rather than spouting ignorance, read up on it a little bit

this part is key:
"March 2005: The engineering manager of the Cobalt closes an investigation into ignition switch problems, saying that proposed fixes would take too long and cost too much, and that “none of the solutions represents an acceptable business case.” |
What you just said had nothing to do with my statement...loss of engine power should not result in instant death, period.
Your engine can shut off for a thousand different reasons with no notice at all. If you crash because the engine shut off, then you're just an idiot. Not like I've been driving for 20+ years or anything...this has happened to me before, engine stopped running. Hell, why weren't cars flying off the road at random when vehicles didnt even come with power steering. Now if the steering wheel locked, that's another story, that would suck.
