History Behind the Lawsuit

A new class action lawsuit has been filed against General Motors (GM), alleging that several of its 2025 model-year vehicles contain defective master brake cylinder assemblies that can lead to a partial or total loss of braking ability.

The lawsuit, Barron, et al. v. General Motors LLC (Case No. 2:25-cv-05696), was filed on October 2, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by plaintiffs Eric Barron and Chelsey Thompson. They claim GM violated state and federal consumer protection laws by selling vehicles that are unsafe to drive and failing to repair the defect under warranty.

According to the complaint, the alleged defect causes the brake pedal to become either stiff and difficult to press or sink to the floor, often accompanied by warning lights and a “Service Brake System” message on the dashboard. Owners say the issue occurs suddenly, sometimes shortly after purchase.

Claims Made by the Plaintiffs

The plaintiffs allege that GM knew about the defect before selling the affected vehicles, citing pre-sale testing data, customer complaints, and dealership reports. Despite this, the company allegedly failed to issue a recall or provide timely repairs.

Vehicles named in the lawsuit include the 2025 Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon. The plaintiffs claim these vehicles share the same faulty master cylinder design, which can cause abrupt brake failure.

Drivers reportedly attempted temporary fixes such as restarting the vehicle or pumping the brake pedal, but these methods offer no permanent solution.

The lawsuit seeks class certification, monetary damages, reimbursement for repairs, and a jury trial, citing fraudulent concealment, breach of warranty, and violations of state lemon and consumer protection laws.

What GM Owners Should Do Next

Owners of 2025 GM vehicles listed in the lawsuit should document all brake-related issues, including warning lights, service messages, and dealer visits. Keeping repair invoices and communication records could support future claims or reimbursement if the lawsuit expands or leads to a recall.

How GM Owners Can Take Back Control

While this class action lawsuit has been filed, many owners nationwide may be affected by similar issues. These problems often escalate into large-scale legal actions, making it vital for consumers to stay informed and protected.

History Behind the Investigation

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened a new engineering analysis into certain General Motors SUVs and trucks over reports of engine failures that may extend beyond GM’s previous recall.

The issue, described by regulators as “loss of motive power due to engine failure,” centers on vehicles equipped with 6.2-liter V8 gasoline engines. According to NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation (ODI), the failures may result from manufacturing defects in the connecting rod and crankshaft, which can cause sudden engine seizure and stalling while driving, posing a serious crash risk.

GM previously issued a recall in April 2025, covering approximately 721,000 vehicles from the 2021–2024 model years, including Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, and Yukon XL models.

However, NHTSA has since received more than 1,100 additional complaints of engine failures from owners whose vehicles were not included in GM’s recall, prompting this new round of scrutiny.

Vehicles Under Investigation

The current investigation covers roughly 286,000 vehicles that were part of the original inquiry but excluded from GM’s voluntary recall.

According to NHTSA’s October 23 report, the vehicles under investigation include:

• 2019–2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
• 2019–2024 GMC Sierra 1500
• 2021–2024 Chevrolet Suburban
• 2021–2024 Chevrolet Tahoe
• 2021–2024 GMC Yukon / Yukon XL
• 2021–2024 Cadillac Escalade / Escalade ESV

The ODI report notes that 173 of the 1,157 engine failure complaints involve vehicles outside GM’s original recall (identified internally as 25V-274). The agency said this trend represents a potential safety risk that “warrants further investigation.”

GM has acknowledged the issue stems from supplier quality problems and says it is cooperating fully with regulators. The automaker has also reported 12 minor injuries and 12 alleged crashes potentially linked to the defect, though most incidents were not crash-related.

What GM Owners Should Do Next

At this time, the investigation remains open and no new recalls have been announced. However, affected owners should take precautionary steps:

• Contact a GM dealer to verify if their vehicle is part of any recall or inspection campaign.
• Report symptoms such as knocking noises, loss of power, or sudden stalling to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/vehicle-complaint .
• Check recall status using their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at nhtsa.gov/recalls .

During the prior recall, GM advised dealers to inspect engines and replace them if damage was found. Vehicles that passed inspection received higher viscosity engine oil, a new oil cap, and a replacement oil filter to help prevent failure.

How GM Owners Can Take Back Control

While this investigation has started, no official recalls have been announced yet. Many owners continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.

History Behind the Recall

General Motors has announced a safety recall for 1,191 vehicles from its 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV lineups due to a problem with the electronic stability control (ESC) warning system.

Filed under NHTSA Campaign Number 25V594000, the recall notes that following an ESC system malfunction, the warning light may fail to illuminate during the next ignition cycle. This means drivers could be unaware of a stability control issue, increasing the risk of a crash.

The defect also causes affected models to violate Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 126, which governs ESC systems and their required warning functions.

Which Vehicles Are Affected?

• 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV
• 2026 GMC Sierra EV

These two all-electric pickup trucks are among GM’s newest models, representing the brand’s move toward an electric future. Despite being technologically advanced, this early production defect shows that even EVs aren’t immune to traditional compliance issues.

What Owners Need to Do Next

GM will update the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) software either over-the-air (OTA) or at dealerships free of charge. Owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed on October 27, 2025.

Owners can contact:

• Chevrolet Customer Service: 1-800-222-1020
• GMC Customer Service: 1-800-462-8782 and reference recall number N252515340.

How GM Owners Can Take Back Control

While this recall has been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.

History Behind the Recall

General Motors (GM) has issued a new safety recall affecting a small number of its full-size SUVs after identifying a potential fuel leak hazard. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the issue involves replacement fuel tanks that may have been incorrectly installed, increasing the risk of a fuel leak during a rollover crash.

The recall, filed under NHTSA Campaign Number 25V619000, applies to only 12 vehicles, but because the defect could lead to a fire if fuel escapes near an ignition source, the recall has been classified as a safety-critical issue.

Which Vehicles Are Affected?

The affected vehicles include:

• 2021 Cadillac Escalade
• 2021, 2023–2024 Chevrolet Tahoe
• 2022 and 2024 GMC Yukon

All recalled models are equipped with GM’s 6-cylinder diesel engine, and in each case, an incorrect replacement fuel tank may have been installed during prior service work.

What Owners Need to Do Next

GM dealers will inspect the vehicles to verify the correct fuel tank and replace it if necessary, free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on November 3, 2025, and the affected VINs became searchable on NHTSA.gov as of September 18, 2025.

For assistance, owners can contact:

• Cadillac: 1-800-333-4223
• Chevrolet: 1-800-222-1020
• GMC: 1-800-462-8782

A new class action lawsuit has been filed against General Motors (GM), alleging that several of its most popular 2023 and 2024 full-size SUVs suffer from a critical safety defect affecting windshield wipers. Reports of wipers suddenly stopping working, leaving drivers unable to see in inclement weather.

What’s the Class Action About?

The complaint claims that an electrical defect in GM’s wiper system causes the blades to freeze or lock in place without warning, often halting mid-swipe across the windshield. Affected owners report that restarting the vehicle doesn’t fix the issue, and that the wipers may spontaneously begin working again after an unknown period of time, with no consistent way to trigger or repair the system.

Even more troubling, the defect allegedly does not trigger any diagnostic trouble codes, leaving GM technicians unable to pinpoint or document the problem. The lawsuit says this has led to numerous “no fault found” service visits, up to eight times in one owner’s case, without resolution.

Which GM Models Are Affected?

The proposed class action includes U.S. customers who leased or purchased the following 2023–2024 GM vehicles:

• GMC Yukon
• GMC Yukon XL
• Cadillac Escalade
• Cadillac Escalade ESV
• Chevrolet Suburban
• Chevrolet Tahoe

What Compensation is Being Sought?

The lawsuit accuses GM of selling unreliable and unsafe vehicles while failing to disclose the defect or provide a fix. Plaintiffs are seeking compensation for loss of vehicle use, reduced resale value, and breach of warranty.

Why You Should Consider Opting Out

While the class action may provide some relief, individual cases often result in far greater compensation, especially for owners who’ve experienced safety risks, canceled trips, and vehicle downtime. Opting out preserves your right to file your own claim and have your specific experience heard in full.

How GM Owners Can Take Back Control

While this class action lawsuit has begun, thousands of GM owners are likely to be affected by the same windshield wiper failure defect, with many expressing dissatisfaction over delayed or inadequate repairs. These types of issues often lead to broader legal action like this one, underscoring the importance of protecting consumer rights.

History Behind the Recall

General Motors has issued a safety recall for its high-performance 2023–2026 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and 2025–2026 Corvette ZR1 models after discovering a bizarre fire risk related to the fuel filler area.

According to GM’s report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), if fuel is accidentally spilled into the fuel-filler pocket during refueling, it may come into contact with an ignition source due to airflow from a nearby cooling fan. This could result in a vehicle fire, even while stationary, significantly increasing the risk of injury or property damage.

Chevrolet has issued a stop-sale on affected vehicles at dealerships while it works on a permanent remedy.

Which Models Are Affected

An estimated 25,000 vehicles are impacted by this recall. Affected models include:

• 2023–2026 Chevrolet Corvette Z06
• 2025–2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

Not all C8 Corvettes are affected. Stingray and E-Ray models remain unaffected by this issue.

What Owners Need to Do Next

Chevrolet is currently developing a repair solution, which is expected to involve the installation of a shield or insert behind the fuel-filler neck to prevent gasoline from making contact with hot components.

In the meantime, GM has provided fueling precautions to reduce the risk:

• Always fully insert the fuel nozzle into the filler pipe.
• Do not overfill or attempt to top off after the pump clicks.
• Always turn off the engine when refueling.

Affected owners should keep an eye out for official recall notices and can use their VIN to check recall status at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

General Motors is making headlines again, this time not for a vehicle recall, but over something far more common in today’s cars: dash cams. 

A Cadillac Lyriq owner recently took to Reddit after a service advisor allegedly told them their dash cam could “wreak havoc” on the vehicle’s electrical system and potentially void the warranty.

Why Are Dash Cams a Problem in GM EVs?

The owner explained that their 2025 Cadillac Lyriq had been in for service due to ABS and parking brake warnings. They noted that the dash cam had been installed for over a year with no issues. However, the dealership suggested the aftermarket camera might be the cause, and worse, that it could void the warranty entirely.

Understandably, this sparked confusion and pushback. Many in the EV community were quick to label the dealership’s claim as “BS,” arguing that dash cams are harmless if installed properly. Still, there’s more to the story than meets the eye.

What GM Actually Says About Aftermarket Devices

A look at GM’s documentation reveals some cautionary language. The 2025 Cadillac Lyriq owner’s manual warns against connecting devices to the vehicle’s Data Link Connector (DLC), saying it may interfere with vehicle systems and “cause a crash.” It also states that “some electrical equipment can damage the vehicle” and may not be covered under warranty.

Chevrolet’s 2025 warranty guide echoes this stance. It explicitly excludes coverage for damage caused by “modifications,” “tampering,” and “third-party externally connected electrical products.”

While none of this mentions dash cams specifically, it leaves GM room to deny warranty claims if a third-party device is suspected of causing damage. That’s the key issue. It shifts the burden of proof onto the owner to prove that the dash cam didn’t cause the fault.

What Should Owners Do?

At this stage, there is no public policy from GM explicitly banning dash cams or stating that their installation automatically voids the warranty. Still, owners should be cautious. If you’re installing a dash cam, avoid tapping into sensitive components, use a fuse tap or dedicated 12V socket, and consider professional installation.

If your warranty claim is denied over a dash cam, don’t panic. Get a second opinion from another dealership or seek legal advice.

Have You Been Denied Warranty Coverage?
You don’t have to accept unfair treatment. If your EV warranty has been denied due to an aftermarket device or dealer speculation, you may still have legal options. Call 833 Lemon Firm and speak to a case analyst today. We’re here to help you fight back.

History Behind the Recall

General Motors (GM) has issued a safety recall for more than 62,000 Chevrolet Silverado vehicles due to a brake system defect that could lead to under hood fires, even when the truck is parked and turned off.

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says the problem stems from a brake pressure sensor assembly that may leak fluid, creating a risk of electrical short and excessive heat buildup.

The issue is traced back to a supplier error, where an unauthorized chemical was used during manufacturing. Over time, this chemical degrades a critical component in the brake assembly, potentially causing it to fail.

Which Vehicles Are Affected

The recall applies to approximately 62,468 Chevrolet Silverado trucks in the United States. Affected model years include:

• 2019–2024 Chevrolet Silverado

GM estimates that around 1% of recalled vehicles may contain the defective part. Although that percentage appears small, the consequences could be serious: an electrical short could spark a fire, and in some cases, the vehicle may catch fire while unattended.

What Owners Need to Do Next

GM will notify affected owners, who will be instructed to bring their trucks to a dealership for free inspection and repair. The recall remedy will involve replacing or repairing the faulty brake pressure sensor assembly.

Consumers can check their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if their vehicle is affected.

At this time, no injuries have been reported, and GM has not announced any related legal action or class action lawsuits.

How Chevrolet Drivers Can Take Back Control

While this recall has been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.

General Motors has issued a major recall impacting nearly 600,000 vehicles following widespread complaints of engine problems.

History Behind the Recall

The issue centers around GM’s 6.2-liter V8 gas engines (RPO L87), where internal engine components may fail due to manufacturing defects. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has linked the problem to rod bearing damage caused by sediment contamination and out-of-spec crankshaft components, which can cause loss of propulsion or even engine fires.

So far, GM has received more than 28,000 incident reports, including over 14,000 cases of power loss, 12 injuries, 12 crashes, and 42 fire allegations, mostly confined to the engine bay.

Which Vehicles Are Affected

The recall affects a wide range of full-size GM trucks and SUVs equipped with the 6.2L V8 engine. Specifically, the following models built between March 1, 2021, and May 31, 2024, are included:

• Cadillac Escalade (2021–2024) – 79,747 units

• GMC Sierra 1500 (2021–2024) – 153,630 units
• GMC Yukon (2021–2024) – 82,832 units
• GMC Yukon XL (2021–2024) – 60,933 units

All affected vehicles share the same powertrain platform and supplier batch that may have introduced contaminated or improperly machined crankshaft components.

What Owners Need to Do Next

Owners will be notified by mail starting June 9, 2025. Dealers will inspect affected engines and determine if they require repairs or full engine replacement. Vehicles that pass inspection will receive:

• A switch to higher viscosity oil
• A new oil fill cap
• A revised oil filter
• An updated owner’s manual insert

All repairs will be conducted free of charge under recall codes N252494000, N252494001, or N252494002. Owners can also check their VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm eligibility.

How GM Drivers Can Take Back Control

While this recall has been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.
