Common GM Problems
General Motors, LLC is one of the largest automotive manufacturing companies in the United States. Founded in 1908, GM has produced hundreds of millions of vehicles that have been distributed around the globe. Unfortunately, many of these vehicles contain defects that can decrease the value of the vehicle and put consumers at risk. Common GM defects include:
Airbag explosions
Anti-lock braking system failures
Body and chassis problems
Brake pedal failure
Defective seat belts
Electrical malfunctions
Ignition switch issues
Steering system issues
Transmission failures
Uncontrolled acceleration
If you experience any issue or defect with your GM vehicle, take the car to an authorized dealership for repairs. If the issue cannot be remedied within a reasonable number of attempts or amount of time, it may be a lemon. In California, the defect does not have to have occurred within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles to qualify a consumer for a resolution under the Lemon Law.

In recent years, General Motors has been involved in dozens of serious recalls involving millions of vehicles.
