GM’s Deadly Ignition Switch: The Warnings They Ignored

The crashes looked like driver error. Inside General Motors, the warning signs told a different story. An ignition switch could shut down a moving car and prevent its airbags from deploying. Engineers documented problems. Drivers reported stalling. Families demanded answers. Yet the cars stayed on the road. Why did the safeguards fail to stop it? FaultLine follows the GM ignition switch scandal through rejected fixes, internal records, failed oversight, and an outside engineer’s discovery that challenged the company’s explanation. The broken switch was only the beginning. The deeper failure was what happened after people knew something was wrong.
