Defective Ecotec Engines
According to a lawsuit that General Motors settled for at least $40 million, 2010–2013 Chevrolet Equinox vehicles have been equipped with defective Ecotec engines that cause high oil consumption.
Diesel Fuel Injection Pumps
A class action lawsuit filed against General Motors in 2020 alleged that Bosch-supplied fuel injection pumps were designed for European diesel and, as a result, malfunction in vehicles that run on American diesel.
These pumps, known as CP4 pumps, allegedly run dry and destroy themselves if given American diesel for too long. Affected Chevrolet models include the 2011–2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 2011–2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD and 2010–2011 Chevrolet Express vehicles.
Duramax Diesel Litigation
A separate lawsuit targeting Chevrolet’s diesel vehicles alleges that General Motors conspired with Bosch to equip 2011–2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD trucks and other GM vehicles with cheating software that allowed the polluting trucks to pass federal and state emissions tests. The Duramax Diesel Litigation, which started in 2017, alleges that some 705,000 GM diesel vehicles on the road are emitting several times the legal limit of pollutants and toxic gases such as nitrogen oxide (NOx).
Defective Ignition Switch
The most prominent case of misconduct on the part of Chevrolet’s parent company was the defective ignition switch scandal linked to several lawsuits and the deaths of more than 100 consumers. The ignition switches in some General Motors vehicles, particularly the Chevrolet Cobalt, were known to shut off engines and disable air bags and brakes. General Motors recalled over 30 million vehicles globally in 2014.
Along with its Cadillac division, General Motors also controls Chevrolet and GMC. Read the other division pages to learn more about General Motors’ misconduct via its other brands and discover if you have a Chevy lemon law case.
