Melton Family Commends NHTSA Probe into GM Cobalt Recall – Market Watch
Ken and Beth Melton, parents of a 29-year-old Georgia woman who died in crash linked to an ignition switch defect, praised the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for opening a Timeliness Query into General Motors’ recall of the Cobalt and six other affected models.
The Melton family and their attorney, Lance Cooper of the Cooper Firm, located in Marietta, Ga., had petitioned NHTSA to investigate whether GM violated the law by waiting more than five days after discovering a defect to report it to the agency.
