GM chief executive officer Mary Barra said that the cars could be driven safely if the ignition key was used alone but owners could get a loaner vehicle while waiting for repairs. She said that no decisions had been made about compensating victims but GM had hired Kenneth Feinberg to assess the situation. NHTSA acting administrator David Friedman testified that the agency was conducting an investigation to determine what went wrong with safety procedures and whether GM failed to relay critical information on the defect to the agency in a timely manner.
