into its dealerships.”
