Some folks seem to think the operator of a car has no responsibility for acting safely in an emergency situation. It is all the manufacturers fault whenever a mechanical failure happens and they must pay outrageous sums of money to the affected. It is time we got back to accepting some responsibility for our own actions rather than always blaming someone else.
Does the manufacturer have to spell out that you shouldn't hang an anvil or similar heavy objects from the key ring or it may cause adverse effects? Even so, the key turning off the engine should not be a life and death situation and could be safely managed.
I didn't see anyone wanting to lynch the TOYOTA management folks when they blatantly covered up the brake fault with their cars and refused to make a recall or is it just GM that should be held accountable for any and every item. What about the switch manufacturer, should we shut them down, lock up their managers, throw them in a dark dungeon?
I don't think any company knowingly builds something that will injure or kill someone, but when it happens they all try to protect their interest. That is why we have courts and lawyers to prey upon the injured and make more money on the deal than the injured party, but that is just my opinion.
