Had week we found out why General Motors waited more than a decade to tell the public ignition switch necessary 2. 6 million of its cars can be unintentionally knocked into accessory position while someone is driving. That cause it is engine to shut off and disabled the air bags and power steering and antilock brakes. The company denied a coverup but said that there were 11 years of incompetence and neglect that led to tragedy. One georgia couple believes their daughter her death was caused by this defect. Before the recall they settled with General Motors but now they are fighting to reopen their case, claiming that they were deceived. The pattern of incompetence and neglect. Reporter g. M. s c. E. O. Aid mitting to the failures. We misdiagnosed the problem from the beginning. Reporter those words arent enough to the parents of brooke who died driving a wife cobalt on her 29th birthday. I kept thinking this is not possible. It is her birthday. It cant. This cant have happened that she died. I touched her hand and it was cold. I knew in my heart and gut there was something wrong with the car. It was not her fault. Reporter it was here had a Georgia State patrol says brooke meltons 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt hydroplaned on a rainy evening four years ago. The car spun out and was struck by another vehicle. Then dropped 15 feet into this creek. The accident report says melton was driving to fast for roadway conditions causing her to lose control of the vehicle. She was driving 58 and the speed limit was 55. Reporter do you believe that could have caused the accident . No. I believe that she lost power. Reporter it is now moan the ignition switch on her cobalt was defective. This analysis of the cars data recorder provided by the m meltons attorney shows the switch was in the ignition at the time of the crash. Shutting the engine off and disabling the air bags power steering and antilock brakes. We believe the evidence is overwhelming that the defects in this key system resulted in brookes loss of control and her death. Reporter g. M. Would not comment on the data recorder information. The defect led g. M. To recall 2. 6 million cars but before the recalls, the meltons settled their case with g. M. For an undisclosed amount. Now they are fighting an uphill battle to reopen. It they thought they had the truth when they settled their case. We now know they had some of the truth but not all of the truth. Reporter in a new lawsuit, the meltons allege g. M. Hid key documents from them and say a g. M. Engineer lied in a sworn deposition. Design release engineer for the ignition switch in the 05 company but. Yes, i was. Reporter the meltons attorney gave part of his deposition who denied approving any changes to the ignition switch. There was never a work order that i saw outlining this experience. Any such change was made, it was made without your knowledge and authorization . Thats correct. Reporter in 2006, he signed this form authorizing a fix to the ignition switch. Making it harder to turn inadvertently. The subcommittee will come to order. Reporter g. M. s ceo was questioned by congress about this. You know that he lied under oath. The data has been put in front of me indicates that but im waiting for the full investigation. Reporter had a full investigation came out on thursday. Good evening, everyone. Reporter g. M. Declined an interview with cnn but denies the assertion that a fraudulently concealed relevant and critical facts in connection with the melton matter. G. M. Denies and engaged in any improper behavior in that action. Ought t auto maker admits 13 people died as a result of the defect but wont release those names. G. M. s list only includes frontal crashes where air bags didnt inflate. General motors says that 13 deaths, 47 crashes. They are playing with numbers that they dont count brookes death and she is dead because of that ignition switch. Why is General Motors only counting frontal crashes where air bags did not deploy . We analyzed all of the information we have available to us based on one specific definition you described. We counted 13 people. Her death is not being counted. It means like it doesnt matter. Reporter ken melton still keeps his daughters number in his cell phone. Something for him to hold on to. Are you willing to settle this time . No. Settlement is off the table. It is not about the money. Brooke is worth it. Whatever it takes. If it took the next 20 years, knowing the truth for her, it certainly is worth it.
