What is this lawsuit about?

The Court certified a class action lawsuit and your rights may be affected. The lawsuit alleges a defect in 2017-2018 GMC Acadia vehicles’ shifter that causes the vehicles to not recognize when they are placed in park, display a “Shift to Park” message when owners attempt to turn off the ignition, and prevents the vehicles from shutting off.  The lawsuit alleges that General Motors, LLC (“GM”), failed to repair the defect and breached its warranty.  The lawsuit seeks relief for class members (defined below).  GM denies there was a defect or that it breached its warranty.

The lawsuit is pending in federal court in Memphis, Tennessee (the “Court”). The Court has not decided who is right. A trial is set to start on October 21, 2024 at 9:30 a.m.
