I skimmed the article and could not find out what the defect is, but that it apparently is with the Cobalt.

BTW, Toyota’s “defect” was not a defect. It was idiotic drivers.

I googled it. Ignition switch can turn to “accessory”, killing all power while you are driving.

it was an ignition switch that could be bumped and turned off whil driving, killing power brakes and steering, and also turning off the airbags.

Here’s what the recall now involves:

In January 2014, GM recalled about 619,000 vehicles in the U.S., including Chevrolet Cobalts made from the 2005-7 model years and 2007 Pontiac G5 models. In February 2014 GM added its 2003-7 Saturn Ions, 2006-7 Chevrolet HHRs and 2006-7 Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky models to the recall.
