GM turns to park class action lawsuit to be argued in Ohio
The lawsuit covers GMC Acadia, Chevrolet Blazer, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Traverse and Chevrolet Volt. September 28, 2024 — A GM “steer-to-park” class action lawsuit in Ohio alleges that five models fail to detect when drivers steer their vehicles into “park.” GM drivers reported seeing a "Shift to Park" message on their dashboard when the problem occurred. This prevents the driver from turning off the vehicle and locking the doors, forcing the driver to crank the gear lever and use "all kinds of tricks" to get the vehicle to detect that it is parked. The GM Turn Park class action lawsuit includes: "Any person or entity in Ohio who purchases or leases a 2017-2019 GMC Acadia, 2019 Chevrolet Blazer, 2016-2019 Chevrolet Malibu, 2018-2019 Chevrolet Traverse or 2016-2019 Chevrolet Volt vehicle." As a result of GM's alleged illegal conduct, the automaker benefited by evading warranty obligations "while consumers were harmed at the point of sale because their vehicles had a shifter defect…

GM dismisses Chevrolet ‘Shift-to-Park’ class action lawsuit
Shift-to-Park Warning for Chevrolet Trailblazer, Chevrolet Traverse, Chevrolet Malibu, Buick Encore. September 2, 2024 — The Chevrolet "Shift to Park" class action lawsuit continues in a Michigan court after General Motors told a judge that the nationwide lawsuit should be dismissed and two plaintiffs should be thrown out of the case. General Motors Shift to Park lawsuit includes: “Any person or entity who purchases or leases a 2021-2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer, 2020-2022 Chevrolet Traverse, 2020-2023 Chevrolet Malibu, or 2020-2023 Buick Encore vehicle in the United States.” GM said the vehicles were not "unsaleable" as the eight plaintiffs claimed, and that they certainly did not pose a safety risk given that owners continued to drive their vehicles.
