They are, that's called people stopping buying their cars.
That's not being held liable. That's just the market forcing them to change. Fixing the problem going forward doesn't fix the IB problems.
Besides, the market for cars is still terrible, and cars are a necessity these days. I'm not optimistic that consumers can pressure meaningful change with their wallets. (Who can afford not having a car for 6 months, waiting for the perfect car?)
I wouldn't say the market is that terrible for cars, if you insist on only buying domestic new cars yea, but the used and import markets are massive.
