“suspension used in different vehicles COULD explain why a switch that accidentally turned off in one type would not turn off in another”

“Could” looks like the key word. Drive at your own risk Freepers.

I am in a carpool that consists of 3 of us, one of whom drives a Chevy Cruze (Government Motors). She took her car in for a recall on the airbags, which were inspected and juded "A-OK". Yesterday, she was in a wreck in which she broadsided a car that ran a red light (I was fortunately not riding with the carpool that day). No one was injured; but her recalled and inspected airbags failed to deploy. The wrecker driver said that sometimes, the police issue tickets to people in wrecks if their airbags are not deployed, as they suspect seatbelts were not being worn (airbags do not deploy of a seatbelt is not being used).

No way I'll ever buy a Government Motors car.

Yep, exactly what I though. Nothing like NOT being absolutely certain when peoples lives may be at stake.

Had 5 GMs in a row. Latest was a 2003 SUV. Not any more. I don't like to use the word “never” but I won't be buying any gm products for the forseeable future.
