General Motors Cases Under Hawaii Lemon Law

General Motors (Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Buick) holds meaningful Hawaii market share — Silverado, Equinox, Trax, and Tahoe are common. Cases are pursued under the Hawaii Lemon Law, the HRS § 480-13 UDAP, and Magnuson-Moss.

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), range/charging.
CUE / GM infotainment failures (Cadillac, heat-accelerated).
Electrical / BCM faults (salt-air corrosion relevant).

Hawaii GM market

Silverado for work and island use (half-ton within the 10,000-lb cap covered).
Equinox / Trax core volume.
Tahoe / Suburban family-hauler segment.

Safety + UDAP leverage

The Bolt battery-fire recall is a serious safety matter (one-attempt-rule territory), and 8-speed shudder class-action history plus AFM/DFM lifter TSBs support UDAP automatic-treble theories. Salt air aggravates electrical faults.

Bottom line

GM cases — V8 lifter failures, 8-speed shudder, and Bolt battery issues — are well-positioned under Hawaii law. Use SCAP for speed or court for UDAP treble. Get a free case review.
