I don't think anyone is arguing that - but in this case there were incidents where the car simply went over a bump in the road and the ignition switch slipped from the run position to acc or maybe even off and the vehicles airbags sometimes failed to deploy if there was a subsequent accident. There would have to be objects hanging from the key chain - which a lot of younger drivers, especially females do these days. or a nudge to the key itself.
Some independent testers verified the problem - and with older vehicles where the springs became less effective the problem was exacerbated.
GM decided not to even advise drivers against hanging things on the vehicles key - but they have internal mfg documents showing they knew the ignition switch was prone to this issue as far back as 2001.
