Eerily familiar......

"The recall is linked to the cars’ ignition switches, which GM says can be accidentally turned from the “run” position to the “accessory” position while the car is being driven. When this happens, the engine shuts off and safety systems — including power steering, anti-lock brakes, and airbags — are disabled.

This has led to at least 31 crashes and at least 13 front-seat fatalities in the U.S., GM said."

interestingly enough, the word on the street is that this was an issue from GM 1.0 (pre-bailout) and they may not be on the hook for any costs associated with that issue. Dun-dun-dun
