and 15,000 pages of documents from nhtsa. so we're not sitting idly on this, we're take something action. so i want to go back through this and elaborate that something could still not meet specifications. and be acceptable for safety. and i want to hear from you when it is okay to deviate from specifications. and people in the process not be aware of this. >> well, i think when you look, as you start developing something, you have a design specification. but what's most important in the testing that we're doing now is, and had done in the past but are doing in a much more broad fashion now relates to the actual performance of the part and how the part operates in a subsystem. how it operates in a broader system. and how it operates in the vehicle. and so, as we design now, we're validating at the part level, with the new organization we put together, called the product integrity organization. they're actually now looking into a much more validation as it relates to subsystems. because what you really want to know as all the

they brought it to their bosses at nhtsa and it never went anywhere. how that happened, i think that needs to be investigated as well. it can't be 100% on general motors. it needs to be a combination of the person watching has also got to be the person being watched. >> that's right. nhtsa has dropped the ball here. so many of our guests have made that point. quickly, 8% of the gm cars have been fixed. that is well below they want to see done. what is going on? why is this taking so long? >> they have to get product to the dealers. dealers have to get the cars in. they know they will not get all the vehicles in. 60 to 80% of the vehicles still on the road will go in for this recall. that is why it is buyer beware when you buy a used vehicle. they're putting out incentives for dealers to do this quickly as possible. i'm sure they want to. the last thing they want to do is potentially have cars on the road with problems. smart dealers are using this as opportunity to turn into a sale. you know what? your car is on recall. there's a problem with it. let m

in in case, now nhtsa is looking at other potential situations, where a problem of one symptom may be related to another, it finds that chrysler warrants a closer look. gerri: beat goes on. i think that story is about to wrap up, and it goes on. more recalls, more folks. if you are one of these people with this problem, if you have received a letter from gm, take care of it. problems could ensue, jeff thank you. great to see you, appreciate your time. gerri: christian who's daughter amber was killed in a chevy cobalt a year after gm knew there was a problem with the ignition switch, 9 years before the car was recalled. that accident is one of the first linked to the defective switch, laura thank you for being with us. i am so pleased you agreed to be with us, let's start with this hearing that you sat through a couple rows behind the ceo mary barra and a couple of other families, were you satisfied with her answers? >> absolutely not, nothing new came out of testimony today in my opinion, she did not answer all of the questions, hedgeed around some, they asked whether there were more

nhtsa to file in this database? yes or no? >> yes. >> do you think that is good for other companies? ... you think that that is good for other companies? >> yes, i do. >> gentleman's time has expired. >> mr. chairman, i thank you for your courtesy. >> thank you very much. now recognize the vice chair of the full committee. >> miss barra, thank you for coming back. i've got a few questions for you, and i have to tell you many of my questions that i asked and couldn't get answers for in april when you were with us, you said after mr. valukas finished the report, you hoped to be able to answer these questions. now, since that time, i have been able to be on the floor at the spring hill facility which is near my district. we've got 1,868 employees that certainly do not want the gm brand to be tarnishedl and so it's important to me on behalf of all those constituents that we get some answers and that we do this and very quickly so we thank you for coming back to us today. i want to go back to something i asked you about

nhtsa needs to get up off its back, set up a hot line, let general motors people send in what they knowmentation, check it out, see if it's real, and take care of it. i know online a lot of people are saying that they're not going to buy general motors cars anymore. that's not the answer. general motors has to be fixed because if you're driving a nongeneral motors car on the road and there are general motors cars around you, you're in the ball game. >> my thanks to bill mcaleer. we reached out to general motors for a comment on our exclusive interview with william mcaleer and here it is. if mcaleer's concerns were submitted by an employee today they would be thoroughly investigated within the safety organization. however, that is not to imply that in this particular case his issues weren't. the company has not had sufficient time to analyze this particular case. this individual litigated his case and lost. while it's important to take every suggested safety concern seriously, not every suggestion results in a defect. next, you'll hear the first reaction of one family who lost their daug

i lost complete control of the vehicle, wrote one owner to nhtsa.ars in other lanes trying to maintain control, wrote soot owner in florida. i held on for dear life, trying to keep it in the lane, wrote an owner in oregon. there is no current government investigation on the 2012 ford focus issues. but the safety experts who created the list say the number of complaints on steering issues involving the focus are far greater than would be expected, even for a best-selling vehicle. >> we're not saying there is a defect with the ford focus. we're saying, this is a top trending problem. someone needs to investigate this and see why. >> reporter: the parents of brooke melton say they hope this list will mean their daughter's death can help prevent others. >> the only way i know to overcome the pain and make the pain less is to do something positive like this. and try to strive for doing something positive for someone else. >> reporter: ford says it would move quickly if it thought the data indicated the safety recall was needed. but it does not recognize

nhtsa cited confidential gm documents that showed dm lawyers discouraged engineers from using vague,descriptive words with emotional connotations in reporting the defects. among the words bad, dangerous, critical, never, serious, and you're toast. that shows a financially troubled co-in the years preceding bankruptcy obsessed with cutting costs over engineering and quality. >> many analysts believe gm has turned a corner. recent sales of newer vehicles seem to confirm that. barra told us today, trust me, we'll be a better company. >> doug, thank you. >>> weekly applications for unemployment benefits rose by 8,000 last week. the federal government's job numbers for may come out tomorrow. the dow gained 99 today, the s&p 500 up 13, nasdaq finished ahead 45. still ahead, howie kurtz at how the media are handling the terrorist swap story. >>> and head over to our home page fox news.com/special report and check out rick 11 thaul's story. we'll be right back. honestly, the off-season isn't really off for me. i've got a lot to do. that's why i got my surface. it's great for watching game fi

nhtsa says they got complaints that the driver's knee can bump the ignition and move it out of the runposition. the agency says it learned of these issues because of stepped up communications with auto and part manufacturers following that massive gm recall. >>> and it will soon be easier to comparison shop when you shop online. six of the nation's largest retailers including walmart, costco, cbs vs and walgreens have agreed to start displaying the unit prices of items like food, drugs and other items. many already do price per ounce or unit. they hope to add the new information to the sites by early next year. >>> hundreds of music videos made by independent artists could disappear from youtube in a days. the company says the soon to be erased artists are refusing to sign a new contract. this comes as youtube gets ready to launch its new paid streaming service develop to compete with spotify and beats. youtube says 95% of musicians have agreed to the new terms, but independent musicians say youtube is offering them an inferior deal. >>> and remember, if you have a consumer story or pr

nhtsa says it will.nberg has to do this delicate and really, really sad task, chore of putting a value on a human life, and maybe also on injuries that happened inside of the gm cars. there were the 13 deaths and 54 crashes, but ken feinberg has been given a great deal of authority inside gm to make a determination of who is eligible, the scope of this, what they'll be paid, what they'll be compensated for and just what it's going to look like. we'll find out on monday. here are some of the things he's worked on before, the deepwater horizon spill, $20 billion, the $7 billion for the 9/11 terrorist attack and $61 million for the boston marathon bombing. the marathon bombing payout was donations. he was asked to take the voluntary donations and disburse them among the victim's families, $2.2 million for each marathon victim is what he gave, $208,000 for the virginia tech massacre, per victim there, and the 9/11 terrorist attack he has said ken feinberg said he learned some lessons from that. that you migh

it is also apparent that all automakers communicate clearly and promptly with nhtsa. i said all automakers. will gm create a centralized database for all communications and train its employees who communicate with nhtsa to file their communications in this database, yes or no?

federal government not doing it in the past or doing a very poor job in the past and as a result the nhtsaety administration, is watching them so closely that general motors has taken a position anything close to a defect we're going to recall. now, some of the recalls that we've heard about over the last three months, david, have been some ticky-tack things, you would say it's a service bulletin. the one today, 7.6 million, they know of at least three fatali fatalities that they believe are linked with this issue. they know of seven crashes. i mean so, this is one of those that you're looking at and saying, wait a second, there's something more serious here than in the past we blew off. we said, well, you can expect a certain number of crashes with the vehicles and that may be why it didn't get the attention it got that it's getting cite now. so that's -- what's happening here is general motors has gone back and they are looking at every complaint, every potential problem, and in some cases they're saying you know what, there's enough to initiate a recall, let's do it. >> going through ev

fore were a lot of calls legislative changes, to give more power to knit some -- to nhtsa. someng to hear kind of restitution. ken feinberg was supposed to be into action 30 to 60 days after the last hearing. it has been almost 80 days and that is a concern for the congresspeople here. >> one comment earlier was that she looked more confident this her in her speeches or in commentary, that she was taking a more bold response. do you see that? absolutely. it you see that from her. if you came here to the first set of hearings and if you listened to her give her first public appearance speeches about this issue, you can tell she had -- a lot. her lawyers warn her not to divulge too much information. it is difficult to answer -- if you areout not used to. she has gained self-confidence and is putting more -- i am not saying she was lying to begin with, but she is giving more honesty. she is not giving the answers you want, because she claims she positively did not know about this and neither did any senior executive. the report seems to support that. bergerresentative from pos

at the cost of tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars, nhtsa officials traveled across the country to testify before state legislative committees, participate in conferences and produce videotapes and other printed materials, all toward the goal of weakening state laws requiring motorcyclists to wear helmets. nhtsa has an appropriate role to play in developing programs that prevent accidents but congress has made it clear, they should not be in the business of lobbying state college lay sures. -- lobbying state legislatures. unfortunately the act of 2014 included language that repealed the lobby ban and that provision is carried over into this bill. allowing federal agencies to lobby states would add to the severe governmental overreach while violating the principles our founding fathers laid out in the 10th amendment. the amendment i'm offering today clarifies that federal government agencies should not be in the business of lobbying state legislators. it is an inappropriate use of taxpayer dollars and it violates the rights of states and local communities to make their own decisions

i promised we would share the findings of the report with congress, our regulators, nhtsa and the courts. i promised we would hold people accountable and make substantial and rapid changes in our approach to recalls. finally, i promised we would engage ken fineberg to develop a just and timely program for compensating families who lost loved ones and those who suffered serious physical injury. we have done all of these things and more. and i welcome the opportunity to discuss them with you further. the report as you know is extremely thorough, brutally tough, and deeply troubling. it paints a picture of an organization that failed to handle a complex safety issue in a responsible way. i was deeply saddened and disturbed as i read the report. for those of us who have dedicated our lives to this company, it is enormously painful to have our shortcomings laid out so vividly. there's to way to minimize the serious of what mr. vol lucas and his investigators uncovered. on june 2, he presented the findings of his investigation to the board of directors of general motors. i will leave it to him

my understanding is nhtsa, our regulator, will post the report on their website, which will be available for anyone to review. i can tell you this report is extremely thorough, brutally tough, and deeply troubling. for those of us who have dedicated our lives to this company, it is enormously painful to see our shortcomings laid out so vividly. as i read the report, i was deeply saddened and disturbed. but this isn't about our feelings and it's not about our egos. this is about our responsibility to act with integrity, honor, and be committed to excellence. with all of our colleagues around the world watching, i want it known that this recall issue isn't merely an engineering or a manufacturing or a legal problem. it represents a fundamental failure to meet the basic needs of these customers. our job is clear. to build high-quality, safe vehicles. in this case, with these vehicles, we simply didn't do our job. we failed these customers, and we must face up to it and we must learn from it. to that end, and on behalf of gm, we pledge that we will use the findings and the recommendations fr
