Suit Alleges Second Ignition Defect in GM Recall

I wouldn't want to be the new CEO of General Motors. Now we find out that they not only knew the ignition switches in 1.62 million now recalled cars were faulty, it also knew the problem was made worse by the position of the switch where it is easily bumped, according to another new lawsuit filed Monday.

"Since at least 2005, GM has known that simply replacing the ignition switches on the defective vehicles is not a solution for the potential for the key to inadvertently turn from the 'run" to the "accessory/off" position in these vehicles," states the lawsuit.

"GM, in our view, is continuing to mislead customers" by standing by faulty ignition switches as the only cause the problem, said Adam Levitt, a director of one of the participating law firms, Grant & Eisenhofer, in a statement.
