GM twice failed to fix problem

The memo was released Sunday, ahead of the subcommittee's Tuesday hearing on GM's recall of 2.6 million small cars for an ignition switch defect linked to 13 deaths. This is absolutely crazy that they've known for 10 years and didn't do a thing about it, for a part that is literally $ 3-5 could have saved 13 lives. i don't know how they got away with it for this long but i hope they make it right. they met in 2006 and talked about switching or fixing the design but later found it was "too expensive" and it would take too long, well its their own fault and they shouldn't have put a part on any car that they knew what defective. also they say that a heavy key chain will make it so it will shut off engine power, well how many teenage drivers have their wallet, and a bunch of keys and knick naks that would never link a problem with their car because of that, gm better pay for this, this is all i have too say. I feel so bad for the families.
