GM Faulty Ignition Recall

On February 6, 2014, General Motors recalled 800,000 cars for faulty ignitions. The cars would shut off while being driven which meant drivers lost power steering and brakes, and the airbags wouldn't deploy. They knew about the problem since 2005 but never fixed it because it would have been 'too expensive.' About 124 people died due to the faulty ignitions before they began the recall process.
