GM Car Recall Lawsuit | Qualified GM Recall Lawyers

We are no longer accepting new cases.

The NHTSA has the right to set car safety standards. They can also require manufacturers to recall vehicles that are not considered safe due to defects.

Safety-Related Defects

These are defects that pose a risk to motor vehicle safety. They often exist in a group of vehicles. Often, the manufacturer has used the defective part in a number of car models.

Some examples are:

Steering components that do not maintain vehicle control.
Any critical vehicle components that cause a potential loss of control, which can cause injury to people in the car or outside of it.
Air bags that do not deploy when they should, or deploy when they should not.

Some manufacturers wait for NHTSA to investigate, others voluntarily issue their own recalls.

Cars Turn Off While Driving

Recently, General Motors (GM) has issued several car recalls.

One of the most significant is based on an ignition problem that affects certain Chevrolets, Pontiacs and Saturns:

Chevy Cobalt
Chevy HHR
Pontiac Solstice

Pontiac G5
Saturn Sky
Saturn Ion

These cars have a defect in the ignition that causes them to shift from “run” to “accessory” or “off.” It can happen, and has happened, while the car is driving down any road, even at highway speeds.

When the car hits a bump or pothole, or a heavy keychain shifts, it can shut off the engine.

The power steering and power brakes are affected, as is your ability to control the vehicle. This loss of power can also cause the airbags to fail.

The engineers at GM knew about this problem at least as early as 2004, but they are just letting the public know now. It can be fixed with a part that has been estimated to cost 57 cents.

GM has already recognized that 13 deaths and 31 car accidents were caused by this problem. We have indications that there are many more. Independent safety groups report more than 300 fatalities.

And Congress may agree. The CEO of GM has been called in to testify about this defect and the terrible repercussions it has caused.
