General Motors class action claims vehicles have defective brake assemblies
A class action lawsuit alleges General Motors sold vehicles with defective brake assemblies causing potential braking failure.Summary
A class action lawsuit has been filed against General Motors alleging defective master brake cylinder assemblies in 2025 Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon vehicles. Plaintiffs Eric Barron and Chelsey Thompson claim these assemblies can lead to a partial or total loss of braking shortly after purchase. Symptoms include warning lights, a stiff brake pedal, or a pedal that sinks to the floor, with some owners resorting to restarting the vehicle or pumping the brakes to regain function. The lawsuit alleges GM was aware of the defect, having encountered similar issues in earlier models and receiving reports from testing, dealerships, and consumer complaints, yet failed to issue a recall or adequately address the problem under warranty. The suit seeks to represent purchasers and lessees in Pennsylvania and New York, claiming fraudulent concealment, breach of warranty, and violations of consumer protection laws, requesting damages and a jury trial. This lawsuit is separate from another ongoing case concerning a dangerous engine defect in GM vehicles.
