General Motors Suspends 2 Engineers; Announces New Fix 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
General Motors has placed two engineers on paid leave amid a widening
scandal over an ignition switch defect linked to at least 13 and
potentially hundreds of deaths. GM also added another repair to its
recall of 2.6 million cars with faulty ignition switches. The cars will
also require new ignition lock cylinders due to a flaw allowing keys to
be removed while engines are still running. GM says it has received
several hundred complaints about "keys coming out of ignitions."
