All because one key component is lacking.
This was bound to happen eventually to another major General Motors production facility and now it has. GM has confirmed to Automotive News its Lansing Grand River Assembly plant in Michigan will be idled beginning this Monday through the end of this month, if not longer. The reason? A lack of semiconductor chips, a crisis that continues to plague the auto industry at large, with the exception of Toyota.
Like other affected automakers, GM is using its existing semiconductor chip supply for highly profitable and extremely popular vehicles, mainly trucks and SUVs. Slow sellers and some newer models are being sacrificed instead, including the Chevy Camaro, Malibu, Cadillac CT4 and CT5, all of which are built at Lansing Grand River.

General Motors is now facing a class-action lawsuit.
Despite advancements in safety technology, manufacturers are still discovering faults that can prevent the airbag from deploying during a crash. This is obviously a significant safety hazard, so the right thing to do is issue a safety recall and get the problem fixed as soon as possible. In this case, however, the manufacturer allegedly knew there was a serious issue with the airbag but did nothing about it.
According to Car Complaints, a faulty sensor pad in 2010 and 2011 Chevrolet Camaros would cause the front passenger airbags to deactivate even if an occupant was sat in the seat. Chevrolet allegedly knew the sensors were prone to tearing but failed to issue a recall to rectify them.
