WASHINGTON—General Motors Chief Executive Mary Barra came under harsh criticism from members of Congress from Michigan on Dec. 6 for building a new vehicle in Mexico while ending production at five North American assembly plants and cutting nearly 15,000 jobs.

On the second day of meetings on Capitol Hill, Barra faced a tough session with normally supportive lawmakers from the state where GM is based and has thousands of workers.
