CHEVROLET TRANSMISSION CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CERTIFIED - What You Need to Know - Lemon Law
Overview of General Motors / Chevrolet Hydramatic Transmission Class Action Lawsuit
Back in January of 2021, we wrote about an upcoming lemon law class action complaint involving the Hydra-Matic 8L90 and 8L45 transmission class action. After 2.5 years, we can finally report that the lemon law class action has been certified in California and includes the following vehicles:
2015-2019 Chevrolet Silverado
2017-2019 Chevrolet Colorado
2015-2019 Chevrolet Corvette
2016-2019 Chevrolet Camaro
2015-2019 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV
2016-2019 Cadillac ATS, ATS-V
2016-2019 Cadillac CTS
2016-2019 Cadillac CT6
2016-2019 Cadillac CTS-V
2015-2019 GMC Sierra
2015-2019 GMC Yukon
2015-2019 GMC Yukon XL and Yukon Denali XL
2017-2019 GMC Canyon
California consumers claimed that the transmission would ‘shudder, not shift cleanly and occasionally clunk into gear,” amongst a myriad of other complaints like an "excessive vibration at idle" and jerking, which doesn’t sound good at all.
Did the manufacturer release a GM Hydramatic Transmission Recall?

What should I do if I have GM transmission problems?
If you've had to have your GM vehicle repaired more than once while it was still under warranty, your car can be deemed a "lemon," and you might be entitled to a refund, financial compensation, and payment of your legal fees and expenses. Owners of GM vehicles have been reporting numerous transmission problems for the past ten years, but the manufacturer has offered little solutions.
As most class action cases address collective rather than individual problems, taking part may not ensure that you will receive compensation for all the problems your car has encountered.
Bringing an individual lemon law claim and choosing not to participate in a class action is a better strategy to increase your chances of financial recovery. Avoid being forced to drive a car that has lemon law defects that could put you in danger. You can get a free, rapid, and confidential case evaluation from Valero Law to see whether you have grounds for a lemon law claim.
