In the case against GM (General Motors), the plaintiff pursued legal action regarding a newly purchased 2022 Chevrolet Corvette. The vehicle was acquired from a dealer in La Mesa, California with only 10 miles on the odometer. Shortly after the purchase, the plaintiff experienced significant issues with the vehicle, prompting multiple service visits.
During the first repair visit, the Corvette was taken to the dealer for a persistent check engine light and starting problems. The dealer conducted a complimentary multipoint vehicle inspection, adjusting tire pressures to the manufacturer’s specifications.
During this service, technicians discovered a faulty battery cell, which was replaced. Additional diagnostic codes however, indicated more complex electrical issues related to the ignition and engine control.
Following the initial repair visit, the plaintiff returned to the dealership after reporting that repairs conducted by an independent service provider were not done correctly. The dealer again inspected the tire pressures and found that the wheel speed sensor had failed, despite previous repairs.
Shortly after this, the vehicle was towed to the dealership after it failed to start and emitted a burning smell. Upon inspection, multiple warning lights illuminated on the dashboard. The dealership performed a comprehensive multipoint vehicle inspection, revealing that the battery required replacement.
Further diagnostic scans uncovered numerous error codes related to the Engine Control Module (ECM) and Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM). After thorough testing and circuit analysis, a faulty relay was identified and replaced, leading to successful repairs.
Given that the vehicle spent more than 46 days in the repair shop over multiple visits and continued to exhibit reliability issues, the plaintiff decided to pursue legal remedies under the Lemon Law.
