They’ve been building cars since when, 1889?

Why is it they keep having to recall cars for faulty components they should have perfected by about 1903?

Not to absolve GM of blame but how is this causing people to crash?

The government’s fingerprints are on this. modern cars have to have their steering locked if the key is removed. The cheapest way to do this is to put the lock on the steering column itself. On my older Mercedes, the key/lock is on the dash, and this type of problem is flat impossible mechanically.
