General Motors Cases Under Delaware Lemon Law
GM cases in Delaware — Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Buick — Silverado, Equinox, Bolt EV, and powertrain/infotainment defect patterns, with coastal-salt factors.
General Motors (Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Buick) holds a solid Delaware market share — Silverado, Equinox, and Traverse are common. Cases are pursued under the Delaware Lemon Law, the Consumer Fraud Act, and Magnuson-Moss. (Delaware once hosted GM’s Boxwood Road Wilmington plant, closed in 2009 — no current OEM production.)
Common GM defect patterns
- 6.2L / 5.3L V8 lifter / AFM-DFM failures — collapsed lifters, engine damage.
- 8-speed (8L90/8L45) transmission shudder — extensive class-action history.
- 10-speed transmission issues.
- Chevy Bolt EV — battery fire recall (LG cells), cold-weather range/charging.
- CUE / GM infotainment failures (Cadillac).
- Electrical / BCM faults (coastal-salt corrosion relevant).
Delaware GM market
- Silverado for work and commuter use (passenger-use trucks covered).
- Equinox / Trax / Traverse core volume.
- Cadillac / Buick in the Wilmington luxury segment.
Safety + Consumer Fraud Act leverage
The Bolt battery-fire recall is a serious safety matter, and 8-speed shudder class-action history plus AFM/DFM lifter TSBs support a Consumer Fraud Act theory with the mandatory treble. Coastal salt accelerates GM brake-line and electrical corrosion.
Bottom line
GM cases — V8 lifter failures, 8-speed shudder, and Bolt battery issues — are well-positioned under Delaware law. Exhaust any certified IDS, then sue. Get a free case review.
