COSTELLO: We'll have more on Flight 370 in just a minute. First, General Motors chief Mary Barra will face tough questions on Capitol Hill today. Lawmakers want to know why GM waited more than a decade, waited more than a decade to recall millions of vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The flaw disabled airbags and it's now linked to 13 deaths. CNN's "NEW DAY" spoke to relatives of one of the victims.</s>TERRY DIBATTISTA, ADOPTIVE MOTHER OF AMBER MARIE ROSA: Amber was 16 years old. She had -- she was very smart. She had taken her GED. She was working full time. She had her whole life ahead of her. She was full of life. Everybody loved her. We bought the car for the safety features. Yes, the EMT told us had the airbag deployed that she would have been alive. She may have been injured, but she would have been alive today. : Back in September 2005 I did research that showed these cars had issues. Power steering, fuel pump and something to do with the air bags back then. And when I learned there was an acceptable loss of life basically if the recall cost them so many millions to settle, you know, just a few other death cases cost them so much less that it became a business decision for them.</s>COSTELLO: Today's hearing on Capitol Hill comes a day after GM recalled 1.3 million vehicles for a different flaw affecting power steering. CNN business correspondent Alison Kosik is in New York with more on the GM story.</s>KOSIK: That sounds very bad, Alison. I know, I have to say this. No one can really know for sure at this point in time so early in the investigation if money was a factor in the decision making. I'll tell you what, it would be pretty terrible if GM attempted to save money early on would up costing lives. But GM documents that were submitted to investigators, they show that engineers did have a possible fix as early as March of 2005. But GM didn't have a recall ordered for the fix because of what it calls tooling cost and piece price is just too high.
