My comment was unrelated to how much did each have to pay though.
And it's not "complete loss of control", not to mention airbags are not part of "control of a car". It's "less control" and unlike in Toyota's case, the car doesn't actively do something.
I mean, sure, it's debatable and GM were despicable for not fixing it when they knew about it, but every time I hear about "IgnitionGate", it feels like most people are making out of it a bigger problem than it was.

The topic of my post is about unequal punishment b/w GM/Toyota. If your comment isn't about that then I don't see what the point is in changing the topic and going into a microscopic debate about which safety fault was worse?
If you want to go into these tangential arguments about safety defects, car control, etc. ...my arguments were for illustrative purposes in the first place, but second... you know when the ignition is cut off in modern cars, that would usually mean you can not steer the car, right? That is pretty dangerous.
