Deep within the company, engineers and others believed the ignition switch problem was an inconvenience, a “customer satisfaction” issue rather than a safety problem. Engineers believed that cars could still be steered when the engines shut off, even though the loss of power steering could cause drivers to lose control.


How does the key turning off kill you? Please explain how a competent driver dies in this scenario. Yes, the airbags are no longer functional. How do you crash in the first place simply because you have no power steering and reduced braking?

Perhaps this was the logic employed at GM?

How many broken serpentine belts kill people?
