GM facing 35M fine!
Do to GM's slow response they are looking at not only fines from the Feds but big lawsuits from the families of the 13 people killed in the crashes. Seems like they are trying to blame to owners in this.
GM previously said the weight on the key ring, road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the "run" position, turning off the engine and most of the car's electrical components.
NHTSA urged owners to follow GM's recommendation to "use only the ignition key with nothing else on the key ring" when operating the vehicle and seek the repair as soon as replacement parts become available. GM said the initial replacement parts will be available in early April.
So what bean counter figured it was cost effective to ignore the problem? Looks like GM's new CEO is going to have her hands full.
