Chrysler Protest by Defect Victim Disrupts Auto Show

By Joe Consumer

"My mother died because of a defective Chrysler product. If it was your mother, you would be up here, too."  So said the brave Christina Catalano, whose mom is pictured here, as she ?seized the microphone? during the Detroit autoshow speech by Chrysler/Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne.  (also here, here, here)

Chrysler and GM will not compensate anyone injured or killed by defective cars if the accident occurred before the bankruptcies. There are over 1,000 families who have been shafted by these companies. Some have catastrophic injuries. Many are children.

Christina and many others have been trying to get both the companies and Congress to do something about this. Chrysler and GM are still refusing  to help.

Kudos to Christina Catalano and her brother Brian for keeping this issue alive in light of so many painful, uncompensated and needless injuries deaths. They are not going to stop.  We hope the auto companies survive.  But Chrysler and GM need to do the right thing for those they have hurt.
