TOP GM ISSUES
Despite being the best-selling car manufacturer in the US until 2020, Detroit automaker General Motors has been facing plenty of problems, complaints and recalls, most particularly affecting its Chevrolet and GMC divisions which models get some of the lowest rankings in Consumer Reports‘ rankings.
Common GM issues include:
- Catastrophic engine failure (6.2-liter V8).
- Electronic brake system malfunction.
- Engine block heater short circuits.
- Poor lighting.
- Ineffective seat belt.
- Transmission failure.
- Defective taillight.
- Excessive oil consumption.
- Steering and breaking noises.
- Faulty instrument panel.
- Electrical issues.
The good news is that If your GM vehicle is still under manufacturer’s warranty and these or any other issues have not been handled in a reasonable number of repair attempts, you might be protected by consumer protection laws and California’s lemon law.
THE CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW
California’s lemon law is designed to protect the consumer rights of those who have bought, leased or serviced their vehicles in California, or active duty military with a connection to California. It requires car companies such as General Motors to repurchase or replace any defective vehicle that suffer from warranty defects that cannot be fixed in a reasonable number of attempts – usually as low as 2 repair attempts. So if you bought in California a 2021 or newer GM vehicle that turns out to be a lemon, you are entitled to get monetary compensation, a lemon law buyback or replacement vehicle. Best of all, it won’t cost you anything as all attorney fees and costs will be paid by GM.

“If you’re dealing with a manufacturer that won’t listen, call Joseph Kaufman & Associates. GM wasn’t interested in helping me, but this firm took care of everything. They made the process effortless for me, even joining me at the dealership to turn in the car. The result? A settlement that was almost 1.5x what I originally paid for the car. The communication was excellent throughout the entire journey. Special thanks to Maria and Melissa for their hard work and expertise!” Dean S – Los Angeles, CA
“Excellent service from Joe and his team. Joe made the whole process simple and he was very easy to work with. He explained all my options and got me the best settlement I could’ve asked for with the purchase of my 2019 Silverado. He is very knowledgeable about everything in the lemon law process with GM. Don’t wait and don’t hesitate to reach out, Joe will take care of you. Thanks again Joe. I’ve already recommended you to family and friends. Pleasure working with you!” Hugo J – CA

These guys are brilliant, humble and hard working. They provided me immediate updates and negotiated a very reasonable settlement (much more than I expected). I am very happy with the results. Great job Joseph Kaufman & Associates.” Ruben C – San Francisco, CA

“I had been working with Joseph Kaufman and Associates for my 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV. A serious recall for my lithium battery was issued about 6 months into my lease. General Motors wasn’t able to replace the battery timely. My car was then limited to 80 percent charging capacity and then even to 75 percent. This status remained till the end of the lease (36 months). Joseph and his team were here to help. Professional approach, constant communication and fast settlement. This law firm went above and beyond for me. I couldn’t believe what they negotiated. I am 100 percent satisfied with the outcome. Joseph had been recommended to me by my neighbor. I am so happy and recommend Joseph Kaufman and Associates to everyone who have a lemon car.” Rebekka M – CA
