GM Vehicle Recall Lawyers

GM Vehicle Recall Lawsuits Continue

General Motors has been an industry leader for years, grounded upon its perceived reputation of its safety and reliability.ย  Contrary to this perception, General Motors recently admitted that it violated Federal law and is facing a $35 million fine for its delay in recalling General Motors cars affected by a GM vehicle recallย  for faulty ignition switch and/or lock cylinder.

It is now believed that for the past 10 years GM knew that there was a problem with the ignition switch and lock cylinder in the Chevy Cobalt. Despite this knowledge, GM chose not to take any action and did not issue a GM vehicle recall, subjecting Chevy Cobalt owners, as well as the general public to possible injury and even death.

Our Defective Product Lawyersย believe that the $35 million fine levied against GM is indicative of additional problems, and that the Center for Auto Safety statistics likely underestimated the number of consumers seriously hurt or killed as a result of the faulty ignitionย defect. There are many families who may have mistakenly believed, or were previously been told, that they or a family member was at fault in the accident.ย  If you or a family member were injured in an accident while drivingย one of the vehicles covered in the defective ignition switch recall,ย you should contact the Strom Law Firm, LLC for a free, confidentialย review of the facts of your case.

Drivers and Witnesses to faulty key/cylinder accidents report noticing:

  • Interior lights dimming
  • Exterior lights including headlights dimming
  • Loss of power/car shuts off/engine failure
  • Loss of power steering

If you or a loved one were in an accident while driving a Chevy Cobalt, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice, Pontiac G5, Saturn Sky, or Chevrolet HHR, and you experienced dimming lights, or loss of power you should contact the Strom Law Firm, L.L.C. for a free consultation to discuss the facts of your case and whether you may be able to file a GM vehicle recall lawsuit.

The GM vehicle recallย  applies to 1.3 million vehicles for defective ignition switches and lock cylinders to include the following:

  • 2003-2007 Saturn Ion
  • 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt
  • 2006-2010 Pontiac Soltice
  • 2007-2010 Pontiac G5
  • 2007-2010 Saturn Sky
  • 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR

General Motors Admits The Key/Lock Cylinder is defective, and that if the ignition is moved out of the โ€œrun positionโ€ย the air bags may not deploy in the event of an accident. With the loss of engine power, a driver may also experience loss of power steering, leading the driver to lose control of the vehicle and potentially injure himself/herself as well as other innocent drivers.

GM is recalling these vehicles because the ignition switch torque performance may not meet GM specifications. If the torque performance is not to specification, and the key ring is carrying added weight or the vehicle goes off road or experiences some other jarring event, the ignition switch may inadvertently be moved out of the โ€œrunโ€ position.

The timing of the key movement out of the โ€œrunโ€ position, relative to the activation of the sensing algorithm of the crash event, may result in the airbags not deploying, increasing the potential for occupant injury in certain kinds of crashes

In the event the ignition switchย is turned in the off or accessory position while driving, drivers will experienceย loss of engine power andย the power steering and airbags will be disabled leading to a loss of control.

But the danger does not end here. In addition to the faulty ignition cases, GM has recalled over 18 million cars and trucks this year for problems.

A Lifesaver in the Courtroom, Ensuring Freedom with A1 Professionalism
Needed a lifesaver. I had gotten myself into a bad situation and the possibility of going to prison. Through the diligence and hard work done by attorney Alley B., I was able to walk out of that courtroom a free man. No tricks just hard down attorney work. She was an A1 professional and knew every inch of the Law pertaining to my case. For that, I am forever grateful.
