Oliver Law Group P.C. Launches GM Ignition Switch Recall Lawsuit Page
PRWeb - Sat Jun 07, 2:02AM CDT
The Oliver Law Group P.C. is launching a page on the recall of General Motors' (GM) vehicles with faulty ignition switches to provide the latest information on the recalls, federal investigations of GM, and developments in pending ignition switch lawsuits against the company. The Law Firm is also involved in a multiple GM ignition switch recall lawsuits against GM, which has been fined $35 million by the U.S. government for waiting for more than a decade to recall and repair the defective ignition switches. According to a report published by National Public Radio, GM became aware of the problem in 2001. GM engineers discovered that the faulty ignition switch slipped into the "accessory" or "off" position while the vehicle is in motion. The vehicle would suddenly lose electrical power for steering and braking and disable the air bags. The problems were identified on the Saturn Ion and the Chevrolet Cavalier, and GM did not correct the defective ignition switches. In 2004, the Chevy Cavalier was replaced by the Chevy Cobalt, which also had the same faulty ignition switch.
