Fehrmann v. GENERAL MOTORS LLC

What this case is about

The plaintiff, Fehrmann, is suing General Motors on behalf of a proposed class of consumers who purchased or leased certain General Motors vehicles. The lawsuit alleges that these vehicles contain one or more defects that General Motors knew about but failed to disclose to buyers. The plaintiff claims that GM's failure to warn customers about these problems, and its failure to adequately fix them, caused vehicle owners financial harm, including reduced vehicle value and out-of-pocket repair costs. The proposed class likely includes all individuals in the United States who purchased or leased the affected GM vehicles within a certain time period. The case is being heard in federal court based on diversity of citizenship between the parties.
