Not to defend Government Motors, and if it were one of my loved ones I'd be suing GM for every penny, but in the latest three years with data (2010, 2011, and 2012,) there have been 99,039 traffic deaths.

So far 32 deaths have been attributed to faulty key switches, presumably going as far back as 1998, the earliest year that a GM car is subject to this recall.

Maybe Mary Barra needs to answer the questions "what did you know and when did you know it?" but I'm not ready to form a lynch mob quite yet.

GM has admitted they knew of the problem in 2005 and re-engineered the switch without recalling the cars already on the road. They blamed it on mid-level people and recently fired 15 or so and didn’t announce the recall until February of this year.

It’s going to cost them dearly for not recalling when they should have and would have saved some of those peoples lives.
