Brittany HillenGeneral Motors has been swamped in vehicle recalls covering a lot of different problems, most notable among them being issues with faulty ignition switches. The National Highway Transportation Security Administration has previous issued a $35 million fine against General Motors for its delay in issuing a recall.
