GENERAL MOTORS WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND TIRE WEAR CLASS ACTION


A class action charges that certain GM vehicle have a defect causing misalignment, tire wear, and related problems.


  • "Model year 2007 and 2008 Impalas were primarily manufactured by General Motors Corporation, although some may have been manufactured by General Motors Company. General Motors Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed some of the liabilities of General Motors Corporation, when the former filed for bankruptcy relief in 2009. General Motors Company assumed the express warranty liabilities of General Motors Corporation, including those which Plaintiffs and the class now seek to enforce. General Motors Company is the Defendant in this action and is referred to hereinafter as “GM” or “General Motors.”
  • The model year 2007 and 2008 Impalas were sold with common defective rear spindle rods that caused and continue to cause wheel misalignment and premature tire wear. Even though it has issued a recall bulletin for model year 2007 and 2008 Impalas operated as police vehicles, GM has failed to honor its warranties with Plaintiff and the putative class, by failing to correct the manufacturing defect in their vehicles. There are no relevant material differences between police vehicles and class members' vehicles relating the defective spindle rods.
  • The fact that GM moved to fix certain Impalas shows that it knew of the defect. Despite this, GM continued to sell and has refused to honor the warranties on hundreds of thousands of defective and potentially unsafe vehicles.
  • This class action seeks damages, injunctive and declaratory relief on behalf of a class of all persons who purchased model years 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Impalas."
