Schuette on committee for General Motors probe
LANSING (AP) - Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette says he's among the state attorneys general on a committee overseeing an investigation into General Motors Co.'s recall and safety procedures.
Schuette told The Detroit News last Thursday he and 44 other state attorneys general are investigating ignition switch problems. He says states and the federal government are working together to determine the investigation's course.
Schuette says the investigation, previously announced by GM, would be "exhaustive and fair."
GM in February began recalling 2.6 million cars. The ignition switches, when jostled, can shut off the engine, cutting power steering and brakes and potentially causing drivers to lose control. GM says at least 13 people have died in 54 crashes linked to the problem.
GM spokesman Jim Cain says the automaker is cooperating with all investigations.
