General Motors, also known as GM, is an American corporation that has dominated the international auto industry for 100 years. Headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, General Motors is one of the most prolific vehicle distributors in the entire world. General Motors is the umbrella manufacturer for many marquis brands including GMC, Cadillac, Buick, and Chevrolet.

Although GM has a reputation of over 100 years of American quality, GMs also have their Lemon problems. If you have purchased a GMC, Cadillac, Buick or Chevrolet that is having maintenance or mechanical problems that don’t seem to be going away, contact the top GM Lemon Law experts of David Gorberg & Associates for information on how the GM Lemon Law process functions.

Is My GM a Lemon

The first step in the GM Lemon Law process would be to assess whether or not you actually have a lemon vehicle on your hands. As a consumer, you need to make sure you are aware of the basic criterion of any GM lemon law case and buyback program. First, the vehicle must still be under warranty. This is true for purchased, leased, new or old cars. Next, does the issue reduce the value of the vehicle or pose a risk to occupants or other drivers on the road? Your GM Lemon Law case has to fit one of those parameters. Lastly, it’s essential that you have already given the manufacturer a fair number of attempts to repair the mechanical issue before diving further into the GM Lemon law process.

Common GM Lemon Law Defects

General Motors (GM) is continuing to deal with an extensive and potentially dangerous defect in select transmissions produced by this well-known automobile manufacturer. This has left many drivers in the United States feeling anxious about what possible consequences could be caused by their faulty transmissions which cause the vehicle to aggressively shake and shudder.

So far, General Motors has been inundated with complaints on a massive scale regarding the Transmission Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) in vehicles manufactured by the auto giant. Many consumers report feeling unsafe due to the violent shake and shudder caused by the defect.

What some have termed the “Chevy Shake” has even caught the attention of local media. In a local news report in Charlotte, North Carolina, the news crew examine in detail the transmission complaint that has become so widespread. The full video can be seen at YouTube.

Numerous GM makes and models have been affected so far and many are concerned that more models will be added to this list in the near future. Some popular GM models reported to have the defect include:

  • The Chevy Silverado
  • The Chevy Colorado
  • The GMC Sierra
  • The Cadillac CTS
  • The Chevrolet Camara
  • The GMC Yukon

Many car owners are familiar with GM’s transmission issues and some have even taken to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to vent their frustration. One such common complaint to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration read:

My vehicle is having hard downshifting issues. Mainly from 2 to 1 and occasionally from 3 to 2. I notice there isn’t a recall listed but it definitely seems like a serious issue. That could possibly cause damage later on. I’ve read online that it seems to be a pretty common issue with the Silverado 2014-2019. I would like an explanation and fix please. Chevrolet has checked and said it doesn’t read as an issue on computer reading. Thanks. https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls

If you are like many GM owners who have consistently experienced these transmission issues, you may be entitled to compensation under the PA LEMON LAW, NJ LEMON LAW or the Magnuson Moss Warranty Improvement Act. Compensation may include a complete repurchase of your defective vehicle, a replacement, or a substantial cash reimbursement for damage the vehicle has already suffered due to the defect.
