GM financial woes have begun

BUT the main issue here is that the ignition switch did not CAUSE the accidents that are hitting the headlines - that was already in progress when the key got turned off by a heavy key chain swinging violently after the vehicle has already left the road.
That resulted in no air-bag deployment which I agree is not a good thing, but with no seat belt, the air bag is no guarantee of survivability.
As for "stooping to my level", I believe I have stated facts, not opinions. Do you have facts to contradict what I have said?
It's too bad that GM is so publicity shy that they won't make the same statements, but have chosen to pay up and ride it out.
(And before you jump on it, they are NOT hiding behind the bankruptcy for the injury cases, they HAVE asked for clarification of the bankruptcy protection against all the claims that owner's cars have lost value as a result of this situation.)

kaydeejay,

You have always stated the actual facts however the uneducated on this forum wouldn't recognize the facts if it were printed on the inside of their glasses or hit them on the head if they don't wear glasses. Hence they are known as the flunky blind cheerleading pom pom boys just flapping their lips and fingers as if they were uncontrollable wild nervous twitches!

Hmmm.. This report obviously disagrees with both your views.

From the article:

...The stall also would cut off the driver's power steering and brakes, as well as safety systems such as airbags and anti-lock brakes...

...Melton had taken her car into the dealer for ignition switch problems and just picked it up the day before her fatal crash...

...When the ignition failed, she lost control, skidded and was hit on the passenger side by another car...
