Was on a business trip to Tennessee and they got a couple of inches of snow (it melted that day) and you would have thought the ice age started.

We used to call them toasted sarnies. The only real difference is we squashed them ourselves after they'd been toasted (if they were too thick too eat otherwise).
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

Thought that the automotive industry was mature enough, in-spite of recalls; until I heard of so many casualties after recall and fix ... *

How can a faulty ignition switch cause an accident?
Faulty brakes = yes.
Faulty suspension = yes.
Faulty tyres = yes.
Even loose fitting mats/carpets = possible yes.
Faulty Ignition switch = How?

Well...have you ever tried to corner with the steering lock on?
Or if the ignition goes off, so does the ABS, brake vacuum assistance, power steering, ...

I have never tried that but I have had a question in my mind regarding this?
Surely if the wheels are turning when the ignition switch is turned to the off position - the steering should not lock.
I realise this demonstrates a lack of engineering understanding but it does seem pretty bloody obvious to me that if the wheels are turning the steering lock should not be applied.

A friend of mine used to specialise in buying cheap heaps: he was driving us back from the pub in one and talking about how rubbish it was (but very, very cheap) buy pulling the keys out and throwing them in the back with us. This was fine, and we (being somewhat inebriated) thought this very funny. Util we came to the bend, and he found the steering lock did still work...
Nobody was injured, but I think he just left the car in the field. We certainly did.

If the steering lock is coming on then you have a point. But isn't it normally a desperate mechanical interlock, and can only engage when the key is physically removed.

Depends what happens when the switch malfunctions, I guess.
Failure has a lot of modes!

If the ignition switch is turned all the way to the off position, then whatever equipment it is that determines whether "the wheels are turning" (as you put it) would no longer be running as well.
