Yesterday, I found out that GM issued a "Stop Sales" order to all their Chevy dealerships for the Aveo. That is their little econobox from Daewoo in Korea.
I couldn't find out what is the problem with it. Things are very hush hush.
It is unprecedented for GM or any American car maker, for that mater , to do something like this. Usually, they wait for the lawsuits to pile up and the government to twist their arm.

Could Bob Lutz actually have changed GM's corporate ethics and morality or are they just worried about billions in liability $.
It must be a very bad problem with this particular car.
I didn't hear about this at all - I wonder what GM did to convince all the news outlets to not cover the story last week. Anyway, they've lifted the order and sales have resumed:
